This week at emptyeye.com, I returned from my self-imposed exile. Hooray! Since then, I’ve been slowly progressing on the album, doing a bit each day to bring it closer to release. I’d like to continue doing that until it’s finally out. Sometimes it’s significant progress, sometimes it isn’t, but every day it’s at least something. …

Exile. Ur Doin It Rong.
Or however that particular meme goes. In all, I pleasantly surprised myself with how I generally managed to stay on-task throughout the past week or so. It wasn’t perfect–I still have to record some solos, and do all the mixing and such–but the fact that I said to myself eight months or so ago “I …

Tuesday Thoughts #Unknown
Because I’m too lazy to actually count the number of times I’ve done this. Happy Discovery of Kurt Cobain’s Body Day! It should be noted that I was a huge Nirvana fan at one point–“Smells Like Teen Spirit” was the first song I ever learned start-to-finish on bass, in fact–and at one point I honestly …

Emptyeye.com Week 25- Wow! Real Content!
This week here at the site, I completed the process of selling out, putting up an ad on the sidebar. I’ve also been advertising the site elsewhere on Project Wonderful, to hopefully get more viewership to the site. I plan to eventually use things like Digg and Stumbleupon to get popular as well. But the …

I Sold My Soul to Dino Comics
Err, to Project Wonderful anyway (Which is partly run by the man behind Dinosaur Comics). As you can see, the Donate button is gone, replaced by an ad that is currently free. It’s pretty clearly labeled “Ad Space”, so I doubt I can really make it more clear and/or ethical without removing it entirely (Unless …

Emptyeye.com Week 24- Emptyeye Sells Out
This past week on Emptyeye.com, I began actually advertising the site using Project Wonderful. The first day brought me a large spike in viewership–and also burned through fully a quarter of my PW funds I had set aside. After adjusting my ad campaign somewhat, the cost of advertising is now more manageable, though the spike …

Bad Attempts to Advertise Shamelessly
The above is my latest attempt at an ad banner for the site; click it to see the full version, as always. I still like the “Emptyeye” font, and I managed to deal with the superfluous site address that was in my last attempt. It doesn’t have any cutesy anime characters, or any characters at …

Emptyeye.com Week 23- A Consistent Update Schedule
This past week at Emptyeye.com, I managed to post at least something every single day, and my viewership apparently liked this. Either that, or spreading what little promotion I do throughout the week increased said viewership compared to the previous week. Whichever it is, hopefully I can somehow maintain that, or even increase it over …

On the Run of 33. And 16. And 11.
With one week until I travel to Rhode Island to get absolutely destroyed in this tournament (Despite the topic title, actual cancellation of the tournament seems unlikely), I figured a fully DDR-centered post would be good. MAX 300 was the first “10-footer” in DDR history. 10 feet is as high as the DDR difficulty scale …

Emptyeye.com Week 22- New Songs Plus DDR Stuff
This past week at Emptyeye.com saw the release of a new song, which is easily my longest one to date, plus the associated bonus material that you can grab in the Into the Aether section. That was the main thing regarding what you saw on the site. Off the site, I’ve been working on other …
