Okay, I just picked up the new Beastie Boys album, To The 5 Boroughs, during my almost weekly trip to Best Buy. It’s been waaaay too long since the boys released something, and this is something. I’m about halfway through the disc, and I’ve yet to feel the urge to skip ahead, which is a…
Graphic Designers and Supposed Graphic Designers
I was reading a few essays at Speak Up, a graphic design community/publication, when I came across this essay (which was also published, in part, in inForm, AIGA Chicago’s Journal of Design), Is that a Graphic Designer with your Client, or are you just Happy to See me? (go check it out, and read the…

iTunes 4.6 and fair use

The newest and coolest electronics were always on my list to Santa as a child. Needless to say, I was a very expensive child to shop for.…
My Sleeping Issues
So, is it working that keeps me up late, or is it being up late that keeps me working? Yes, it is quarter to 4am, and I’ve finished up my mods to TalkTalk. Works pretty well over here, and hopefully it’s working on other browsers (it should… I’m using my pre-tested CSS and xhtml, and…
I am a code monkey
Still in the middle of being a code whore. Needed to try out some extra sections to see how they show up. These first few entries are a real snore, I know… but stuff it… I need to do them.
The Life of a Slug
Yes, I decided to come back and hack away at this nifty Word Press syndication system. It’s pretty damn nice. I’ve used a lot of different CMSs and Blogs and whatnot, and this is just crazy! It’s been pretty easy so far… then again, I haven’t begun to hack at the php and css to…
