Here is a video I made and posted to my Youtube channel last night, talking about this awesome new site. It's titled, "Green October for Comicbooked.com!" (Green October is my alias there)

5/13/10 You may have noticed since yesterday some changes in appearance here @ DJGinsberg.com. Please don't be alarmed;it's just me experimenting with the look and feel of the site and adding some new imagery I've been tinkering with in GIMP image manipulation program. It should take me a few days/weeks/however long, but I am going for a more streamlined look at this site, utilizing all the page design tools I am offered here at this Microsoft Small Business hosted site.
Lately as I have mentioned, I've been playing in Second Life (SL), djing here and there, doing sim security for SPA (Spider Protection Agency, page to be added here soon), and roleplaying within the City of Lost Angels and CCS community (Community Combat System -- visit a recent page I created about it 'here').
I have experienced a recent setback in being 'fired' from the Collective mercenary faction of CoLA I was having fun playing with, but with the extra free time, I got inspired to do the tweaks I am now doing here on my site. Apparently, the group is run in a 'clique' way, and my being a newer member with fresh ideas apparently didn't vibe well with some of the members who claimed 'Seniority' over me. I know some people use the CoLA environment for acting exercises of some of the darkest natures of mankind, but I enjoyed playing more of a polite pirate type, as it was made clear in my Collective recruitment interview that I would -not- be required to go on bounty missions where any friends of mine were on the hitlist.
Please forgive me for posting news of this here, if any of the Collective members who may be reading this feel 'insulted,' but I assure you, I did not post this on any of the official factional/ccs forums, only here in the News area of my personal site, which recieves much fewer hits relatively speaking than the forums, and soon enough it will be yesterday's news anyway (please see my 'Blog' for permanently displayed writings by me). *The Author smiles and nods thoughtfully.*
So, regarding the tweaks to my site, I will be focusing a lot on the graphical look of the site, now that I have been practicing with GIMP for a while and am chock full of ideas; and more music is of course on its way. Recent additions to this site are: an area where you can listen to my dj stream on 'DJGRadio,' an area where you can view my gigging schedule and teleport directly to my gigs on 'DJGLive,' and a new page devoted to the 'CCS' community combat system I play with in Second Life.
Again, the changes shouldn't take too long, and hopefully the look of DJGinsberg.com will be set in stone by the time the changes in Fantasyland at Walt Disney World are finished sometime in 2013.
10/11/09 I've been playing and Djing in Second Life (SL)… which if you are not familiar with, is an amazing expansive virtual world, where you can find homes, towns, cities, and even clubs and live music venues. It has its own economy based on the Linden Dollar, which can be used to customize your physical representation (avatar), and buy homes, services, building materials, et al. I love RPing in the City of Lost Angel's zone there… it's a ton of fun.
I'm beginning to study PHP, a scripting language often used to build web forums and social media sites… hoping to upgrade in a streamlined way this my homepage, DJGinsberg.com. I'll keep you updated on my progress.
