Serendipity

While i could definitely not be classified as religious or spiritual at all i have come to accept that things in the universe happen for a reason.  Some are good things and some are bad, but in the end all of them seem to lead to better things (and thinking) in the future.  Recently at work (i work for a large e-commerce company in Detroit) i was approached about moving from data management to the design team, coding CSS.  This was both exciting and a bit overwhelming to me, since my CSS skills were not “up to snuff.”  So i spent time studying CSS (which is short for Cascading Style Sheets, and basically are the “design side” of webpages.)  I watched a few tutorial videos and googled a lot of different topics to learn what CSS can do and what it can’t.  While i was doing this i was also thinking in the back of my head how this would be helpful for circuitse7en and our website.  So i started re-writing the site using a basic (yet extremely powerful) theme i had recently come in possession of.  The picture you see is the before and after of my CSS work on this site.  I doubt i would have been able to pull this off without studying and learning so much for work.  I really want to stress the point that things do happen for a reason and if we will take the time to stop for a moment and examine what is going on in our lives and perhaps learn a lesson or two along the way that life can be an amazing thing!

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Welcome to the new circuitse7en.com!  New you say? but this is my first time here.  Well then… Welcome to circuitse7en.com!  For those of you who have become regular visitors you may notice that things look a bit different than the last time you visited.  To start with we have done a major overhaul on the graphics of the site and switched a few back-end items around also to provide greater compatibility with ALL browsers/OS platforms.  We were very happy with the look and design of the old site however some of the technology we were using was incompatible with older browsers (IE 6 and earlier) so we decided to make some changes and went to a format that is web standards compliant and will look the same no matter what browser or os you may be running.  We also added some new features like the audio player in the right hand column so you can listen to all of your favorite circuitse7en tracks from any page on the site.  Have a look around and let us know what you think.

Greetings and welcome

Hello and welcome to the new circuitse7en site.  as you can see we have been hard at work rebuilding things and turning the site into a fully functional interactive experience.  We are also hard at work on your first full length CD and hope to have it out soon.  This blog will be filled with a lot of information: new songs as we finish them, art, maybe even a tutorial or two.  In addition to learning how to create an interactive website i have also been digging around in Propellerheads Reason 4.0 and learning to do all sorts of things that the software isn’t supposed to do  Well i’m off to do some more programing…
