Now:

The re-releasing of my remixed albums is in full swing. I’m now into the E.nergy A.udio R.evolution album which started new releases back on January 2nd. It continues releasing a song a week for the first 12 weeks of 2026.

Still doing the podcast: Inside the Recording Studio.

Overhaul of this website is starting to go beyond 100% completion. This past week has seen refinements to the UI for music pages. Specific tweaks make it more obviously that a user can click on the song title or lyrics text and it will open up a modal window with the lyrics and liner notes for that song. Plus if they click on the miniature album cover, or the big ass “own it now” button, it will take them to the products for that release in the web store.

As for the web store, I’ve added a ton more products. Also added a way to speed up the loading time of the pages dramatically. Another dramatic speed up has to do with getting the fan list updated with the weekly releases. It was taking 30+ minutes to update the database, found a way to speed it up to 23 seconds. That’s a substantial savings in compute time.

Along the lines of gamifying, I’ve created the various fan levels. So far there is bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Will add more levels when people start blowing past the Platinum level. Which means I now have to start really fleshing out the perks for each level. Working on creating the content for the Silver level.

Starting work on another album of animated covers. This particular batch will be in 3D animations, which proving to be a big learning curve, but I’d really like to set my covers apart from 2D animations everyone else does (and I have quite a few I did in 2D as well) I’m almost up to 6 months of weekly releases scheduled in advance. Which is awesome with the marketing backend I’ve built.

Relationship status: Taken and happy.
