Indeed, you may not have heard it here first, but tumbledry will be getting a redesign. The redesign, really. This upcoming iteration is projected to take us through the next six years of online presence. Six years. Wow. Why so long? Long college years and dental school (crossing my fingers) lie ahead. Thus, the site will slowly be less and less of a digital design playground and more and more of a workhorse journal for my thoughts, hopes, dreams, and fears. The latter is really what I have always wanted it to be, but it has eluded me because of a desire to change the look. A combination of several factors have made me consider stopping this constant redesigning:

1.) I just got Adobe Photoshop CS2. Combine this with 5 years working on JASC Paintshop Pro, I consider myself competent (only competent, many many people out there can clean my clock with digital imaging, so to speak) with digital image manipulation - it’s time to put those hard-earned lessons out there with understated elegance … and then give myself a rest.
2.) In my job developing a large amount of the code at the St. Thomas CAM, I feel it’s time to write some real code, something elegant, maintainable, and efficient. I’ve learned a lot these past 12 months, and intend to make the code behind this version of tumbledry the best yet.
3.) This is the last time for a while I will have the time to do this.

That said, it is time. I will be working on this for at least one month, and really my projected goal for this to be done is the 4th of July. I may miss this date, but things will be certainly done by the end of the summer. Tumbledry v14.0 will be fast, beautiful, and most of all, durable. I look forward to sharing it with all of you.
