you saw the pretty picture, now skip to the short version below

Video

I always talk about making my own videos and animation but that is an uphill battle. I am a perfectionist & I don’t like leaving things unfinished. So if I think I can’t dedicate the time or resources to something, I don’t want to start it. Obviously, without the resources and time it will not be perfect. Also, I am very skilled at making excuses.

Anyway, in the near future I think it is time to revamp the video page. I made it over 2 years ago and now those videos look tiny. Hopefully, that will inspire me to create some more.

Grassy Knoll

There seems to be a slight increase in traffic here at sikkdays. As I have stated before, traffic is not everything. However, I have been thinking of taking on some additional authors so that you don’t have to solely depend on me for your daily fix of animation, memes and snarky comments. I am not sure if I should remain the lone gunman here.

I certainly have some friends that are more than capable of putting together additional material for the blog & I continue to meet a number of clever individuals online. Of course, a decision like that would mean I give up some of the control of my baby and that’s probably the reason I have not acted on this thought before. Bringing in new blood would also give this page a bit more diversity. Though, I am sure I could find someone just as jaded as me.

Weekly Features

Speaking of jaded, I am also toying with the idea of returning the weekly posts of Adult Swim Sunday & PMOG Link Monday. I quit Adult Swim Sunday for the simple fact that I had exhausted the clips on their site. Furthermore, the newer shows on that network hold little interest for me. I can only watch so many shows pretending to be a poorly produced public access show. Recently, it looks like they have added more clips of older shows. Yet, I could quickly get through those too.

PMOG Link Monday presents a different set of challenges. For one, it is not called PMOG any longer. Nethernet Link Monday doesn’t seem to have the same ring to it. The weekly posts containing links that I learned about through the game community were no different than the other posts here on the blog. I simply wanted to share the groovy-ness. Yet, making it a weekly addition to sikkdays turned it into a chore. I was spending large amounts of time looking for things to share, rather than stumbling onto it naturally through game play. Thus, I am hesitant to start that up again.

The Short Version

• Upgrading the video page soon.
• As much fun as it is to have weekly features, I think I talked myself out of it above.
• Should I add some more authors to the site?
