I have been extremely idol on my own personal projects for quite a while now - just either too busy or too lazy. Lately I have had a pretty strong internal push to finish a few dusty works and get back to it.

I took my site down to redesign...

I wanted to go for something a little more simple and easier to update.
My last site was all flash - even being XML driven, it was a bit of a pain to add to. I didn't want to lose all of the flashy "eye candy" so I have been checking out a few javascript frame works (dojo, mootools, [link], etc.)for the animation bits they have. Still undecided which way to go - but having a lot of fun learning each one.

Once I have solidified a design and how I want it all to work and function, choosing one should be pretty easy.

Hopefully it won't be much more than a week or two.
