Playing With Blocks

January 1, 2021 by Jack Steiner Leave a Comment

I have intentionally avoided using the block editor because I haven’t had time to mess around and try to figure out if it is a useful tool.

But tonight I gave into impulse and started playing with Blocks. I think I kind of like it.

Testing Limits

I really need to figure out how to best use the shaded box like you see below as it offers some real utility. 

The ability to highlight and emphasis parts and pieces can be a great tool for telling a story.

‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love (people on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Under Pressure- Queen

I know this post is messy and lacks coherent organization, but I am going to leave it up for a bit because I want to think about it. I want to use it as a live sandbox to play in and learn with.

One Day I’ll Visit

Told SQ that one day I would agree to visit her city and that she could come to mine. 

Would make for some great tales and stories, oh yes it would.  In the interim check out some of my greatest hits.

P.S. I know there are some font issues in places and am working on fixing them. When you have 15 years of posts it can take a while to correct.

Please bear with me.

Design Changes

December 20, 2020 by Jack Steiner Leave a Comment

Still haven’t decided if I like the look of this joint and am thinking about some design changes but haven’t come up with any hard decisions yet.

Three days of work left before I take a small vacation and decompress.

Just might take some of that time off to work on things here. Just might dedicate some time to tinkering and devote some thought to making it sing as I wish it would.

We’ll have to see given the effort it took to reach this moment I might not have as much left in the tank as I expect.

Might crash, might not.

My heart aches and it soars all at the same time, so who knows what might be.

Will be interesting to find out.

Bits & Pieces

March 17, 2020 by Jack Steiner Leave a Comment

In the midst of the pandemic bits and pieces of the past, present and future are floating through my skull.

Got lots of little issues with this blog and the posts within, stuff that doesn’t look right because of plugin and theme changes.

Need to go through and fix those cuz it irks me to see so many hiccups.

Been thinking about a post I wrote long ago called I Hear Music and maybe doing something with it again.

Yeah, I am going to, not sure when, but I have a few ideas.

The Long And Short Of It

October 19, 2019 by Jack Steiner Leave a Comment

Wasn’t happy with the rough look to this place so I went back to an older layout and theme.

It is not perfect but it cleaned up some of the mess around here and for now that is good enough which is funny ‘cuz when it comes to this place I don’t like the idea of going off of good enough.

I want good or amazing but I can live with good.

Good enough sounds like I am settling for mediocrity and I am not.

That is the long and short of it, with much more to come soon.

Buzzed & Blogging

September 27, 2019 by Jack Steiner Leave a Comment

Well kids this likely to be a short post as your old pal is buzzed and blogging.

Sometimes that is a useful way to write more honestly or at least provide yourself with an excuse to write more honestly but I don’t need it.

I am unfiltered and when motivated can say anything to anyone, anywhere and at any time.

But sometimes you need to recognize the moments in which being that honest is likely to cause and or create issues.

So given that standard I’ll keep this short and say some things go up and down. Some go in and out. Some come around.

Time will show what and how it at all this story goes.

End of vague and ridiculous post.
