“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...NCIDQ
A big giant congratulations party is in order for Lauren, who just found out this morning that she passed her NCIDQ exam and is now and will forever be a fully licensed and professional designer. The NCIDQ is a long, stressful and extremely hard test that designers...
Pownce
By now, most of you will have heard of Twitter. That horribly slow, painful to use "instant-mini-blog" piece of internet 2.0 bloat that everyone seems so attached to lately. Essentially IM, only slow and unfriendly, Twitter makes mini-blogs out of "what you're doing...
The great American novel
Anyone ever wanted to write a novel? I have, on a daily basis, been thinking about doing just that. Something about spies, black-ops, explosions, that sort of thing. In case you haven't noticed the "Now Reading" sidebar, I'm on a bit of a spy/thriller novel kick. I...
Still broken
Apparently, even with an upgrade for K2 and a plugin problem workaround, it's still horribly mangled. Since the developers of K2 have moved on to other things, so shall I. I guess this kinda forces my hand at yet another redesign. Something a bit more compatible with...
Bad day
It's one of those days. Apparently, upgrading to WP 2.2 breaks the K2 theme and all of it's goodness. Nice.
You know what my problem is…
Don't answer that. My problem is that I read sites like StyleBoost, CSS Mania and Light-On-Dark way too much. As someone who doesn't so much "design websites" as "tinkers in Photoshop", it's really hard to see all the great styles and ideas out there and then try...
Cooking for Geeks: Lesson 1 – Ribs
Today we're going to try something a little different. Today is the first installment of a little How-To series I'm going to call "Cooking for Geeks". The common misconception about geeks, like myself, is that they're not "manly men" and certainly not fit to man a...
Undisclosed Locations
In case anyone is wondering why I haven't posted in a while, I can rest the blame squarely on work. Two weeks ago we were shooting the Texan cheerleaders. Last week, marathon retouching of said photos. This week, more cheerleaders. As I'm typing this, I'm sitting on...
The 9th
I wanted to talk a little bit about something that was bothering me on the way home from work tonight. Allow me to be serious for a moment or two and then I promise it'll be right back to t-shirts and video games. What was bugging me were the things that a certain...
Geek Wear
I have a vast collection of geek apparel which I enjoy and wear proudly whenever possible. Some of my older t-shirts have seen better days and, quite frankly, I could use the wardrobe update. I've been given the ok to get myself stocked up on awesome t-shirts for the...
