The State of [News] Journalism

+ No comments yet
Have you been having qualms about Church Militant articles and videos that I share from time to time? Well, I invite you to do a bit of reading here.

Michael Voris, the founder of the Church Militant organization was interviewed by Samuel Freedman, an author of the New York Times column "On Religion." This interview was used for an article to profile Church Militant, which was published on December 30th, 2016. I'd like you to read their article first.

Today, January 4th, Michael Voris gave his rebuttal to the article in a live Vortex episode, which I now invite you to either read or watch.

You may also read the transcript of the interview if you're interested.

Stop-motion

+ No comments yet
This thing is very hard to master. It takes massive amounts of time to just make a few seconds or less of amateur-looking animation.

This is going to be loads of fun.

Here’s a little something that took me almost an hour to do…

Update: I ain't doing animation no more. 

It's cool, but it ain't my thing, takes too much time and isn't as enjoyable as something like software development.

Live Tiles

+ No comments yet
If you’re using Windows Phone or Windows 8, you can pin my website to the Start screen. But, alas, it’s not an ordinary tile… it’s alive! Thus, it cycle through some of my recent blog posts.

Now you can find out if a blog is worth reading just by glancing at the tile. (Cue in something about technology and laziness here.)


Here’s some pictures for those of you who have yet to upgrade:

Wow such live tile

So Responsive

+ No comments yet

What theme.

Wow.

 

So upon finding this theme and tweaking it, I was able to find how “easy” it is to design a “responsive website.” Basically, everything has a relative size, more or less, and then when the browser window is smaller than a certain size, you can set what things should display, or be moved somewhere else. (e.g. the logo disappears and the sidebar appears at the bottom on phones instead of on the side.)

 

I’m still no web designer though.

 

But I guess this indicates success.

 

What celebration.

Bing Knowledge Widget

+ No comments yet
I played around with some amateur webmaster toys. How this one works is you simply select the text you want to know more about. A little thing that says “Bing” will pop up, and all you do is click it, and it will show you more information about that word in Bing off to the right, without ever having to leave the page!

Ain’t that neat.

What format

+ No comments yet
So I spent a few days fighting with Blogger to change some fonts. I can't seem to change 100% of the fonts, at least on the mobile version, but when I have the knowledge, I'll be having a “liquid layout” instead of fooling around with two versions of the website. Much celebration will occur when that day comes.
