2010: The Year of Change…
Dec 31st
Welcome to 2010! A lot has happened here at ar/studios to promote the new year; for starters, the website has a brand-new look and feel and has been fined tuned to better suite the overall aspect of the goal of ar/studios – to promote my photography and eventual release of my digital 3D artwork on this website.
For starters, when you first came to my website you were presented with the latest blog news. For someone new coming to the website, this did not present the best picture. Instead, now you will be greeted with what is called the Home page, which will present a description of what each area of the website contains. This will hopefully allow you to navigate to the section you are most interested in then being presented with a ton of overwhelming information.
Secondly, the Showcase, which currently only contains my photography will soon be completed with all previous years work of photography content and will be updated to include both previous and new artwork I have done, along with launching a new feature that will allow you to download my photography/artwork as desktop wallpapers in various resolutions.
Thirdly, after much consideration I have decided to take a permanent break with my application development work. This includes all previous release and planned future releases of my various applications. ResumeHelper 3, version 3.2.1 will be released (though incomplete from the planned feature list) as a working version. I will keep both v3.2 and v3.2.1 online so you can decide which version is best for your needs. Please look for version 3.2.1 of Resumehelper 3 in the coming days.
I have spent the last few years playing around with various programming languages and releasing ResumeHelper, Planetweight, Calendar, and Mynotes and feel it has taken away from my real passion of artwork and photography. You will still be able to download all of these applications under the update page; but, only ResumeHelper 3 will be available as a download on the software page.
So with these changes I am hoping for a BIG year here at ar/studios with several planned new content additions coming throughout the year. Now, I do know I have said this in the past; but, since I am officially graduated from school, I can finally spend my free time working on some of my hobbies! So, please stayed tune to ar/studios throughout 2010.
And Happy New Year! Welcome to 2010!
Welcome to a Ad-Free world!

After a few months of trying out GoDaddy’s web-hosting services, and using their free service, I have decided that I like their service and up time and have moved over to their paid subscription hosting service. Not only do I get more space and bandwidth, but a ad-free website!!
But, if the ads were annoying you, I recommend using Admuncher, the best ad-removing applications out on the market today – and this comes from personal experience!!
Photography Showcase Opens
Apr 3rd
Posted by thollian in Photography
I am in the process of re-designing my entire artwork/photography showcase and I have decided instead of grouping photos by year, will now group them on a specific theme. The first two theme based sections have opened, the first called “Lights shining through Leaves” and the second section called “Colorado Mountains”. The first dealing with a series of photos I took of sunlight shining through a group of leaves, and sunlight shining down some bushes. The second with two photos, at this time, were taken from when I went to Colorado a few years back. Enjoy!
Weekly Update: April 1st, 2009 (No Joke)

I am going to be starting up my weekly blog update to give everyone an idea on whats happening around the website. For most of you by now, should have noticed a different start page for the last 24-48 hours. My intention there, wasn’t something that didn’t last to long, and decided it was a bad idea.
I have decided to go back to using WordPress as the central application for the website, and build my content around WordPress.
Look for this summer, some new Artwork, yes I said new artwork (has it really been 3 years??) plus new photography (yes, I mean it this time).
So stay tuned…
Site Updates – February 09, 2009

Well, the second Beta of the next generation Photography gallery is up and running. This newest version is built using Lightroom 2 and features a spiffy flash-based engine and a sleek user interface! Plus, I have released twenty-one new photos for your viewing pleasure! I am still working on the frontend that will present current and previous year content and will hopefully be getting previous year photo’s up as well. And I am aware that the software link currently doesn’t work on the main page. I am working on that webpage and will hopefully get it finished in the next week or so. So stay tuned!
