This is another site that provides you with a number of choices for sending donations in aid of the tsunami crisis which has so far claimed 160,000 lives by some estimates. The site is focused on Canadian contributors. Thanks Nick.

For my new site I will finally migrate my HTML entries to content management software. Currently I manually update everything in HTML and .css and it is just too unwieldy. While I'd like to keep my styles (or rather, the styles on the new site), I need to be able to update faster and also include the ability for comments. Dreamweaver just doesn't cut it anymore. Any recommendations?

Using the ramp up time coming back from vacation to learn a few new things and put together my new site. Take a sneak peak at the design here. My future plans for it include incorporating some true blogging software.

I survived the New Year - spent it with friends and special friend - and am looking forward to what faces me in 2005. Just a note that there won't be that many notes on this blog in the next couple weeks as I plan to launch a new look. This current website has stayed the same for the past three years and is way past due replacing. This is something I will work on in the next two weeks. Also, I will be back to work on Tuesday and expect to be busy there. My time off this Christmas has been great creatively as I finished the third draft on my vampire script, started a beat sheet for my next and recharged my brain.
