many moons

it has been a long time since i have made a post here on this blog. unfortunately, the frequency at which posts occur will not increase here. mostly because this blogging thing has become a bit of a "meh" thing for me. well, i'm lying... but not really... you see, that …

festival attendance

two-fer

monster 62's story went up late last night with monster 63's just being posted (imagine this post isn't some 45 minutes into the 20th).

i am seriously considering what it would take to get me to design ranch this year. my wife says i should go. stefan bucher even has a …

tardy tales

on feb. 6, 2005, i made a post titled super bowel. the 'e' in bowl was intentionally added to describe my thoughts on the year's commercial offerings (being that the super bowl is supposed to be the king of commercials). i thought i was …

herculean angel

wow... 4 stories i haven't posted the links to. man, i suck at blogging. used to, i would blog every day. sometimes twice a day. just to throw something new up. either i've become very boring or blogging isn't as exciting as the multitude of other websites i visit in a …

battle soul

what does that title mean? well, i decided to play a little experiment. at the beginning of generating this post, i selected to randomly shuffle through a personal smart playlist in itunes (songs with 3+ stars, limited to 60 minutes and no song played within the last 3 …

iconfactory is one of the kewlest icon sites around, pwning just about anyone on mac interface design. they have icons, desktops and even software available for your consumption. i was overjoyed to finally get a copy of iconbuilder and i dare say i haven't disliked a …

sxsw - day 01

friday is day one for the interactive festival portion of sxsw. so far, it's kinda boring. maybe because the actual "party" doesn't get started until tomorrow (all the panels that have the important people start saturday). i mean, this is just the sign-in/registration …

sxsw - day 02

day 2 here at south-by. much better. incredibly better. the panels are really working for me here. first one at 10am: writing, better. great tips, advice, general knowledge on what one can do to just write better. i really felt like i got something from this …

sxsw pics - day 02

none of these pictures are posting worth a damn. at all. so... uhm... just imagine the pictures with my ever so helpful descriptions of them.

me. zeldman. motorola startac.

the masterful, kevin cornell.

flat hicks. i forget why he couldn't show, but damn if this …

jay west (was actually last night while in line - staff photographer for sxsw)
dave amos
maximo stephani
emily pepperman
dan cederholm
john marstall
brian …

sxsw - day 04

some kick-assery panels today. i can tell, however, that the conference is winding down. they're starting to lose their luster.

i did end the day with likely one of the best experiences from the event: getting strangled by douglas sarine. that's right. a ninja. but not …

murder 3000

a quick post to talk about the new link in the sidebar over there. the one for iconbuffet.

i have been a member of the free delivery service for as long as i can remember the "service" being put into action. the fine chefs over at ib have since come up with a new …

young velveteen

while not officially a part of the motodiva birthday haiku challenge, i thought i'd slap some words together. using the subject of wikipedia's daily featured article:

with pashtun prowess
she attacks another year
not a scratch on her

smile athena

wikipedia's daily featured article really sucks today. but that's my plan for these haikus, so... here goes.

100 deaths

this past weekend, i attended the design ranch. i truly regret not going to any of the previous 6. a complete retreat/camp for designers; totally worth every penny (and a pretty one at that - for me). this year is my year of finally getting off my ass and being a …

i, heroes

so... the last time i posted, i hadn't run 3.1 miles for elvis loving taco eaters. since then, i participated in an annual 5k race put on by elvis loving taco eaters. it was my first "organized" run that i've ever done (outside of middle school) and it was actually …

my fortuna

iconbuffet is really kicking it up a notch with their new ibid feature. this little gem allows a member to display a good assortment of badges on their website/blog to advertise sets, profiles and even grab referrals. as you will notice, i have already included two …
