WTF Mate?!?

So I decided late Friday afternoon to take some pent-up energy and stress and such and begin trying to roll out the full JaredWSmith.com website. I cooked up this design in short order — really only changing a lot of the outer chrome to better fit a “unified” design — and have decided to release it to the public in a beta form on the blog, which gets a fair amount of traffic. I’ll be making adjustments in the next couple weeks as needed. You should like it – I’ve taken what was good about the other design, I think, and cleaned it up quite a bit. It should be a bit easier to read now. Plus, it seems to work a lot better in IE.

Speaking of “WTF”, how about that head-butt at the end of the World Cup game? Congrats to Italy on a hard-fought win. Too bad it came down to penalty kicks, though.

One more WTF item before I get up to stretch and ensure I still know how to walk: ESPN is having major issues right now with their audio. I didn’t know Carlos Baerga is doing ESPN Deportes calls now…that’s pretty cool. But yeah, that’s the audio I’m getting right now. Hehe. Edmonds just hit a home run and he just screamed something in Spanish that was out of this world. I have no clue what he said, but it sounded a lot cooler than what I’m used to hear on a ballgame. :)

Alright folks — enjoy, and tell me what you think.

Well I spent my Fourth of July eating constantly. LOL. I tend to do that at cookouts where the food just doesn’t seem to stop. Yet, there never is anything to show for it. I should enjoy this time, as it definitely won’t last forever. LOL.

I just realized I used “LOL” twice in the last mini-paragraph. LOL. (Blast!)

In any event, I took a screenshot of the hyper-patriotic theme I created especially for the Fourth, just in case you missed it and may have been curious or something.

Here’s a quick rundown of my thoughts of the rest of the day… Continue reading
