Has A Portfolio

I registered hasaportfolio.com last night to go with my recent Tumblr portfolio theme. I wanted to give my friend's at SCAD an address that is easier to remember than .tumblr, because the conversation usually ends up at "How do you spell tumblr again?" "Why isn't there …

The Tumblr Portfolio

I've had this idea for a little while. I finally put it together today. I've seen people use tumblr for some interesting things besides tumblelogs for a little while now so I figured why not try it as a portfolio? Easy to update, completely free, and really flexible as …

iPhone Dream Apps

The iPhone SDK is coming. I'd be surprised if anyone with an internet connection missed it. The bad news is we've all got about 3 months to wait. The good news? We can sit around and come up with our iPhone dream apps.

The two I'm looking forward to the most: an IM …

The Feeds

Another piece of the new pixelspread layout and features are the new feeds associated. The original feed is still intact, if you'd like to just subscribe to the blog. However, there are now a few more feeds you can subscribe to if you'd like. As I mentioned before, I …

It's Brand New

I launched the new look today. I thought it might take a little longer, but I figured I might as well put it up now, and then spend the next few days fiddling with the code. So far the blog is completely functional, the XHTML is valid, and the portfolio is almost …

A New Look Coming Soon

As you may have noticed, my updates have been sporadic and sparse recently. Life's been busy, working on a lot of projects, attended FOWA this weekend. But I'll be back shortly with a brand new look for Pixelspread and I'll have some news as far as Turn Nocturnal goes …

It's been a week?

It seems like a long time since I've updated. I guess it's only been a week, but a busy week. Turn Nocturnal has been selling a lot of Huge Type shirts. We're actually almost sold out of our first order. We are ordering more right now though, so if you haven't gotten …

Turn Nocturnal Blog

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've launched the Turn Nocturnal blog at TurnNocturnal.NET. The store is still to gonna stay put at TurnNocturnal.COM as in .commericial. So check out the .network/community. And keep posting images to flickr tagged …

Huge Type Gets Ripped

I've seen it happen before, and I guess it's expected when you become somewhat successful, but I thought we'd have to get through 10 or 20 designs before it happened to us. That's right, the day after we won Tee of the Day on Emptees, I found someone trying to rip off …

Huge Type Is Everywhere

I finally got my see the Huge Type Looks Sweet shirts a few days ago and I was more than excited to start selling them. Since then, the Huge Type shirt seems to be everywhere. First of all, we won Tee of the Day on Emptees. The second Turn Nocturnal shirt do so by the …

Easy Drop Caps

Every time I come across a CSS solution for a nice drop cap, I never end up using it, because it always involves modifying your XHTML in some way. That's fine if it's some static content, but for a blog, having to modify your markup with every post is a pain, and just …

iPhone Webclip Bookmarklet

After posting my hack to override webclip icons by forwarding through your own site, Drew at Allinhead.com came up with a bookmarklet to do it without passing through any other site. I like his method better, so I thought I'd post some icons for faster webclip …

List Based Calendar

I've been playing with Tableless Calendar idea some more, and I've come up with something I think could be somewhat useful. This isn't a replacement for table based calendar. This is a simple way to add multiple views to a calendar, so you can view your events in a …

Override Webclip Icons

This is a little hack I thought up for adding WebClip icons to other sites, like Google Reader, Facebook, Twitter, etc... It's easy to create a WebClip icon for your own site, as I mentioned in the last post, but if one of your favorite sites doesn't have a nice one, …

Textpattern iPhone Theme

In honor of some brand new iPhone features today, I thought I'd release a theme for easy viewing of any Textpattern site on the iPhone. It's a little more difficult to put in place than a Tumblr theme, but I'll try to make it easy. Here's what the theme looks like at

iPhone Favicons

This is a quick follow up to my Textpattern iPhone post. If you'd like to create an icon that will appear on the iPhone homescreen, should someone make a webclip of your iPhone friendly site, the process is very simple. Much like creating a favicon, but for iPhones.

Huge Type Turns Nocturnal

I just wanted to let everyone know that the next shirt from Turn Nocturnal will go on sale in the next few days. The "Huge Type Looks Sweet" shirt will be on sale for $15. It is set in Trade Gothic on Black.

If you don't already have a Beware of Beard shirt, it's …

Tableless Calendar In Use

I prefaced the last post about the Tableless Calendar by saying that it was a CSS experiment. I wanted to follow up with how it might come in handy. Since the information is already structured in a list format, I thought it could be useful for switching to different …

Some Recent Design Work

I'll be adding these to my portfolio very soon, but I thought I'd mention a few designs I've done recently. First off I just finished a new one for tumbl.us. The style is the same, I just thought it needed a refresh. Here are the rest that I've done in the past few …

Simple Tableless Calendar

This is another little CSS experiment. This is an attempt at creating a calendar without the use of tables. Instead just an unordered list and a little CSS. You can take a look at the example

To get started, you've got to plugin the days and the dates in ul format. …
