<div class="blog-entry-body">
Well, its a new year. Close enough anyway. Five and a
half hours by my count, and with this new year I have
something to announce.
<br />
<br />
FINALLY after all the talk and ideas and time I am
launching my next step into the web which is in the
form of a brand new site called fifty foot shadows.
<br />
<br />
The new site will be a replacement to twistedsun.net.
Thats right, this marks the end of an era. 8+ years of
twistedsun will be coming to a close with this new
year. I feel as though it has run its course. Time and
time again I have wondered what I should do with the
site and time and time again I have found myself
disappointed in some way with the result. The new site
will be very similar in its content in many ways.
<br />
<br />
There will still be desktops published for everyone,
and there will still be music discussed and stories
told. The difference is in the name and the approach.
Everything will be centralized and brought into one
single blog space. Sections will be deviled simply
using categories and the design will be fresh, empty,
and easy to navigate.
<br />
<br />
I feel that everything around me is changing in my life
and so I found it appropriate to start completely fresh
this year. I am really happy with the new name and I
hope everyone likes it! It came to me earlier this year
while traveling out west and I think it is just what I
was looking for. At one point I really wanted to turn
it into a community of desktop posters I find that I
just can not devote the time into moderating such a
site.
<br />
<br />
My focus this year is in taking big steps forward and
changing the way I live it. Also, for those of you
wondering, no, twistedsun.net is not going anywhere. It
will be staying as it is in its current state for the
foreseeable future so everyone can get at all the
desktops and posts from the past. All new content,
however, will be posted on the thew site.
<br />
<br />
So with that said, I invite you all to come step into
my new home on the web <a href=
"http://www.fiftyfootshadows.net"
rel="external">here, at
www.fiftyfootshadows.net</a>
<br />
<br />
enjoy, and please, let me know what you think!

Hello! I am alive and well and have been trying to get
a post out forever now it seems. I finished my europe
trip and am safe and sound here at home again. The trip
shook me up and I have been buried in thought since my
return.
<br />
<br />
The reason for the non posting is because my laptop
decided to stop working for me half way through my trip
and although I have this computer I am writing on now
(mac mini) I am still not all the way settled into this
and probably wont be as I see myself getting another
laptop early next year after we see what macworld may
bring us.
<br />
<br />
In other quick news, I have decided that twistedsun.net
will be going through some changes in the new year. In
fact, I have something totally different in store. Ok,
not that different but more simplistic for me to use
and post to. The goal is to make it as effortless as
possible to post new desktops and news and musings on
life. It will most likely take the form of a new site
all together which I had other plans for but have
decided to simplify for the sake of getting something
new rolling along.
<br />
<br />
Don't worry, I have countless images for desktops and
when the new site is functional you will hear all about
it here and hopefully the transition will go as
smoothly as possible and the future is bright.
<br />
<br />
Thats all I have to mention here in this post, just a
quick hello and see you soon. In the mean time you can
check out my <a href=

Still exploring this never ending city. You can see
many other photos on my flickr page which I might
update nightly assuming I have internet access in other
places I visit. I will expand sometime soon on my
thoughts and whatnot for those interested so it tight!

Its been three nights here in London now and waking up
today I could be excited. I could be nervous. I could
be lonely already. Im not really sure what it is that
is stirring in my mind but I am getting ready to head
out to central london again to see what I can find
today. The last two days have been filled with people,
art, and sound as I walked and walked... and walked
around the city in various areas. Taking whatever
random turns seemed to look interesting. I figure with
all the trains around its hard to really get lost
because I can always catch one back somewhere familiar.
London has been interesting, familiar but distant when
I choose to really pay attention to the people around
me. Its strange though because I feel at home but also
far away. I feel like I have always existed here and I
am simply walking though some distant, forgotten
memory. Im curious to see what kind of differences I
come across as I visit other countries and break away
from the comfort of everyone around me speaking
english. Im wondering how I will react to everything I
encounter.
<br />
<br />
Anyway, as time goes on and the jetlag finally leaves
my blurry mind I will try and write more here in this
space as well as get some desktops up perhaps. I just
have not had the free time to commit to doing it. I am
traveling so all I have is free time but I feel like I
should be using that time for exploring and doing what
I came to do which is to get lost in the flutter of
local life. So thanks for reading and check back
sometime soon, plenty more to come...

Well, this month was a crazy one full of work and
planing and more work. There has been a serious lack of
activity here on the site and Im sorry for that, I have
just been that busy this month. It was all for one
reason and that is because I am traveling to europe. I
mentioned this before on the site a while back and the
time has come. I leave for London tomorrow! It's
strange, it doesn't feel like I am about to leave on a
month long trek through Europe. Im just sitting here
surrounded by all of the things I am taking which
turned out to be a surprisingly small amount of stuff.
Just the basics really. Sorry, my mind is kind of
fragmented at the moment after this month. There is so
much on my mind!
<br />
<br />
OK, on to the details. I will be starting in
London/England (arriving on the 23rd) and I will be
leaving on the 31st for Paris where I will stay for 6
nights. After Paris I will be heading south to Italy to
a village called Vernazza which is part of the Cinque
Terre and I will stay in that area for 6 nights. After
this I will head to Nice/Menton for a couple of days
hopefully but this depends on weather or not I can
arrange a night train from Nice to my next destination,
Barcelona. If all goes according to plan I hope to be
able to go directly from barcelona to a city nearby
called Girona. At the moment I am booked there for two
nights in an amazing little B&B and I may extend my
time there depending on how I like it.
<br />
<br />
From here I will head to Granada or somewhere in that
area of Spain and then make my way up to Madrid on the
21st and fly out of Madrid on the 22nd.
<br />
<br />
Sounds simple enough right? Well, all in all I am
fairly calm about it all and I am hoping that it all
goes smoothly enough. If you are in any of the areas I
will be traveling feel free to send along an email and
maybe we can get together.
<br />
<br />
Stay tuned to this space for updates and desktops along
the way. I will post photos on flickr (and here some)
the occasional text message to twitter (the hi-fi to
the right) and maybe a photo from my phone on my tumblr
page when I find hot spots around which I have no idea
what to expect really.
<br />
<br />
So wish me luck and the next time you hear from me I
will hopefully be safe and sound in London!
<br />
<br />
P.S - posted a couple new desktops...

A few days ago I came across a really interesting blog
service and jumped right on in. I have been looking for
something like it for quite some time. A simple
interface to allow me to catch images and links in a
really quick and basic way. Images that somehow stop me
from scrolling for a minute and get me to imagine,
think, or whatever else. The service is called Tumblr.
Its a basic blogging service with a slick little
javascipt that allows you to catch an image within a
page and quickly add it to your tumblr blog along with
a link to where it came from. It's great really and
will give me a place to come back to look over found
images for inspiration and whatnot. I think I will
eventually tweak the CSS and get settled in a bit more
but for the time being its perfect for my needs. I
would recommend this to anyone and everyone. If you do
start one up please add the link to the comments here
so I can follow it.

A handful of new desktops have been added to the
desktop page for your desktop needs. I know I have not
been posting as much lately and that is mostly because
I have been spending so much time getting my head
around this trip to Europe I have been planing. I have
narrowed it down to a handful of countries and now I
just have to pick a few places to travel to along the
way. I will most likely post more on that as it
develops. THANK YOU to those who have helped out with
their suggestions so far, they have helped me get some
key ideas in place which has been important. Please, by
all means, keep them coming.

At least I hope to be going. In October/November. SOON!
Im not sure how it happened but the time of the year
that I promised myself I would travel in is quickly
approaching and I am starting to get a bit more serious
about plans for the trip. I have been trying to get
used to the idea that I will be throwing myself in an
area I don't know much of anything about. It's both
exciting and greatly intimidating. I am working on
making it work financially and logistically and so I am
writing here for a call on advice/ suggestions.
<br />
<br />
<strong>I know there are plenty of readers around
europe or have traveled there in the past and it would
be greatly appreciated if you could take a moment and
suggest some places to visit, and maybe just some
general advice about traveling there.</strong>
<br />
<br />
At the moment I am thinking of starting off in Spain or
somewhere in southern France, heading up through
France, and ending up over in England. At least thats
the vague overall idea. It will be just me and my
backpack for the most part and I hope to do a good
amount of camping to save on money spent on Inn's. In
fact, thats the number one concern is working out what
I can expect as far as where to sleep and how much its
going to cost to do so. I hope to have the overall
layout of places to travel to before I leave so I can
work out train tickets and transportation while I am
there.
<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will be able to pull something off and
enjoy myself, meet some new people, take a few zillion
photos and have a great time exploring the area.
<br />
<br />
Feel free to mail me at john(at)twistedsun.net or leave
a comment here on this post with suggestions, advice,
or lend a floor to sleep on or just tell me I am crazy
for trying to toss together a trip like this in under a
month on a shoestring budget. Thanks!
<br />
<br />
P.S- new desktops soon!

I have stumbled across a couple of things I thought I
would share here just for the sake of sharing great
things. Both are software and both are free to you so
you have no reason not to check them out.
<br />
<br />
<img class="imageStyle"

FIrst up we have my new favorite screen saver.
Unbelievably simplistic, helpful, and gorgeous all at
once. Its a clock that simply shows the time. I know
that sometimes flashy oooooohhhhh and aaaahhhhhh type
screen savers can be fun but I find them distracting
recently. There will always be a place on my screen for
the ever wonderful and unpredictable <a href=
"files/hotel%20gadget.html"
rel="self"
title="t.s. weblog:Hotel Gadget">hotel gadget</a>
but for now this handy little saver has taken the
top place on my screens downtime. Its called
simply A 3M1T and you can find it <a href=
"http://flat-it.com/freesavers.html"
rel="external">here</a>. (mac or PC) I just cant
resist the font used for the numbers. What can I
say, I'm a sucker for simplicity. The site also
holds some wonderful fonts that you should check
out as well.
<br />
<br />

height="307" />
<br />
And to offset all of that simplistic thinking I present
something quite the opposite. A lush colorful and
undeniably addictive visualizer for iTunes called
Magnetosphere. Its pretty fun to put on during casual
music listening or for a break from the usual email and
work you usually might see on your screen. There is not
much I can say about the visualizer other than that it
is amazing and you should head over to the developers
site and download it or at least watch the video which
you can find <a href=
"http://software.barbariangroup.com/magnetosphere/"
rel="external">here</a>.
<br />
<br />
Thats all for now. I've go a new lens arriving soon,
more on that later. <img class="blog-image-smiley"

Banhart album and its amazing... ah music. love.
Anyways, enjoy your day!
