Hi! Welcome...

I am kellydallen, a.k.a. David Allen Kelly, a web designer and developer who dabbles in music production and remixing. Some of my music productions have been played worldwide including by renowned DJs Sasha & John Digweed, on BBC's famous Radio 1 Essential Mix (by Carl Cox), and included on a "Balance" compilation (by Chris Fortier). Currently I'm working for the Palm Beach County Library System as lead web designer deploying and planning a brand new site with Drupal CMS. I also maintain the Library's Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter pages. As always, the views expressed on this blog/in these posts are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Palm Beach County Library System.

Who Is Jacques?

Jacques, the saucy feline below has come to join me in my new position as web designer for the Palm Beach County Library System.  For those that didn’t know or perhaps know me through the music business I’ve been working for PBCLS for close to two years now, but was just promoted to lead the entire site re-design and re-launch of the library system’s website.  Perhaps I’ll talk about it a bit here, or perhaps I’ll be so frantically busy that I won’t be heard from on this blog for another year (as is the trend recently).

Jacques is another story for another time, but is pictured here.

Doing the Limbo in Purgatory

Still in limbo on a lot of fronts, e.g. musical work, website mischief, etc.  I decided to let the whenaissance.com domain lapse because I simply didn’t have time for it at the moment.  I still think it’s a stellar idea, so perhaps some day it will again be a possibility, but there’s just too many other things (that are admittedly less fun) that take a higher priority right now.

Working 40 or more hours a week is a chunk of time, but on top of that I’m trying to work toward an MFA in Creative Writing (and have a loong way to go) so only time will tell if I get a chance to put anything together musically and/or website related.

I have been listening to a lot of music lately, but the dancier stuff still often leaves me flat.  Much of what I’m enjoying is fairly commercial in nature, but still quite good.  Rediscovering Portishead a bit with their new upcoming third album soon, which I have heard, and perhaps I’ll post about it soon.  Also listening to a lot of Marsmobil who I think are fantastic.  And, as always, much Ulrich Schnauss.

Until next time.. ..  ..

The Periodic “I’m Still Here” Post

Yes.  Still Here.  Still resisting the temptation to unleash my abilities in the service of good, bad, or both at the same time (no, I’m not bisexual – this is all theoretical).

Perhaps at some point.  Or at no point.  Or at a continuum of points.

Or perhaps a combination of the three.

But I’m still here.
