Heading in the right direction

Foxinni.com has been my home for just over two years and it has come in various shapes and forms. For well over a year now I’ve been using Wordpress to run the site and I’m very happy with it . But that’s not what I’m writing about today.

For those who have been to my site before will be delighted with my latest addition. I cooked up a fresh new header to reflect my every day life (mug and all). To give you some insight on the new header, here’s the breakdown:

  • A new logo. Same as the old just better and vector. Will tell you more about that later.
  • A funky font type for the title “Foxinni”. I went ghetto with this one.
  • The Picture. That is me of course. Taken at the Bloggerati 2008
  • A fat wordpress logo, because wordpress is the shit!
  • The green “M” is www.monkeysfist.co.za. One of my sites, an active blog for my love of psytrance.
  • A Wacom tablet. I’m very much a graphic designer and as we all know… you can’t live without one of these.
  • There are a few other hidden things, mostly hobbies and interests. See if you can spot them…

And now for the history lesson:

My first header. Pre-wordpress-html-days

My second header, very graphic and kinda weird

My third (and current) header, more personal

Just like the web, nothing remains stagnant for long nor should it. So I plan to make additions and upgrades as time continues. Please give me some feedback, I’d love to hear what you think.

Amsterdam, totsiens

Amsterdam, totsiens
I loved Amsterdam. I can do nothing but rave about how great it is. I most likely should be complaining about how expensive or how cold the weather was, but all I want to do is revisit this wonderful city with it’s whirling bikes and cobbled alley ways. One thing I really loved about Amsterdam was [...] read more

Torchlight, Diablo 3 killer?

Torchlight, Diablo 3 killer?
I’m making a ridiculous statement right out the gates and oddly so because Diablo 3 has not even been released yet. Why say it’s a killer? That’s because Torchlight is exactly what you’d expect the next Diablo to be like. From the start Torchlight submerges you in a neat new world, instantly throwing you into the [...] read more

Rome, Florence, Rome
Booked in the spur of the moment, we were on our way to a four nights stay in Italy. Two nights in Rome and two nights in Florence separated by a four hour train journey. Italy is an incredibly beautiful part of the world with amazing culture, breathtaking monuments and ridiculous traffic. For the backpacking traveler, [...] read more

A night in Betties Bay
Nils and Christi, my “doctor friends”, invited me along for a night with the old gang for a braai, two nights before I had to leave for Ireland. The next morning we went for a dive to take out crayfish. Sadly I don’t have any photos of myself in the Neoprene cladding. Please invite me again, [...] read more

As promised, I will be sharing some of the love The Killers showed the attendees of yesterdays concert. Any chance we as Cape Townians get to go to a big concert, we leap at the opportunity. This was the case with The Killers live in concert, churning out about 20 000, individuals ready for big sound [...] read more

Version 4

Version 4
An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9
This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more
