The Blog is Back

Monday, October 5th, 2009

After about a month offline for being a deadbeat vacation, I got my blog back online today. Basically, this means I have my new credit/debit card in my pocket, my student loans in the bank, and a whole lotta unnecessary stress is over.
Now it’s time for the necessary stress to kick in again.
Anyway, first full [...]

To Pass the Time

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I’m really excited about the special guest judges coming up on the next installment of the mascot contest. We’re 90% ready, so expect it soon. I’m still waiting to get the results from one judge and finishing up one last photo shoot.
In the meantime, here’s a fun (language NSFW) video starring triple-threat and Buffy alum [...]

The Mascot Contest: Meet the Players

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Although I never said as much officially, for the last year, I’ve thought of Diggs as the unofficial mascot of Blind Prophecy. While I’ve decided he will always be the mascot in memoriam, it’s time to designate a new mascot who can help carry the blog forward.

Didn’t you realize that all the best blogs have [...]

It’s My Day

Friday, May 29th, 2009

The blogger as an infant. Note the always classic “Jere with no hair” look I was pioneering even as a baby. My diapers tend to fit better these days, though.
It’s that time of year. The third anniversary of my twenty-ninth birthday. You may leave your offerings in celebration of my ability to be birthed in [...]

ADA Compliance

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Got an email from Grandpa Joe letting me know he was having trouble reading the site with the new design. Yup, the theme I borrowed used terrible non-compliant code for setting fonts (using “px” for reference – literally tying the font size to the number of pixels). I’ve been converting them to % codes instead [...]

New Theme

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

So, enough people were complaining about having trouble posting comments, I decided one thing to test was the CSS/design of the site. I’ve spent the night tweaking the “Manhattan” theme to my liking (although I’ll probably play with it a bit more), then getting everything reformatted to take best advantage of the design.
What do you [...]

Picture This?

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

It feels like time to do another round of blogger introductions. This time, I’m singing the praises of photobloggers I follow (defined as people who primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, use photos to drive their content).
First up is Alan Bennet Ilagan’s self-titled blog. Voted “best dressed man” last year in the DC Metro area, Alan [...]

Don’t scare the little guy…

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Sometimes I forget that not all my blog friends know each other. I don’t always point out the blogs I read and recommend, so I’m going to make more effort at linky lurve.
One of the relatively recent additions to my blogroll is Hotel Tuesday by Enrico, who also makes a point of leaving comments despite [...]
