I’m usually not much for Social Networks. Last.fm is a gift from God, but I’ve found that all others are lacking. I’ve toyed with the idea of attempting to create and mold one myself, but have never done it….until now.

Surfing around I found a website called ning that allows you to create your own social network where like minded people can group together and share ideas, discussions, and anything else. I created one called Christian Punk, for all those punks out there who believe in God. Once I figure it all out I’ll report about how well the site handles everything.

So if you want to communicate with me, even if you’re not a Christian, you’ll find me here: Christian Punk

I’m pleased to announce that Godfrey 1.1 has been released. The new version now offers you the ability to change the theme’s accent colors from the Admin Panel. More color options will be released in the near future.

Now included with the download is the original PSD file, just in case you want to do further customizations.

I’ve been working on updating a few of the WordPress Themes. My primary focus is to make the themes easier to customize and change. To do this I’m working on updating the Admin Panel settings on the themes, thus allowing you to change theme colors, header images, and other options from the Admin Panel instead of having to edit any CSS or page files. I’m also working towards making all themes widget ready.

The end goal for all the themes is that you will be able to fully customize the theme without the need to edit anything outside of the Admin Panel.

It’s official, in a few months I’ll be the proud father of a baby girl. I wonder if she’ll listen to Social Distortion in her crib….

I’m unsure what form this post will take.  I don’t know what my intention is with it, nor do I know what information I want to present to you the reader (all 6 of you).  I do, however, know that I put an image of a Rubik’s Cube to the left.  I did so with the possible intention of provoking myself to write about the cube and how I enjoy it, but I’ve learned from the past that I can’t trust myself, so this may all be part of a cunning plan.

Forging ahead, and watching for traps, I want to talk about the Rubik’s Cube.  It’s a simple little plastic puzzle that will always be remembered as getting Will Smith a job interview, but there’s so much more to it.  There is so much more to learn from it.  There is so much more it can teach you.

For example, I learned how to properly gut a Christmas goose from it.  Using itself as a visual aid, I learned to properly twist the neck of a goose to kill it and arrange the feathers by color.  Life lessons from a child’s game.  I bet Barbie and Ken never taught a child how to properly drain blood from a kitten.  That’s information only the cube can provide.

Lately my coworkers and I have been partaking in cube competitions to see who can solve theirs the fastest.  The current record is 15 seconds, set by a coworker last month.  He is simply the fastest when it comes to speed cubing and sticker removal.  I hope one day do be able to beat him, but I’ve heard the cube will break before he is even bruised.  Maybe one of those 4×4x4 cubes will hold up better though.

Over all the Rubik’s Cube is a great toy that is fun for the whole family.  Dad will enjoy the brain power used to solve it.  Mom will enjoy the dexterity it requires to solve quickly.  Brother and Sister will enjoy racing to see who can solve it first.  And Grand Pa will enjoy staring at the bright colors.  PS: the toy is not intended for pet use as the lead paint may be harmful to their fur. 

Well I think I’ve said enough about the cube.  If you have more questions I urge you to rent the movie Cube, as it will show you in graphic detail how well the cube’s defense mechanisms operate, and also Hellraiser, as it will show you in even more graphic detail what occurs when you solve the puzzle.

Happy Cubing! 

Landis is a clean, classy, and professional WordPress theme whose primary color pallet is Green, Blue, and White.

The design uses a top page navigation and a left sidebar. The sidebar uses custom background shapes per section and is widget ready.

The theme has two custom settings which are controlled from the Admin Presentation page. This allows for custom styling of the Website Title and the second tag line. It also allows for updating of the splash image directly from the admin panel.

Note, you will need to create an uploads folder in your wp-content folder and make it writable. That is the folder that WordPress will upload your new images to.

Version: 1.1
