Hello? Is It Me You’re Looking For?

Well,

It sure has been a LONG time since I’ve updated this blog.

I’ve got a lot to report, but I don’t think I’m going to share it.

For those of you that care, you already know what’s going on. For those that don’t, you don’t need to know.

With that out of the way, I hope to actually be using this blog more in the next coming days/weeks/months/years. I know I always say that, but this time I really mean it!

I’m going to combine a couple of ideas I had for a couple of other sites (Zax Trax, Surf Chaos, etc) and put them all here. It just makes life easier on me, and on you all too (one stop shop, you know…).

Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ve got some writing to do…

Bye, Bye Bit.ly!

So, in an effort to make this site a one-stop shop for myself, I decided to start my own link shortening system.

For a long time, I’ve been a huge supporter of Bit.ly, however in light of some new security risks, I’ve decided to keep everything on my semi-private server.

So, from now on you’ll see links starting with http://links.zakwinnick.com/ and then (more than likely) a custom short name. For example, the one I created for this site is:

http://links.zakwinnick.com/zwcom

So, yeah…Just one more thing from the team at ZakWinnick.com!

The Story So Far…

It’s been a while since I’ve done a real update on this site, so here’s what’s been happening lately…

- I’m going to start the podcast back up. I’ve got some really interesting ideas, and I need a new creative outlet since I’ve been feeling more creative lately.

- I’m going to start writing a weekly blog about music called Zax Trax. For those of you that follow me on the Twitters, you’ll notice I’ll usually post an album of the day with the hashtag #zaxtrax. I figured I like music, and I’m a pretty good writer/reviewer, so why not?

- You’re going to see a lot more posting on here (not just because of the podcast and Zax Trax). I think I need to start doing something with my downtime, and I’d like to use this site to help me.

Ok, so that’s all I’ve go so far. I’m sure I’ll think of more and when I do, you’ll read about it here.

Setec Astronomy.

Suck It, Parsons!

So, after fighting with GoDaddy over the matter of $80 (Luckily, I didn’t get shot in the back! Great Scott!), I was able to devise a way to get ZakWinnick.com (This site) back in my possession without having to pay out the ass for it.

My amazing web hosting company, Dreamhost, allowed me to transfer the registration from GoDaddy to them for free (That’s what I get for being a member since 2007). It literally took less than 20 minutes from when I started the transfer until the site was live again! Magical!

Anyway, everything is back to how it was, and now things should be a bit better on this end.

I’m very excited I saved $80 and I get an extra year on the domain for free!

Do I Sound Like I’m On Old Time Raaaaadio?!

Channel Z Logo

Oh Lord, I’ve done it again. I’ve got and started another podcast that I’ll probably never follow through with.

This one’s called Channel Z with Zak Winnick. It’ll probably be updated a lot since I think I’d like to stick with it.

It’s hosted by an awesome company called Mevio. It was started by Adam Curry, and it provides free podcast hosting. Plus, it’s pretty awesome to help get everything setup in the iTunes Podcast Store too.

Anyway, look out for the new episodes to be posted here on the site, as well as in iTunes. It’s being reviewed overthere right now, so it should be a couple of days. I’m not worried…

Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you on the air! (Go me…)

…And Now for Something Prolific.

Well, maybe not so much.

I’ve been struggling for some sort of concept of this site. I’ve owned this domain name for as long as the internet has been around, and have never really done anything with it. I always sit down with the best intentions for it, but never seem to follow through with anything that I plan.

Perhaps, now that there is a new chapter in my life starting, I should return to the basics and just start taking care of this site like it’s part of my (not so) daily life.

We’ll see. I need a new creative outlet like I need another hole in my ass (although, that would be pretty sweet…two assholes?). Who knows? Maybe this will turn into something cool. Maybe it’ll just turn out to be a complete waste of my time.

I could always blog about what I know…Technology, food, sex, dogs, movies. But everyone does that. Maybe my life is just fucked up enough to put a unique perspective on it. But, really…Is it worth it? Am I good enough? Smart enough? Do people really like me?

Who knows, and who cares. Look at the name on this site. It’s mine, bitches. If you don’t like it, there’s a corner. Go fuck yourself.

That’s all for now. I’m going to go home and sleep with my wife.
