After reading Keegan’s post about the great deal to be had over at Dreamhost on their Crazy Domain Insane package, I decided it was time to move this site to it’s own domain.
If you’re interested in signing up for the hosting deal yourself, just head on over to Dreamhost and signup for the Crazy Domain Insane package and during Step 5 of the signup process enter the promo code 777, you’ll get a years worth of hosting (including Ruby on Rails support) for only $9.24. It’s an amazing deal.
Having said that, before too long, From Away will be moving over to Dreamhost’s servers and will be residing on a new domain. My portfolio website will still remain hosted at A Small Orange for the time being. This is something I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time and this deal finally got me moving.
By the time the site is settled in it’s new home, the design also will have received a little bit of a tweaking, so stay tuned. There are exciting things to come!
On a side note, I want to wish a congratulations to Jeremy, who is getting married next month. Stop on over and leave your best wishes if you get a chance.

Over the past week, I’ve received an insane number of emails from people asking me where they can buy one of my skateboards. I haven’t actually had any of my designs printed since I started dabbling in skateboard design, but this steady flow of emails has got me seriously considering start to have some of them printed up.
Skate Or Die
Skateboarding seems to be still going extremely strong and isn’t showing any signs of slowing up. I think that there is definitely potential in the market for my board designs to be (at the risk of sounding a bit egotistical) a big hit. So the question is: If I do a run of boards (1 design) would there be demand enough from the people out there that I wouldn’t end up with a ton of extra boards kicking around my house? Also, if I do get a bunch printed, which design is the most popular amongst
those that I’ve published?
I’d really appreciate as much feedback as possible from those that visit this site, especially those of you that are arriving here after checking out my board designs, or those that Google has directed here. If you have any questions you’d like answered privately, please don’t hesitate to use the contact form for this site, or over at Jeff Smith Designs, or even send a good ol’ fashioned email to skate@jeffsmithdesigns.com.
FYI: All of my board designs are located here.

I was sitting here this afternoon listening to iTunes and wishing that there were more alternatives to posting what I’m listening to on this site. Then, coincidentally, reading through my RSS feeds I found this post by Jeremy regarding the same subject.
If anyone has any less memory hogging alternatives (Mac based, of course) for posting currently playing iTunes tracks to a website (other than iTunes Watcher, KungTunes, etc.), please leave a note in the comments…
