I recently wrote a little love letter to my dear friend, OmniWeb, regarding my inability to (easily) subscribe to RSS and ATOM feeds in an external, standalone feedreader (such as Vienna). Sure, OmniGroup have built in a bookmark-based feedreader (of sorts) into OmniWeb. That’s fine for a casual feed user, but my needs are far…

Version Three
Okay, so I promised to go more into depth on version three of this fabulous site. It’s 2:30 (which is 3:30, really, because day light saving just switched) and I just returned from a Halloween party, so I’ll take a few minutes and say hey and explain why this site is such a big deal.…
Define Irony…
As some of you may already know, I’m planning a move to Seattle this fall, and as such, I’m researching potential jobs in design in the area. I’ve been told that Amazon is a great employer in the the region, so I pointed my browser toward their aptly titled Careers section (well, somewhat titled… the…
I’m an aussie, or I’m cheap
I just partook in a very fair-dinkum aussie meal that I’d forgotten about since moving back from melbourne: Baked Beans on Toast. Hells yes. That was tasty and cost me about 50 cents. Useful, especially since I’m freelancing again. Oh yeah, I’m in the process of designing three new sites: Jessica White Photography, magneticcandy (initial…
Yikes.
My fav little guy Andrew White (my sister’s only child) is going in for surgery next wednesday. He’s only 14 months old, but his short life has been full of pain and health problems, and now they are telling us he needs to have a cyst removed. I love this lil dude to death so…
Flood
I haven’t written in a bit, so here’s a really brief recap: Work is busy, as always. The weather is getting better, though you never know with Utah. My 25th birthday is this friday… My basement flooded due to poor rain gutters (rental, what can you do?) and massive amounts of melting snow. Many old…
Happy Australia Day
So, I’ve been pretty bad the past few years, forgetting Australia Day completely until like a week later. Luckily, I saw a wikipedia entry on Tim Tam Slams today, which flipped a switch in my brain, sending me searching for the date of Australia Day, which I knew was this week. Lo and behold, it…
Doug.
Hold your horses, guys, this post isn’t about this Doug, as cool as that may have been (maybe later). I’m speaking about Doug Smith, and more specifically his, ahem, Autoplex. You see, after a couple of years with my beloved Mazda6, I decided that sliding in the snow up in Park City wasn’t nearly as…
iSkin
I hold the protective cases made by iSkin in very high esteem. I’ve had them on my last two iPods, and they’ve performed admirably. The same, however, cannot be said of the company’s online store and shipping department. My first purchase of an iSkin (and evo1, i believe) was through a third party online store…
Driving in a Winter Terrorland.
Oh. My. Good. Hell. Ladies and gents, allow me a moment to paint a mental picture for you. Imagine, if you will, that you have a job in another town, one not all that far away, but, ahem, on the other side of a mountain or 12. This job is great, with co-workers you enjoy,…
