Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
For a few years I have been reading posts by Chris Pearson over at Pearsonified. His site-design is less cluttered than many, thus making his articles easy to follow and read. Chris posts are always informative and teach old-tricks in new ways and in a different light. This may sound like what every one is... Continue Reading →
My IE6 Mouse Pad. Design also appears on T-shirt and Mug. I have caught the Zazzle-bug. Yeah, I have my own store-front. I';m slowly moving all my shirts from my Redbubble gallery (that are not related to photography) over to Zazzle. This was going to be just another shirt to put onto my Redbubble gallery,...

A little project that was given to... Continue Reading →
For all those web-designers out there who want to use their time more effectively, you'd enjoy these five easy things to do when absolutely bored. 1. Design a Better/New Logo I call this 'doodling'. With a graph-pad, a 2B pencil (with an eraser-end), a sharpener, no ruler (because that's for the final drawing), and nothing... Continue Reading →
There is an old saying that's often said by people when people beginning an arduous yet not nearly so impossible project: "Failure is not an option". For those of us of a less-cynical, more adventurous and self-forgiving attitude, I have refined this to a more positive statement: "Failure is a consideration but not a hindrance:...
