I’ve collected a few favorite photos that I took during 2007 and built a slide show using Flickr. (Here are favorites from 2005 and 2006).

I like this Stockholm chair from IKEA:

Pardon our appearance. We’re doing a little remodeling around here. Stuff is broken. But it’ll be better soon.

Just like for 2005, I’ve collected a few favorite photos that I took during 2006 and built a little slide show. This time using Flickr.

As part of my job I’m occasionally asked to help fine tune and clean up PowerPoint presentations. I’m always trying to get the presenter to strip away the extra bullet points and Microsoft clip art. The following rules have helped me and have been gathered from various places around the web and from experience. I [...]

For the past 3 years I’ve been enjoying a renewed interest in photography. I purchased my first digital camera in August of 2003. As my photo gallery intro has said:
“For a time I was dead set against taking photos and liked to travel without a camera telling myself to just experience the moment and not [...]

I’ve been using this dropdown menu method for a few years now. It seems some clients and marketing departments love complicated dropdown navigation systems and as much as you try to dissuade and convince them that a more simplified navigation scheme would actually help their customers get to the information they want faster, they still [...]

I’m not sure why, but I’ve been amassing a bunch of browser bookmarks over the past few months for sites showcasing and highlighting cool objects and well designed things. It’s not like I’m spending like crazy on this stuff (actually, I haven’t bought anything mentioned on these sites…), but its great to see well-designed and [...]

I’ve collected a few favorite photos that I took in 2005 and built
a little slide show.
I’m using the SimpleViewer flash tool from Airtight Interactive. The gallery link will launch in a new window.

This article will show you how to make your own microphone pop-filter. A pop-filter is a small screen that goes between a microphone and your mouth to prevent sharp popping sounds (known as plosives) like “P” and “B” words from overloading the mic level and distorting. Commercially available pop-filters are expensive and can often cost [...]

I’m just back from a week in Vermont and have posted a few photos in the gallery. I was greeted with a nice surprise gift on my return - a Pro Flickr account upgrade from Mike Webkist. Thanks Mike!

I launched an update of the Dead Milkmen website over the weekend. I’d grown tired of the dark blue background and light blue/white text—like being in a dark and murky cave. I often found it hard to add new content or information that might need text styling without resorting to inline CSS and hacks.
The new [...]

Introduction
This article explains the process I used to develop a corporate Intranet site using WordPress blogging software along with the Apache web server, PHP, MySQL database and administration tools.
Our corporate Intranet was several years old and the design was based on our old corporate website look and feel. With the launch of the company’s new [...]

My portfolio section is finally built. I’ve amassed quite a few pieces over the years. Most of the work I’ve done for the past 7 years focuses on the web and web applications compared with my early career playing full time with the Dead Milkmen in the 80s and early 90s— my graphic design output [...]

There are some excellent sites out there showcasing contemporary poster design for indie bands, events, and performances. Listed here are just a few that I’ve found.
For posters featuring indie bands, two of the best are The Heads of State and Methane Studios.
Rene Wanner has a Poster Blog and also runs Rene Wanner’s Poster Page with [...]

I’ve added new links and a new gallery to my photos section of the site. There is a link to a new gallery of images from a summer trip to Vermont last year. Fungi - Norton Pond Vermont 2004 displays 16 photos I took on the last day of our vacation. While waiting to depart, [...]

Christine Barrie’s simple style is off putting at first. Looking at her series of lightswitch drawings might make you think she’s an outsider artist with little training and skill. Careful examination reveals more. Her folio illustrations and client list is impressive.
