Welcome to my new site.

Many years ago I launched AndyGullahorn.com with a site I built in Microsoft Word. I knew nothing about web design so I was clearly a prodigy because the site was super-awesome. Many of the pages had a nice, warm wood panel background. I quickly became (in)famous for my web skillz. My original goal with the site was to get some real web designer to feel sorry for me and then offer to build me a site for free. It didn't take long for this to happen, but I kept getting feedback that "suckiness" was something people came to expect from my website and they would be upset if it wasn't there. So I kept going it alone.

Due to some of the limitations in Microsoft Word - not actually web design software - I decided to upgrade to iWeb when I got a new laptop that had that software on it. Once again people were amazed at my web skillz. But once again I felt some limitations. I wanted to have a way for people to communicate back with me. I used to have a message board for that kind of stuff but I never checked it and it was overrun by spammers offering some pill that would make parts of my body grow. So I tinkered around with Wordpress but didn't get anywhere. Then a nice guy in KY told me about this Rapidweaver software that was very cheap. I gave it a try and ended up with this new awesome website. I might find more limitations soon, but for now it will do.

The only thing worth noting is that I moved a few of my standards to the home page. The Haiku Reviews, Opinions, Writings and Videos are now entered as blog entries on the main page. You can now comment on them if you would like. Here are the descriptions of these categories ...

Haiku Reviews - Since no major periodicals are reviewing the shows I do on the road, I thought I would review them myself. The problem is that every show is pretty much the same as the one before. Sound check. Dinner. Play. Talk. Go home. Cry in my closet. Go somewhere else. So I decided that I would just highlight my fondest memories using some poetry. Warning: I don't always stick to the rules for Haiku writing. I utilize my artistic freedom.

Opinions - I occasionally watch movies, listen to music, stay at hotels, eat at restaurants, watch TV, travel on airplanes, rent cars and do other stuff. You know how movie reviewers get to watch movies for free? I hope that if I start reviewing all of these things, I will soon be able to do all of them at no cost. The rating system is out of five “Gullys” but I reserve the right to go below zero or above five if I need to.

Writings - Just some of the random thoughts that cross my mind.

Videos - In addition to being a pioneer in web design, I am also known for my videos. They are equally as awesome as my web skillz. Just watch and see.
