I’m a web designer by profession and a couple of years ago I wanted to have a side-project just for fun. One of my favorite bands, Headlights, had recently put out their first EP and I, enthralled by the release, decided I wanted to make my side-project a fan site. “The joke is up” is the opening lyric to a song off of that EP.

I emailed the band, who are all super nice people, and I had all these grand schemes going on in my head about what I was going to do with the fan site, but as it turns out I ended up being too busy with my actual work. Ah well, so it goes.

The domain name sat unused for years with nothing more than a “fan site coming soon” image. Fast forward to today and the Headlights have a mighty fine looking site themselves, plus a myspace page, plus a virb page. All that makes a fan page a little obsolete. So instead, I’ve decided just to make this a blog. What about? I’m not sure, really. Music, bicycles, scooters, design, food, beer, bourbon, random YouTube videos… I guess we’ll find out as we go along.
