Change of Address

Time to relocate to a new haven of solace, vision and sound. Another difficult decision that will reflect more positives for the significant others in my family rather than myself. However there will be some selfish benefits to the move for me as well.

Behold, my old haven of sight and sound.

Cozy and and functional. But, I have lacked some elbow room and want to expand into other areas of design. With the new transition underway, I will be able to manage with a larger workspace and plenty of room for the miscellaneous hardware that some of my clients require.

That's it for this post. I'm going to be juggling these preparations for a little while but hopefully, things will proceed easily and without delay.

Updates and Such

Just finished editing some of the details in my online resume here to reflect my current status. New work and old work - all that jazz...
Time has been a little short with some things I can't talk about yet, so work on the JKen Media portal has been slight at best. There's been some user-error difficulties with establishing the new domain name as well as trying to decide the best way to proceed. Currently thinking about throwing up a splash page for the interim. Just to keep things rolling even if it's slower than I had planned.

Some new developments will hopefully make the delays worthwhile.

Laters...

The Superhero Me

The beginning of 2009 has come and gone. Now the past couple of months are nothing but the remains of choices and decisions. While it may have been hectic, I'm grateful for the hurried pace.

To start things off, I recently accepted a new contract with FUNimation. A lot of factors were considered before accepting this move and in the end, it was the right choice for me. I will miss my old crew back at Gearbox. Gearbox QA Rocks! Gearbox Audio Rocks! Thanks to them, I am coming away with a great deal of experience from my work there and want to wish them the best of success in their future projects.

This also concludes my excessively long commute via public transit. I would actually take the train to work nearly every day. It was an interesting experience, to say the least. As much as I'll miss it, my back and knees will thank me for it.

Next up, I have "officially" thrown my name (or something like a name) into the world of freelance. While this may sound formidable, it has a long way to go before full fruition. For now it is merely the statement of intention... and it doesn't hurt that I do have a little work lined up as well.

Now all I need is a desk... heh heh.

JKenMedia begins.
