QN5.com is featured in a list of 40 Inspiring Blog Designs. Easy. I inspire LOTS of people. To hate me.

QN5 Music in the spotlight

chris rhee — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:28:43 +0000

QN5 Music is featured in the Spotlight section of ExpressionEngine‘s Showcase Gallery. ExpressionEngine is the software behind QN5’s new website. We use it to manage our content, update the blog, run our forums, etc.

This is the 2nd ExpressionEngine site I’ve worked on to be featured in the Spotlight category. Whoever decides which sites get added there, I thank you! As per our agreement, the bribe will be sent via PayPal tonight.

msfathom: They really have a reality show following the lives of meter maids & tow truck drivers on the job. What’s next?
chris: There’s still no web designer reality show. Apparently, being a web designer is more boring than being a meter maid.
msfathom: the idea is worth pitching to TLC.
chris:Nah. We have blogs. We’re too ugly for TV.

or: Is Chris Rhee broke, yet?

On this day last year, I quit my job. I am not dead, nor am I broke. Yet.

I’ll write a recap of the past year as soon as I finish up something new for QN5 Music. So basically, I can’t write about what it’s like not having a job because I’m too busy working. Ain’t that a bitch?

Before they sold a billion records…

[Paul McCartney] said he hated music at school. He went through the whole of his education and nobody thought he had any musical talent whatsoever [...]

One of the students in the same class was George Harrison [...] And nobody thought he had any talent, either.

So this one teacher in Liverpool in the 1950s had half The Beatles in his class.

And he missed it.
