Partitioning yourself
For a while, I have split my online blogging between my personal and this blog. It worked originally and all was well, however I now find that I want DOW to become my entire home. I have come to believe that although it can be hard, you can infact be yourself on and offline. As part of this, the next flavour of DOW is going to have an addition. So, welcome to dog food. Why the title? Well, back when I wrote my about page and used the phrase "this blog will not be about what my dog had for dinner". Well, dog food is not going to be about my dog (nice as she is), it is a place for me to sound off, rant, bounce and generally just be me. I have grown lax with my focus on DOW and the measure I took of the daily DOW really did not work.

Statilicious
Now for something from Andy Budd and Glenn Joneswho have released in beta mapsurface, a statistics widget. Rather nice little thing to have a play with it is too as you can display the referrers and use link behaviour on your site. Of course I use mint, but it is a nice little widget none the less and having something on dashboard is nice.

Sometimes inspiration needs help
I have been having quite a tough time over one site I am working on. It is for the 360 gaming website. First off there was a solid idea that went out in the first version, however the more and more I stared at it the more sure I was something was not right. So, I have gone back to the drawing board on it and with a concept in mind hit a bit of a brick wall. In some cases the simple processes you set up to avoid design block just do not work. This was my experience with this site, so turned to the old asking the person designing it for (mate so I can ask them) for inspiration. As a result got a great cd full of goodies to get my designerdar back online. I will be using it as the first website I work on once I get my replacement powerbook.
