The Digital Home of Zak Winnick

I know I always post something like this, but I really have no idea what to do with this site anymore.

I seem to have a lot of time to actually do some work on it, but every single time I go to write something, I totally lose interest.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot about writing about music and movies. Kinda like a Zak on Films/Music type deal? I know I’ve started the ZaxTrax blog, and am moving it here to consolidate all of my sites, so I’ll probably incorporate something like ZaxFlix, although that doesn’t sound as sexy.

I’m also in the midst writing a screenplay. It’s my first one, and I have no clue what I’m doing. Sure, I wrote a couple when I was at CoC, but those were only shorts. This is supposed to be a feature. I’m scared…Someone hold me. If you want to check it out, there’s no website yet, but you can follow @RoadsEndMovie on Twitter or ‘Like‘ Road’s End on Facebook for updates on what’s going on with it.

Ok, that’s all for now. I can’t seem to think of anything else.

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!

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!

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.
