Hey, I just wanted to check in with everyone. See, as you can probably tell, I’ve been really slacking off for writing for this website.

I have a reason, but it’s not completely valid. School has been busy, and even though I had a long spring break, I couldn’t really get anything done. I took a vacation, and the rest of the time I spent relaxing and desiging this theme.

The theme, though, I am very proud of. It was originally based off of my Virb, and was then adapted into a page handmade in CSS and xHTML. I was proud of it, and even made a partly done Wordpress theme for it, that was integrated into the rest, but I figured I needed a Wordpress theme that worked all on its own. So, for the past couple of days I have been making this, mainly on the weekends.

Overall, I’m sorry for slacking, if you were one of my dedicated readers. Eventually, if you’re not a dedicated reader, there will be a reason to be. Just you wait.

PS: Although I said I would never write about myself to some people, I think that’s going to change. I am still going to write about things in the News and technology things that I am interested in, but if something interesting happens to me I might right about it. The other times I might write about it are when I am explaining things about the site, and why it hasn’t been updated.

If you want to help me with the site, offer critique, comments, and suggestions on the theme, and submit articles you want me to write about, then feel free to email me at conner at connerdowney dot com. (replace the at with “@”, the dot with “.”, and remove the spaces.

Here’s a very funny comic by Foxtrot. It plays on how the RIAA has sued grandmothers, 12 year old girls, and other crazy things like that, just to get money. They have also recently come out with a website where you can pay for what you’ve pirated online, at a discount. This is perfect evidence of how they don’t want to help the artists, they just want money. But, enough of that, follow the link.

I found this video last year, and have been trying to find it for a while, but I finally have. It’s really funny, and it’s to the tune of a great song by a great band. It is placed in a private school’s Model United Nations club, and it’s a play on what the United States Government did in 2003, but it still manages to make it humorous and funny. For more information on the video, go the Wikipedia article on 16 Military Wives

I encourage you to check it out, it’s very good.
