Self Portrait

February 25, 2005

This was made using the “Old Guy-Mean Guy” technique and another photo of me from the Dominican Republic (it’s the only photos I have on this computer).

The piece is significant because it represents my first portrait with a non-round head shape. I also realized that saving these things in gif format saves a bit of [...]

Old Guy Pic

February 24, 2005

While messing around with some logo ideas for a possible client, I came up with this pic:

This was done in Photoshop. I basically drew a bunch of circles on different layers, outlined them with the “stroke” layer effect and did some choice “spherizing” to make things look less flat. It’s a nice effect I think, [...]

CSS vs. Tables

February 23, 2005

At the Barnes&Noble the other day, I came across this Eric Meyer book on CSS and skimmed through it a bit. ‘turns out, there’s this great big controversy over laying out websites using CSS instead of tables.
I’ve been away from the “web development scene” a bit since I started my new job last May. I [...]

Making the Blog Part 1

February 22, 2005

I created this website to give myself an outlet for my creative urges. I imagined myself writing fictional masterpieces weekly and creating scores of compiled computer games, all of which I would upload to this site. Well, that’s only partially happening. I’m actually encouraged with my progress. However, as is common [...]

W = Writing

February 21, 2005

I figured some of my writing pieces and whatnot were going to be too long to fit into the typical blog-post design. So I created a page suited for my longer-winded engagements.
I surfed through my trusty OneNote mess for a suitable piece of writing. The result of that search is the feature I present to [...]

I am a Money Grubbing Fool

February 19, 2005

I’ve just started an affiliate program with Amazon. To celebrate, let me post a link to Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever. This is the book I’m going to read next. I will probably sit in at Borders or Barnes&Noble and read it. If you’re not as cheap as [...]

Beauty is a Sunrise…

February 16, 2005

…on the beach…with a beautiful woman.
That’s a picture of me in the header now. I’m sitting on a beach chair on the Atlantic shore of the Dominican Republic waiting for sunrise with my girlfriend Kim. (links above)

A Sixth Post

February 16, 2005

So I needed to have a sixth post to test my “show only 5 posts” or “recent posts” function. I didn’t have to tell you all this. I could have just added a sixth post and written about any old crap that came to mind.
Well… I’m basically talking to myself here.
In other ‘news’, [...]

Just Some Random Crap

February 16, 2005

That ‘O’ in the upper right of this post-box stands for ‘other’. I think sometime today I will implement a function to make those letters link to a filtered version of the page. Clicking on ‘O’ would show only posts in the ‘other’ category. The idea is that people with different interests [...]
