New Design for Mitchelaneous
Things looking a little different today? Over the weekend, I was able to finish up my redesigned look for Mitchelaneous.com. Go check it out, and let me know what you think. This place has gone from being my own personal blog to more of a junk drawer of my thoughts, cool things I find and tons of geeky entertainment.
I hope you have enjoyed the evolution over the years and this new version of the website too. If you have any feedback – or there is something you would like to see me cover, be sure to leave a comment and let me know.
Thanks to you all, I appreciate all my wonderful RSS subscribers and website visitors. Without you guys and gals, I’d just be rambling on to myself. (I’m not, am I?)
Best of Mitchelaneous (2009 Edition)

It is that time of the year where every news source out there gets so lax in creating content, they can only muster up the strength to put together a year in review for this, that or the other. Never to be one to disappoint, I thought now would be the perfect time to join the masses and share with you your favorite things I have posted.
Here are the ten most popular stories, tips, articles and tutorials I published in 2009 on Mitchelaneous.com.
#10 – Instant Drama Sound Effect
My new favorite web site, when you need that instant sound effect action is DramaButton.com. Once pushed, you get that duh duh DUHHHH that has always been a favorite for the old dramatic moments on your favorite old TV shows and movies.

Happy 5th Birthday to Mitchelaneous.com
Firefox isn’t the only thing celebrating it’s fifth birthday this year. This very blog, Mitchelaneous.com, is also now half a decade old. As one of my oldest web sites still in existence, I have much love for the web site that really inspired me to write more.

Thanks to the powers of the Wayback Machine, here is the earliest layout I can find for Mitchelaneous (then hosted as a part of the lockergnome.net blogs). Actually, you could probably say that Chris Pirillo (and the old Lockergnome team of writers) played a big part in this web site’s existence.
New Layout for Mitchelaneous (Give Me Your Feedback!)
What have I been hard at work at this weekend? A brand new layout for Mitchelaneous, my blog for tech tips, web development and geeky entertainment. Based on the Press Box theme, I think this new layout is easier to navigate and read, but just as feature rich and useful as the old look was.
Go check it out at Mitchelaneous.com and let me know what you think!

Mitchelaneous Goes Black and White
The latest site of mine to get a re-design, is Mitchelaneous.com. The basics are the same, but I really wanted a black layout. I had never had one before – and well, hey it is mine, so I can do what I want. (hehe) Coming next month will be my four year anniversary of starting it up too.

Hope you enjoy, and if you just subscribe to the RSS feed – that works too. For those of you who go out of your way to both visit the site and subscribe to the RSS feed – you my friend, are awesome. Give me your feedback on the theme and any general thoughts you might have about the content here. What do you like, what do you hate, what do you want to see more of? Let me make you happy.
