Do the ResiDance

Last week, after a lot of hard work, some overtime, and even a cancelled holiday, the latest big project I’ve been working on finally went live. ResiDance is a project for the university’s Housing and Residences department. Users can upload photos of themselves (and optionally a roommate) and then be seen dancing in a UW residence room. (Yes, it is inspired by a site that was quite popular around Christmastime.)

Despite the rushed timeline, this was really a fun project. We bought ourselves a green screen for this! What could be cooler?

At one point growing up, I thought I was a half decent writer. I never kept up with it though, and now, to be honest, I’m having trouble coming up with even a simple blog post. I had a blog previously, but I certainly wasn’t very devoted to posting on it.

I’ve been thinking about getting back to blogging ever since I discovered Heather’s blog when she posted it on Facebook. Of course, I’m a huge geek, so I had to install WordPress so I’d have more control over the blog…and, of course, I’m a huge procrastinator, so I’ve only just gotten around to installing it now, months later. Hopefully it won’t take me quite as long to get around to updating from the default theme.

Now, I’m going to try blogging again, hopefully a little more regularly than before. My posts aren’t going to be anywhere near as meaty as Heather’s, but hopefully they’re a little more interesting than my previous attempts at cataloging things I have bought…not that that won’t still be part of the content.
