Yeah, I have been away awhile. Not just from my blog (now a whopping four posts!), but I’ve also been very inconsistent with others, such as; Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc. Since my main (paying) gig is sales most of my time has been going into trying to make some, because there aren’t many people buying out there. I’ve also been working on a new “top secret” music-related project/business with my buddy, Refe, over at Creative Deconstruction. I’m really psyched about this one, but unfortunately I have to keep it under wraps at this time. If all goes well, it should be ready sometime this coming Fall.
A couple of weeks ago I/we began a manifesto supporting this project called, Album 2.0 – The New Album Manifesto. It’s only in it’s rough stages and isn’t complete, but it IS live. I’m fairly certain you will be able to see where I’m going with what we have so far, so please feel free to let me know what you think.
What’s going on with Plugola? Well, it’s still going and will continue to go. There’s no problems there…so far. *fingers crossed* However we had to hold-off on new updates while times are tough. Yes, it really sucks, especially while the competition continues to grow and I have so many new features I want to add. We still have a bunch of features that the other guys don’t, so if you’re in a band or even a music fan you should stop by and check us out! It’s totally free unless you except when you download music.
On a much more personal level, I have my own little project cooking. In the past few weeks I’ve also been doing a lot of reading and research on renegade and underground art movements. Most of my knowledge about art is very general and what I learned in school — pretty much the stuff what we all know; Picasso, Van Gogh, etc. So I’ve been feeling very inspired after reading about much more modern artists, or in some cases, anti-artists. I’ve been depriving myself of non-business-related creativity for a very long time, so I figured I’d begin my own art project. I’m really not going to say much about it at this point, because I’m not sure where it’s going to go. But I can give you a hint for now…
