Update: Site Overhaul
So I’ve spent the morning overhauling my website. I’m still tinkering a little, but it appears to be complete.

Update:
I am behind on lettering jobs. This is temporary, and out of my control for the moment, and should be remedied early next week.
I have, in the spare moments of my out-of-my-hands life, created a message board/community/forum called The City. It can be found here: http://www.jaredourke.com/city/. You are welcome, nay… encouraged, to join. There is no topic that is off limits. There are no rules, save for one: I decide. Always.
I am now cross-posting between my website and my LiveJournal. If I could get Gmail to agree with Wordpress for e-mail posting, I might blog more. I might blog more, anyway.
And, I promise, I’ll letter more. I don’t like having fallen behind, but occasionally your personal life f*cks you up.

Think: William Gibson on Now
From the RollingStone.com interview with William Gibson:
In the past ten years, we’ve seen incredible advances in nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Does any of it amaze you?
My assumption has always been that at some point we would lock on to a literally exponential increase in human knowledge. That was my best guess, somewhere back in the Seventies. There hasn’t been anything that made me sit back and say, “Golly, I would never have imagined that.” The aspects of recent history that have caused me to do that have been, in every case, manifestations of retrograde human stupidity.
How do you mean?
It’s been an extraordinarily painful decade or so. I just never in my wildest dreams could have imagined that it could get as fucked up as this guy [George Bush]. It still amazes me how dumb so much of our species can manage to be. But that’s kind of like being amazed at life.

Update
I think I almost have the site up to par with what I want. Maybe a few more tweaks here and there. The important thing is that I’m happy with it, and it’s functional. At least I believe it to be. I’m not actually the one who has to use it. Future employers (such as yourself?) need to be able to navigate it easily. I hope this is so, and you’ll tell me if it’s not.
