After many years of being a faithful blogger.com member (5 years) the time has come to leave it in the dust. They made some changes that I didn't like - and I have since discovered a better service... wordpress. We have a new site and some HUGE news... so if you're a faithful wearethemanleys.com viewer - CLICK THE BIG ORANGE ORB ABOVE to be transported to the new and improved wearethemanleys.com. Clean new look - same great tase!
My web design buddy told me about one of the coolest web 2.0 apps online. It's the most streamlined blog that you never have to log into to update. you can emall, phone, text or just bookmark in content. i love it. check it.
This past week I had the honor of driving to Fountain Hills,AZ to chill with the Cronin family... and I finally got to meet Mr. Jonah Cronin. So...I posted a lot of new photos from my LOMO as well as from the Cronin trip. Jonah is so stinkin' awesome! dig it!
This is my new office. (click above image for larger image) I like it. Its quiet, messy, whatever i make it. Its in our house... and for the past week i've been sitting at this desk seemingly non stop. With one week of being with out a 'real' job under my belt - I get to leave this new office for a few days - and go visit my buddy Chad in Phoenix,AZ.
There's a lot more to write/blog about. Lots of new photos and stories. (especially ones about why working at a disfunctional church may be the stupidest thing any human can do) I just have to pencil in some "blog" time into my daytimer so i can write. I'll talk to you all when I get back.
(oh..upon further look at the photo on my desk - there's a lot going on here - so in the comments, if you want, leave a post on your favorite item found in my office. Maybe you have a question about something... like the pink Jesus... ask away. Also - see if you can find the popular late 80's football player with the same last name as us)
NBC had a sneak preview of some clips from spider-man 3 - so i had to watch it. I did. And at the very end for a third of a second you see this! I was so thrilled and jazzed - because finaly we get to see the first glimpes of Venom for the new movie. I AM SO EXCITED! (for those of you not familiar with Venom - here's the Wikipedia entry for him)
Leah and I made it back from winter camp alive - and now I start today jobless. Its weird. It's also planned and also liberating. I do have a pile of design work in my inbox - so its not like I'm laying around in my pajams surfing the net... um... wait... I am. Well..i'm taking today as a recovery day.
So...we'll talk more about this later - but in the mean time I am gonna try to get with the year 1999 and get back up on the instant messaging horse - so if you do that sorta IM'n thing - lets chat. I'm available on AOLIM as: musicismath78 . lets say "hi".
Also to I getting back to the year 2003 and trying to check my myspace from time to time. So if you do that - hit me up. myspace.com/funwithrobots
If you didn't get a chance to TIVO Conan on Tuesday, you missed Explosions in the Sky perform and blow peoples minds. I can't quite put into words how great their new record is, but its right up there with Sigur Ros's "Takk" and Godspeed You Black Emperor's "Lift Yr Skinny Fists..." It puts a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. This is the kind of indie stuff I know I can get my Dad to listen to. ( i bet he never thought i'd be listening to this stuff too... considering all the Slayer and hardcore I listened to while growing up) Getting older and more mature is fun. Sniff sniff.
