A site that I developed while interactive creative director at CHANGE* won an award in the 2007 TCIA Professional Communications Awards. Evidently, this is the premier award for marketing and communications for the tree industry. The entries were evaluated on their overall appearance, content quality, adherence to ANSI and OSHA standards, and their success … more

This is a pretty funny video calling Hollywood out for abusing the Trajan typeface. Trajan is arguably a good typeface though I’ll definitely think twice about using it now (unless of course I’m developing a movie poster).

Where in the World Have I Been?

I suck at blogging!
Before 2007 I used to post once a year. In 2007 I posted a few more times but only for the first half of the year. So why did I take the second half of the year off? I was busy. New job, new state, new house, can’t sell the old house, daughter had heart surgery, I got high … more

• This is a test that goes nowhere
• Is there anybody out there that doesn’t like free stuff? Blingo is a website that allows you to win things just by searching. The cool part is that it uses the Google search engine for all it’s searches but makes it one cooler by allowing you to win things....movie tickets, cash, even cars. Click to signup.
• I continue to be amazed at the props that my latest redesign has been receiving. Another gallery site that I frequent (CSS Remix) has added my site to their fresh blend of the best CSS web design. Thanks for the nod.
• My latest redesign (you're looking at it) has been featured on Web Creme! Check it out here.
• So I was pleasantly surprised to discover my site was featured on a few gallery sites. One being Web Creme, the other being The Best Designs. Oh, and the best part is that I didn't even submit them! Mom...are you responsible for this?
• Steve Jobs has released an announcement detailing Apple's efforts in becoming a "green" company. Hooray Apple, it's a step in the right direction.
• Do you ever need to find the contact information for your favorite actor, athlete, or musician? What about congressman, filmmaker, ex-vice president or nobel prize laureate? Now you can get in touch with almost anyone at Contact Any Celebrity. Reminds me of the time when I was about 7 and I called every Brady in the local phonebook trying to reach my favorite girl from the Brady Bunch. If only I had this then....would've saved a lot of time and pride.
• Silence can say more than a thousand words. On April 30th 2007, the Blogosphere will hold a One-Day Blog Silence in honor of the victims at Virginia Tech.
• I'm not a huge fan of flash unless it's used for the right reasons. This site for a clothier that makes Great Pockets™, is a wonderful example of an entertaining use of flash.
• This is a few years old but worth a look. Photojournalist Michael Clancy snapped some shots of a baby grasping the doctors hand during an in utero surgery. Definitely a powerful argument for the life before birth view.
