Back at it

Due to technical and health problems, I haven’t posted anything for a while. I’m back, ready to get with it again. I’m busy working on a new idea – a website filled with contend related to salami. I’m going to pick a salami each week, then do several small videos about it. I’ll also put up some written content about the history of salami and other relevant information.

Salami is kind of a silly idea, but I think it will be fun. I need to get my feet wet with all this web technology. Many moons ago I built websites from scratch. I taught myself HTML and studied useability to make decent looking websites. But that was then – now the web is different. Videos, RSS, blogs. There are so many things a website can offer today that simply weren’t possible just a few years ago. Amazing.

So salami is my reintroduction to the internet. It scares the pants off me. I’m also very excited. I took some practice videos today and I spent a couple hours reading about salami. I also visited www.volpifoods.com, an artisan salami maker in St Louis. Their Rose Salami, Recipe No 7 will be the first salami I sample.

I love to eat. In the past year I’ve retooled my diet to cut out fat, sugar and most processed foods. Building a website based on salami is a little odd, but I certainly won’t be inhaling large quantities of it, so I think I’ll be fine.
