yes you read that right.
my personal site DesignByRaul.com is almost finished.
i don’t have a set launch date yet but it should be very soon.

i had so much going on in the past few months that i didn’t have time to work on my site.
i originally had a planned launch date of early Spring 2009 but that didn’t happen.

i think it was mostly due to the fact that i was going for a complex site design powered mostly by JavaScript but seeing as im new to the more advanced techniques of web design
i couldn’t quite pull it off.

but this time around i decided to go with a simpler and cleaner design which has been finished.

it’s all going to be HTML and CSS and i should be done with the coding fairly quickly.

to see my progress on the site and previews of new projects im working on
you should follow my updates on Twitter!

I can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than a minute.

My fastest time was 41 seconds.

I have a great sense of humor. I find humor in everything. I'll even laugh at the most childish things. People tell me that I have the best sense of humor possible.

I'm a Typophile. Which means i love Typography.

I have a large collection of fonts on my computer totaling at 3000+

I have so many fonts that i can recognize and name the fonts just by looking at the letters.

I have a weird habit that wherever i go, i always try to name every font i see.

I'm ADDICTED to this game called Stepmania. Its basically a DDR clone for PC.

Cosmic Brownies + Hot Cheetos Puffs + Tampico Orange Juice + Easy Mac = Happiness.

I am a self taught Guitarist of 8 years and a classicaly trained Pianist of 5 years.

Good to here
Thats a good thing to do, to get the hang of Dodge and Burn, can be used for lots of things, thay are awesome tools

Tip: When using Dodge and Burn, make sure you always start off with ( off set colours
) You can't dodge and burn pure white or black

Send me a message or something, if you make something out of this, would like to see it

Thanks again
Craig

Someday, I will break the ice, that's what I'm saying, cause dancing's what I love, too high, can't come down, center of attention, feels like the crowd is saying "You wanna piece of me?", another day, another drama.
