Random Territory – v2
This is the previous version of Random Territory. It is actually almost the same as version one, just a few tweaks here and there. It started out as my senior thesis while in college, and grew into what is there now. It was an exploration into how letting the randomness that can be programmed into code can generate some really beautiful things. My two favorite parts are the actual interface, with nested branches that are a little different every time you open them, and the project 1006_12b. That piece was really my inspiration for the whole site. I wanted some new backgrounds for my computer screen and wrote a little flash app to randomly generate them for me. Check out the site, or just enjoy the screen shots below.
99 Ideas on the Wall…
So, after many long years, I decided it is time to redo this here site. Having been essentially the same since in launched 6 years ago (has it really been almost 6 years…sigh), its time for something new. I’ve actually started and scrapped a redesign of the at least 4 times by my count. I’ve thought a lot about what I want my site to be and what I need it to be (those are not always the same thing).
Things I want it to be:
- My portfolio
- A place where I can post flash experiments
- Good looking
- Clean
- Kind of random
- A creative outlet
- A creative tool
Things I need it to be:
- Actually live (not another idea on my hard drive)
- Easy to add new content
- Bug free
- Flexible
With those things in mind, I’ve decided to set it up as a WordPress blog for the near future. This give me something that is all the things I need it to be, right now. I don’t want it to be a blog in the traditional sense. I just want it to be someplace that I can create. Expect to see a wide variety of content on the site, including work I’ve done, work others have done that inspire me, random posts that quite possibly could be about nothing, photography, flash explorations, and posts about developer geek stuff.
