Theme of the website
(Topic, tone content, etc.) This theme will be of' Pro-personal interests. I've wanted to put together a website like this for almost 10 years! Thanks EMP.
" D’Tours", is an attitude for traveling through life. It’s a philosophy. It’s a heady place to visit. Topics that we'll cover:
* Art Galleries and thoughts from the artists. Tour a virtual gallery, see their work, and choose to look or shop. ~ The tone could be somewhat cluttered, interestingly so, much like an artists studio. ~ Content will have images of their work and interesting viewpoints about how they live and labor.
* The traveling side will explore the art of traveling: "Embracing the land and its people and being embraced back" are words to live and travel by. By following the D’Tours travel map, one will be able to trek across America, through a developing thread of ‘out of the ordinary’ locations to stay. Those who have the nerve to venture out of the comfort zone will find a great journey. They will be working and staying on these property's, visiting with the wonderful people that live there, sleeping in unexpected places and learning surprising things – about their hosts - and even about themselves. ‘Techno Hippies’ could be a connection-place for smart, bio-event and sustainable-living people. Sales and seminars would be listed regularly, Y-fy connection locations, tips & tricks for assisting the ‘old dog’ to join in on the wave of the future. D’Tours could also have ideas on ways to ‘Walk gently in the earth’. This old hippy goes techno. Yet continuing an appreciation of harmony w/ nature, and, the value of - often in getting lost to find things, is a necessary talent to obtain and maintained if one is to be good at it.

Design notes:
As I talked about in the Gallery idea, it will be cluttered in an interesting fashion. Keeping with crisp gray tones, D’Tours, Techno Hippies,… will be have earth tones, kind of like -vegetable colors: pumpkin, mustard, sage, eggplant…. creating an ‘earthy’ mood. Not sure of the fonts, though I’ve always liked the ‘serf’ look for any writing, otherwise I would use Comic Sands.
I’d also like to use a 'Rune' symbol somewhere: ‘Radio’ This is to reflect the physical and spiritual journey we’re all on. This character also represents transformation and personal development.
Ideas for flash animation:
I've looked at various flash openings on different websites. I think keeping it simple at first: Titles fading and zooming out to place, A slide show where pix change, maybe the subtle movement of a feather falling from one place on the page to another.
Ideas for Pod-cast:
I had an old idea for pod-casting former Honolulu morning radio shows I recorded, back then, to play in the car when I was in mainland rush-hour - it kept me many times from going nuts and dying a slow death in Chgo. traffic. Also, could be former recordings from NewZealand trail rides in '98. Anyway: here's the show (rough-draft) format:
