Eleven years.
Twenty-seven versions.

There’s more to come on this page, I swear. I just haven’t thought of it yet. ^_^; For now, take a gander at what I used to write. If it isn’t much different from what you see now, don’t be alarmed, I’m just intentionally writing that way now.

Posts of Avalonstar's Past

  • Rolling Your Own Honeyfund

    This is the story of a guy and a wedding. In particular, this is about honeyfunds or honeymoon registries that allow your guests to buy you experiences in China rather than some china. After finding out that the existing options available weren’t fitting the bill, he set out to build his own for his wedding website.

  • On Weddings and Websites

    This is the story of a guy and a website. But this isn’t just any website. It’s Ren.ai, his wedding’s website. In the first of hopefully a couple of posts about his journey as a wedding designer, he’ll take you through the journey of building out one of his best, but hardest projects.

  • Music & Morning Musume

    This is the story of a guy and a presentation. Said guy was given the chance to present about Japanese idols, Morning Musume and Hello! Ranking for the first time and he took full advantage of said chance. It was the first, the best and hopefully not the last chance he gets to present on the subject.

  • The Ballad of the Takoneko

    This is the story of a guy and a job. Said guy hasn’t had a full-time job for some time, but considering the company that offered, he couldn’t refuse. Today marks his first day at this new job, in which he introduces the Django Pony to the Octocat.

  • The Re-Designer
