Alright.  Last time I posted was Sunday.  I know, thats bad.  I’m sorry.  And I know posts like this are even worse.  It’s just I’m running low on free time.  I have two current projects I’m working on, one of them being Stitches.  (Speaking of that, I want to have it released over the weekend, and that looks like a very reasonable goal.)

The other project is another pretty big thing, and I have to have it done by the middle of January.  If I had to guess, I’m about 1.34% done with it.  So, as you can see, my free time is just being eaten alive.  So if posts are a little scarce for the next week or two, I hope you guys will understand.  I promise big changes are coming soon.  I have a new vision for ForTheLose.org, and it’s not too far away in the future.  Bare with me.

In other news, I have a snow day today.  Can you say woot woot?

Happy Sunday guys.  For most of us, Christmas Vacation is winding down to an end and reality starts back up again tomorrow.  It sucks, yeah, and to help cheer you up after that depressing thought, here are some funny videos to put a smile on your face.  Hope you enjoy them.

The Milk Challenge

SNL - Cookies

Monopoly

Hardly Working - Darts

Well, that’s it.  The year 2008 is finally over.  It’s now 2009.  Not only is January the time of the year where you constantly make the mistake of writing “08″ all over your tests and crap at school, its also the time of year that people go out making new year resolutions.  I don’t really do that, but if I had to put one together, I’d have to say I hope that throughout the year, I start making somewhat decent money through my web design “business”.  If I could be making $500 a month, I’d be happy.  Currently it’s around $200-$300.

Anyway, 2008 was a great year.  It was the the year that ForTheLose.org went from a little nothing site to a medium-sized nothing site.  We had some really good posts throughout the year, so why not do a little recount here?  These are some of the best posts I’ve made throughout the year.

• Into Flash Animation?  Great Flash-Based Blogs
• StumbleUpon - Overlooked Traffic Booster
• Pivot Stickfigure Animator - Good Times
• Virtual Earth - Stuck in Google Earth’s Shadow
• GameMaker - Make Your Own Computer Games
• My 4 Favorite Make-Money-Online Blogs
• 4 More of My Favorite Make-Money-Online Blogs
• My 3 Favorite Design-Based Blogs
• Look For Coupon Codes Before You Buy Online

I hope 2009 will be even better than the past year.  A better looking site, more detailed and informative posts, a growing community.  Heck, if the forums start to take off at all I’d be ecstatic.  All this isn’t going to come without some hard work, so I better buckle down this year and focus on making ForTheLose.org the best it can be.
