In the last year:

1) I’ve gotten married to the beautiful Melissa. We were married February 14th, 2009 at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto.

2) I’ve been an excellent student. No seriously. This last semester (3 of 4), I got A+ in 4 out of 5 classes.

3) I’ve realized my life is pretty damn good as it is. I’ve got a wife who I love with all my heart, and I’ve got a definite career path set in something I really love doing. What more is there to ask for?

For the first time in 16 years, I’m back in school. After one day, I love it. But then, my first two classes were food related. Computers and Math will likely bore me to tears.

I’m thinking maybe the site is due for a visual update, but I’m not sure what yet.

I’ve added twitter updates to the site.

More changes here. Mostly background stuff, and a few compliance fixes. You’ll be hard pressed to find anything on this site that doesn’t validate as proper XHTML 1.1/CSS.

As well, I’ve added ATOM feeds alongside the RSS feeds. See the buttons at the bottom?

A lot of the backend code has been updated as well, streamlining it and making it far more secure.

I’ve added a few images and an MP3 to the mix as well. I’ll be adding a few more things, soon.

That’s right, now you can get your usual Zang Tao-y goodness fortified with vitamin RSS!

I’ve coded RSS generators for the News, About Me, Music, Art and Photo pages. The Music feed complies with iTunes by including the proprietary <itunes:xxxx> tags, meaning it can be added to iTunes as a podcast by clicking Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast and entering the feed address there. links to the xml for each section can be found at the bottom of the related pages. I may in the future add a page listing all the feeds.

Other than that, I will be adding new photos and photo categories, as well as doing a bunch of work on the admin side of things.

It’s been over a year and a half since I last re-designed this site, so I figured I was due for a change. So much else has changed in my life since then that I needed something different and fresh.

And voila! Here it is. ;)

Well, it’s been a while…

Aside from a few new songs added to the music section, there’s lotsa news in Zangland. I’m currently dating the sweetest girl I think I’ve ever met. Her name’s Melissa and she’s cute, sexy and seems to get me. She’s got a penchant for making me smile. ;)

This past weekend, we saw Nine Inch Nails live in concert, and watched the Toronto Pride parade. I think my face is two shades darker now. I avoid the sun, but it always seems to find me.

I’ve now included links to what I’m currently playing (via Brandon Fuller’s awesome Now Playing plugin for iTunes), as well as a direct link to my webcam. Both are only visible if iTunes or my webcam are running, respectively.

Okay, added a few older photos, as well as some artwork. As well, I modified the “recent additions” on the index pages for the art and photo pages.

So it’s the holiday season… Forget giving presents to the family members you barely know. You wanna do something worthwhile? Help save CBGB’s; the home of the American punk scene.

So, I’ve added a few new tracks to the music page.

Other than that, a lot has changed in my life. Have been removing the toxic elements and people, and alla that hoaky, new-agey, self-help jazz. I’ll be recording more stuff in the near future, so keep tuned.

Okay, so like the anal little perfectionist I am, I’ve done a bunch more work to the site. A lot of it backend stuff, but I did add a few more of my MP3s to the Music page that previously weren’t “public” (ie; listed on my previous Music page). As well, I changed that page to reflect the most recent additions. I’ll likely change the Photo and Art pages to do the same.

Just did a few little minor bug fixes and tweaks to the new layout and it’s backend. Nothing serious, and nothing anyone would really notice. I’m not even sure I know why I’m mentioning it. :P

Welcome to a new look for my site! I just decided last Sunday that I was going to redesign my personal site and voila, here it is. Visually, it’s not a whole lot different. It is however, light years ahead structurally. I’ve created an entire content management system for the site, meaning that I can easily manage information without having to edit a single line of HTML. Funky, huh?
