New Host, Artistry

So this is the first post on the new server!  That’s exciting, I guess.  ;-)

I changed my webhost from cookiehost to dreamhost for cheap-plan-expired-and-new-one-by-same-host-couldn’t-be-found reasons.  :P   I don’t really have high expectations for dreamhost, but they somehow advertise the plan as having unlimited storage.  I don’t know if there is fineprint for people like me, but that sounds like a good place to backup everything on my computer.  This would be really slow at home, but one upside of college internet is that they have a good connection, lots of people downloading usually, but not many people uploading things at once, which means upload speeds of around 1.2MB/s, which is pretty stinking good in my book.  =)

Enough geek talk.  What I just said was that I changed the location of where jonyoder.com is hosted, and then other things are happening too.  ;-)   As you may have noticed, the blog is working, but the gallery and never-visited camp forums are still not working.  I’ll fix them sometime.  :)

My initial attempt and mastery of art.

Here is my first picture that I drew using a wacam tablet.  It’s definitely a different way of drawling, and some things are weird, but it was definitely a fun adventure.  If nothing else, it motivated me to make a really ridiculous picture.  :-)

Also, Happy Valentine’s day!  If nothing else, tell your mom how great she is.  I know I will!  =)

“It is better to create than to be learned, creating is the true essence of life” – Barthold Niebuhr

I really wish I was the creative type, especially when I see the results of other people’s creativity. Maybe if I see enough creativity then some of it will pass on to me…maybe not. That just might result in my creating a compilation of other people’s creative efforts–but even then, that has to be at least a small form of creativity, right? There I go trying to sound philosophical again. I better stop now before things get too out of hand.

All that nonesense was merely an intro to a website that I found–noonebelongsheremorethanyou. Sure, promotion may be involved, but I don’t even care. I’ve never seen this done before, and the result is kinda cool. ;) [found here]

I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
But if you’ll wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me (what? this is in the song?),
I promise, I promise you I will.
