2008 AIS Christmas Party, Father & Son: Edward W. Chin and "Bradtastic" Brad Chin

Merry Christmas. Seriously.

I frequently joke about many things… but this, especially this year, with what’s going on all around the world and here at home, the state of the economy and state of the Union… enjoy this time with friends and family. Enjoy the time off. Do something new. Explore.

Whatever it is about this time of year that makes us set-aside differences, come together and be happy, let’s try and hang onto that. Let’s strive for better relationships all of the time—year’roundlife is too short to need a holiday for an excuse to be happy.

Much love and special thanks to my family, friends and supporters. The following are some little messages to important people. It’s my Christmas version of Thanksgiving, sans Turkey and pilgrim stuff.

Altered Structure

That title simply sounds better than “making changes to my blog;” of course, proceeding to explain this very-unimportant and trivial fact negates any possible positive-effects… and maybe that’s why it’s important (to explain).

If you’re reading this at bradtastic.com, you’d see that the site has been stripped of the artwork and imagery, most of the previous articles and entries are gone (or hidden, “same-difference” to the viewer), and that I’m finally using K2. K2 is many things, “good” amongst ‘em, but it’s also more complicated. I hadn’t taken the time to test K2 before making the “upgrade,” so I’m learning as I go. It’s a good thing you’re not paying me to read this blog, huh?

A lot of changes are being made. New content, of course… I also started a new sub-site, spill.bradtastic.com for personal stuff, my friends and me. Probably not too interesting for anyone outside of the circles, though I do find interesting web-apps and beta services (every day). I share links and beta codes, but my microblogs (check the sidebar) and Plurk are probably easier to follow than a tumblelog.

It would help me (greatly) to know who reads this blog and why; I can see the traffic, but instead of comments I get a lot of personal emails. Unfortunately, many of the “game-related” or “art of impression” questions are really, really good; I’d like to share the questions and answers with others, I think it’ll help.

Lastly, thanks for dealing and waiting: it’s not always easy, just being a person, with five-dollars-per-gallon gas and a shoulder disability… often I find that working on my blog is at the top of my want list and at the bottom of my need list. Needs vs wants… sounds. Familiar.
