“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Austin – Day Two
Had a pretty good day of seminars today. Everything kicked off at 8am with the conference opening up the exhibit hall which resulted in the "t-shirt gold rush" that conferences typically turn into. I came away with 4. Not bad. I was a little rusty, but I made out...
Austin TX – Day 1
I'm not really sure if simply getting here counts as day one or not, but we'll just go with it. We're all checked into the hotel and, as you can see, the wireless is working. It took a little under four hours to get here but the trip was pretty uneventful, as it...
HOW conference
This time tomorrow I'll be gathering my things and heading off to the 2009 HOW Design Conference in Austin, TX. Since it was so close this year I'll be driving up with a colleague. I'm pretty excited. HOW is the largest design conference in the country. It's like...
Predictable RAGE
It would seem to be redundant to say that GameStop sucks, but it does. They are, without a doubt, the single worst online retailer I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. In terms of actual brick and mortar stores, I still have a special place of disdain for...
Now I’m Sad
I checked my GameStop order today and it still said "pending" instead of "shipped", so I decided to call them. Apparently, they sold so many, they're now on back order. Good news is that they sold out of the "weathered" and beat up boxes, so I'm getting a brand new...
Rock your face off
I'm not really sure when it happened, but apparently I've gone bat-shit insane. I've made multiple rather crazy purchases recently, for no reason other than they would give me personal satisfaction. The largest of these being Rock Band 2. I couldn't resist the price...
E3 Impressions: Microsoft
No. I'm not at E3. I wish I was. Nope, just a guy watching all the press conferences and reading as much news as possible. I'm now post-live-blogging the Microsoft press conference. Post-live meaning that I'm watching it on my DVR after it's happened. Here we go. Of...
Movie Review: Up
Last night we revived a long held tradition in our house: seeing Pixar movies at midnight on opening day. We started the tradition on college with Toy Story 2 and continued it all the way until Cars, which we saw opening day instead. We've always been big Pixar fans...
iTunes Hate
In preparation for the release of new GreenDay CD today, I fired up the old iTunes store last night because I heard there were bonus and exclusive track available if you pre-ordered it. Sure enough there was. There were two bonus tracks (that can still be purchased...
Font Murder
I was just asked to change the font on all the brochures I designed from the always awesome, and completely contempory, clean and visible Gotham to Imprint MT Shadow. I'll give you a minute to check those links. The reason? They liked the "font shape" of Imprint...
