the construct :: weblog

I’ve been working on musicglob little by little the past few weeks. I’m pretty close to relaunching back into everything. For now I want to go through hopefully all my email before I go live with the new version of the site.

One of the new features of musicglob is I have created a sort-of “news wire” for myself. It is aptly named “the musicglob wire” and is over at wire.musicglob.com In the new version of the site I have a section in the sidebar that displays a list of the latest posts on the wire and links to them. This was all made possible via the Simplepie wordpress plugin that allows me to pull any RSS feeds and display based on templates. I thought about keeping “the wire” in my main weblog and just display it as a category… yet I decided to keep things organized and setup another Wordpress installation for the wire. That way if that space expands, it has room to grow without screwing up any of my other musicglob stuff.

I still have lots of ideas of a direction for musicglob… only time is the factor at this point.

I purchased vinely.com to use for a “web 2.0″ domain name for a cool app. Something that brings all your “vines” aka your twitter, blog posts, other RSS feeds, facebook, myspace, etc etc into one place. I kinda abandoned the idea because I have no time or know-how right now to do that kind of thing. Plus it’s already being done by larger companies that will hopefully do a far better job than my grand scheme of things.

So instead I’m using vinely.com as my own “web vine” of sorts. Right now it’s more of a tumblog / twitter / instant update blog than anything. I’ll be testing social web applications that are open source and maybe come up with something cool that a few people will like. Either way I’ll be learning stuff and that is what’s really important when you work within teh internets. There’s lots of free apps and API’s out there to do cool stuff with so when I find the time, maybe something will happen.

Until then, vinely is my web vine.

Kiss me goodbye
For the doctors are comin’
We all know why
Because I wasn’t born
Here we go again
As time passes by here
We don’t live and lie here
We’re all going to die
In the end

One of my favorite tracks off of the pretty old album.
