    It’s been a long, sleepless week. . . .

    I just wrapped up design work on a small freelance project that has had me bustin’ up my circadian cycle left and right all week long. Despite the lack of sleep, and subsequent late rising every morning this week (thus eliminating the possibility of morning swims and reading/writing sessions before leaving for the office), I’m very happy with this job. Everything seems to have gone very smoothly, especially considering that it was a rush job, and much could have gone very, very wrong. It’s a design for the homepage for a bank rewards program (pedestrian, yes, but not everything can be exciting and SFnal), and if my client’s client likes it, there may be the possibility of designing the whole site. Which means more work for me. Which means more scratch. Which means that a financial safety net is within reach. Or at least somewhere on the horizon. 

    Eventually I’ll get back to working on the custom template for this blog, importing posts from the old blog, and rolling in new content (specifically, some work-in-progress/portfolio-type posts). For now though, I plan to sleep, and see if I can get back to waking up every day at 5:30 a.m. again by Monday. But not before watching this week’s episode of Lost.
    If only I can get the roommates to stop hogging the damn television.

    reggie, on the scoot

    He was my neighbour when I first moved to Brooklyn, and started fooling around with an SLR camera. This image will do for testing out the styles fro inline images in my blog posts.

    Additionally, these are italics. Moreover, this is strong/bold type. 

    1. This
    2. is
    3. an
    4. oredered
    5. list 

    And this would be a quote:

     Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I tend toward those who favour fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate, to say that ice is also great, and will suffice.           

     Thanks, Bob.

    This is my first post in WordPress, after a very painless installation process. Eventually I’ll start migrating posts from my previous Blogger blog over here, in addition to my portfolio posts and some other goodies. In the meantime, I’m going to be very very busy cooking up a custom template for this beast, because dammit, that’s just the way I roll. Once that’s taken care of, I’ll redirect the homepage from Defendini.com here, and this will become my new homepage.Anyway, so far, so good. We’ll see how long that lasts. . . .
