More details to come later.

Again, I’m terribly sorry about blowing up your mailboxes.

Well, kind of sorry anyway.

HellaMike.com has been updated to version 3.  Version 1 (December, 2004 via http://web.archive.org’s Way Back Machine) was a place holder. I needed web space, but not a site, so I put that up as a joke, and it stayed until the winter/spring of 2006 when version 2 went live. It was a portfolio site, used to host samples of my video and graphic work. Web Archive’s Way Back Machine doesn’t have anything of version 2 which kind of sucks, but version 2 sucked.

Yeah, version 2 sucked. It was up from February-ish 2006 until last Sunday (November 16th, 2008).

Long live version 3! This update has been a long time coming. My portfolio site needed to be updated for a long time and I was either lazy or lazy so it never got updated.

The blogs (yes plural), there is the Danger Blog (this blog, dir) which is my personal blog, but for a while I’ve had a professional blog set up at http://www.hellamike.com/blog that I have hidden from most of you. Well, that’s not true, I just never told anyone about it. But that is where I post the things that I have created, whether they are videos, graphics, or whatever I am working on, that is the place to see it.

It is much easier for me to update my portfolio using a blog then when the site was HTML. You can subscribe to it if you want, but there really isn’t a need to unless you want to see my stuff.

I also want to give a shout out to Raymond Krause at CSS Tinderbox who created the template I used for the main page. I’ve edited it to suit my needs, and I think it looks awesome. He has a number of other templates on his site if you need one.

I’ve tried a bunch of variations, DangerBlog.com is a porn-ish site, DangerPants.com is taken, but they have that pretty cool picture to the left. Those pants are pretty dangerous, so I’m not totally upset about this.

Ali and I spent a good hour trying various URLs that were either taken, dumb, or both.

I need suggestions, people. If you like, you can check http://www.regfly.com to see if something is available. I’d like to stick with a .com ending. If someone suggests something that I like, and it’s available, I will register it today.

I’m working on several projects now,  and I really shouldn’t be wasting my time on this, but it’s helping me figure out how I want to set my “professional” blog up. I will have more to say about this blog in later posts.Some of the projects I have lined up are baby blogs, small sites, and my soon to come new site http://www.hellacreativestudio.com. Details on that will come as I start to build the site.

Also as I am picking up more and more side projects I need to design a business card. I have a good design in mind, it’s just a matter of putting pen to paper. Or hand to mouse, as the case may be. Well, that’s it for now. Add me to Twitter: http://twitter.com/Hella
