In today’s mail delivery, alongside a CD I had shipped from Australia (the Australian Tour Edition of Sumday by Grandaddy), a renewal notice for my MacWorld subscription, and a copy of O Magazine (I swear, it’s not mine), I received something of a proof that I am not the only “different” one in my family:…

Pardon the dust
GregoryBowers.com is undergoing some remodeling in preparation for V.2. So if something doesn’t work… check the site. I’ll try and keep you fine folks updated. This should be cool when it’s all done. –GB
A Ford man is seriously impressed with Chevrolet
I noticed a quick mention of this over at mezzoblue (who got the heads up from Digital Web). American automative giant Chevrolet have just unveiled a brand new website, one that was designed in XHTML 1.0 Strict (the same “edgy” markup I use on this site). Not only was it done in a strict, standardised…
Real make hypocrites of themselves
As per my daily routine, I was reading Wired Magazine’s RSS feed headlines, when I noticed an article on Real vs. Apple. This isn’t exactly news to me, as I’ve followed Real’s desperate attempts to gain access to the paramount of MP3 players that is the iPod through any means necessary. Honestly, I’m not surprised…
I Hate Netscape 4 – V2.0
So, yes… I hate Netscape 4 with a passion. But, just for the hell of it (I get bored, okay?), I started up Classic and fired up my copy of Netscape Communicator. I guess you could say I was curious how a lot of today’s sites hold up in the archaic browser. Not surprisingly, most…
Now taking freelance work
Well, this is hardly good news. Several months ago, my friend Tyler and I decided to join forces (much like in Voltron) and form a small web-design firm. I had done work via my codeartist design pseudonym, and he had done likewise with his SugarHouse Design name. We settled on SHD as it had some…
Picture of the Day
This was just far to bizarre to pass up. I can’t really give much more information that this:
CHAU THANH, KIEN GIANG Vietnam — Tran Van Hay, 67, from Chau Thanh district of Vietnam poses for a photo showing his over 20-feet long hair that hasn’t been cut for 31 years. (06/22/04 AP photo)
Personalized Postage
I was reading Wired today, and they featured a story on Stamps.com and their new “personalized photo stamps” program, called PhotoStamps. As you can imagine, this could be either quite cool (and useful for us design types) or extremely cheesy and lame. I’m excited, because I can picture getting stamps made with my company logo…
I hate Netscape 4
For some unknown (and for that matter, unknowable) reason, there are still enough people out there using that curmudgeon of days gone by, Netscape 4, for me to attempt to make a site that looks decent in such an archaic browser. Or so people would lead me to believe. And so I try. And every…
When “Ridiculously Simple” backfires
A few days ago, I ordered a nice new firewire 800 card for my G5. The G5 comes with one Firewire 800 port, and two Firewire 400 ports (one on the front, one on the back). For most average users, that’s probably enough. However, I am not your average user. I have had two external…
