chewykolchuk.com

The whole point of the last 5 posts was that I’ve decided on a plan of attack for chewykolchuk.com

I like to tinker with the site and I like getting into the HTML, PHP and CSS files and customize all the stuff myself, but I didn’t really set a good gameplan for the site. It was all just random tinkering. I’ve now come to the decision that I shouldn’t spend much time on the site here, since I have my Nunatak Media site that needs to be built, so I should get to working on that and let it be the place where I get my tinkering habits satisfied, and use this site as it was meant to be used. As a blog.

So these last few posts are my attempt at getting this theme to work properly and then I’m done. A simple enough site to click through and read my idiotic posts and see my pictures and all that.

Please to enjoy…

Veronica and I went to visit her mom’s side of the family last July. Seattle to Carson City, NV in one day and it was quite a haul. Saw a lot of nice scenery there and back though and this sunset was one such scenery that we were able to witness.

This image is from months ago. The silver freehub in the background is aluminum and very soft. After a few years of riding, it died and so I got the steel replacement. I got into a picture taking mood, so here’s one from that night.

Jagermeister is for idiots! Even if your name IS Metallica (which it is).

Last year at Bumbershoot I took my SLR with me and got a cool shot of Pacific Science Center after the sun went down.  This post is mainly for testing purposes, as the next few will be, but it’s a cool picture I think.

Hello to both readers out there! Welcome to the newest revision of ChewyKolchuk.com. There are some cool features with this theme that is currently in place, and while I’m still working out a few bugs, I’ll leave it up as is so you can give me feedback if you want to.

Notice that there is a Lead Article, as well as Featured Articles below it.  Those will be the most recent Lead and Featured Articles in chronological order, but know that not all posts will be Lead or Featured, so if you just want to see most recent posts, then click the Recent Post tab above this window.  This Lead Article window is supposed to have an image attached to it, but I haven’t used the specific code that makes it all work, so I’m working on getting it up and in place.

I hope to start posting more regularly, since I am now a year into my new career as a web developer and I suppose I should start becoming more cyborg-like if I’m to fully wrap my head around the culture and thus become a more rounded and experienced professional web dork.

Stay tuned!

Well, here’s how that works.  For a long time now, I’ve been pretty lax on posting to the site, and recent history hasn’t shown any different.  However, let’s review the tape from last week, shall we?

Firstly, we’ve had some cold-ish weather recently, and one night, when there was a good temperature inversion and it was foggy, I took some pictures of the sky.  That was fun.

Then, a few days later, Whitty had a birthday.  The whole deal was this:  He was turning 40 and since he grew up in AK where men are Men, and since you should be a Man by the age of 40, well he was going to have a Manly Birthday Party!  So he and a friend of his and I all decided that we were going to be Manly at his birthday party.  And we all went Redneck Style for whatever reason.  Knowing that the wardrobe is limited, I decided that I would up the bar a little bit.  So I shaved my head to look like male-pattern baldness.  OH YEAH!  Here are the photos of the party.  Please to enjoy…

Okay, so I got one element working. That’s the “featured content” feature, which features a given post by allowing you to upload a large, custom image that suits the aforementioned featured content.

Gonna try some others in here to see how/when they affect each other. See you in a bit.
