Scott VonSchilling.com

So what’s the point of Scott VonSchilling.com?

Originally it came about shortly after I graduated from college, got a full-time job, and moved out of my house. My new job had me finally working with modern Web 2.0 technology and programming languages, so I wanted to use it to make my own unique and fancy homepage. Bought my namesake domain and programmed an aggregate of my twitter and flickr account.

But then a few months later, I turned my attention towards my anime blog, The Anime Almanac, and completely left my namesake domain alone. Around April of last year, I dug up my old PHP code to the original site and adapted it to Anime Almaanc the Live, a Twitter aggregate involving multiple accounts.

But after a year of working on the anime blog, I did a vanity search on me using Google and found that the only information it returns relating to me is about my work on the Anime Almanac. But writing about anime is not what I do for a living, it’s just my side project. I’m a software developer first and foremost, and so I ultimately need a professional homepage to show the world who Scott VonSchilling really is.

So away with the old aggregate site and up with the brand new Scott VonSchilling.com. But what should I put up on it? Just having a page with a bio, resume, and links would be too boring for a Web 2.0 being like myself. That is why you now see a new personal blog occupy this space.

I think that I end up listening to the Philadelphia rap and r&b radio station more than any other station during my daily commute. It’s probably because it’s the station with the least amount of commercials during that time. But what sucks is that I hate rap and r&b, so I’m able to recite all the words to the latest Flo Rida, TI, or Lil Wayne joint without actually being a fan of them. By now, I have become well aware of Shorty and all of her sexy moves on the dance floor, since every damn artist on this station likes to talks about her.

But there is finally a song that’s been popping up lately that I love to death. Kid Cody’s Day N’ Night is just so mellow and catchy that I end up blasting it every time it comes on the radio.

It’s been getting pretty popular lately. Hopefully this leads more interesting rap and r&b music and less about Shorty.

I love to see Eminem go back to skewing pop culture, but man, this song just sounds awful. (-_-;)
