Daily Brad, the blog

So I had a brain fart just now (a “brain fart” is a rather crude phrase for a random idea, but you get the point) and thought I’d put it in my blog. Goodness, unprofessional moment. I digress.

So I’ve been of a big fan of Twitter of late for many reasons. Though I do have my off days where I get tired of everyone talking and no one listening (remember Mr. McCall, no expectations).

I’ve not been active on my blog of late, but I have been active on twitter. I’m still putting together my personal opinion on twitter and formulating a blog post in my head, but it’s not ready to commit.

I’ve also been working on a total overhaul to my portfolio website. I’ve been neglecting it for much too long. (10 years to be exact!) I’m excited to get some of the work that I’ve done over the past few years out there and hear what you think. I’ve started and stopped the redesign of my portfolio site several times, and this time I’m going to make it happen.

A special thanks to those of you who regularly follow me. If you’re on twitter, I’d love to connect. (@bradmccall)
