Basically, GoDaddy wanted money for it- which made me think about how much I’m not using it. I don’t really spend so much time being a web designer anymore and it seems kind of pointless to constantly chase down links and make sure my page isn’t dead ending people who (for some reason) want to look at my old work. I have been shifting my focus back to music more and more in the past few years and definitely want to focus on artier things than I had gotten up to prior to my decision to run away with the circus and hope for the best.
So my thoughts have lead me to simply take down my print section and stop archiving the past. From now on the site will be a place for snippets of work done on upcoming tunes, experiments in the lab, new visual art as I complete it. The portfolio of one’s accomplishments will always need updating- but this will be updated with the complete and the incomplete- and hopefully serve the same purpose.
Having built the site in blog format- perhaps I will also use it as a forum for talking about things- concepts, funny things, noises that are decidedly “fart-ish”= whatever. Maybe it is my desire to stop putting time into communicating through facebook and shift the focus back to making something comprehensive- a job finder, a work history- whatever it is these sites are supposed to be. To not feel compelled to update the site the second a potential employer requests a CV. I don’t know- but rather than framing out some architecture I have to fill- I will just start posting- let the tags fall where they may. At the end of the day- it’s my site- and I’m tired of static portfolios.
