• 10.08.06 Home Office Improvement posted in Random Thoughts

  I don’t have a lot of general geek OR design interest to say today, but I feel compelled to post about what I’ve been up to. I don’t know why. But I’ve invested a combination of business money and personal money in improving my home office, so I’ll tell you about it. […]

• 09.10.06 The net must be napping. posted in Random Thoughts

  I’m bored. The most interesting news out of 150 stories on my feed reader in the last hour was about Microsoft’s new feed reader. Slightly ironic, but not enough to be funny. My hits are lower than they’ve ever been, even my RSS stats are low. There’s just not much […]

• 08.27.06 An Interim Post posted in Random Thoughts, General

  Whilst I while away a Sunday morning trying to get motivated to get over to the office to find my USB cable and put together a photo montage of my trip, I thought I’d make an interim post just to keep everyone on their toes. First things first, everybody should know about the secret cappucino […]

• 08.26.06 A trip to MCAD. posted in Random Thoughts, General

  So it’s early morning, in a relative sense. The sun’s up. I’m sitting at a picnic table on the grounds of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I’ve been here since last night, and I’ve run into a lot of old friends that are still around, even though I graduated […]

• 08.24.06 A quick one posted in Geekery, Random Thoughts

  I’m very intrigued by Expanse, a new CMS on the market that seems to promise standards based content management with AJAX functionality. It may be a dream come true for my clients. It looks to have all of the simplicity of Wordpress with more out-of-the-box functionality. I don’t think it will […]

• 08.24.06 A little news and some reviews and… posted in Random Thoughts, General

  I’m working on a new Wordpress theme for the site. I originally began with K2 as a base and started modifying from there, but there ended up being so many mods that I eventually scrapped it and started coding from scratch. I’m on my third revision of the code and my second […]

• 08.22.06 I’m sick of all these m**** snakes… posted in Random Thoughts, General

  I got a call from Chicago. It was my wife, who was standing in a coffeeshop that would give her 10% off her cup of coffee if she could tell them the working title of Snakes on a Plane. She asked me if I was near a computer with Internet access. […]

• 08.19.06 Shifting creative gears. posted in Random Thoughts

  It’s definitely a strange day, so it’s time for a strange post. I slept in today, which makes it strange to begin with. I didn’t even get out of bed until 7:30AM. Ask my wife, that’s pretty late. I stayed up last night trying to fix the contact form for a […]

• 08.05.06 Subject looks agitated, mildly disturbed. posted in Random Thoughts, General

  After DAYS of putzing and fitzing and bitzenflashensparkzenflyin, I have a copy of CRE Loaded running smoothly (for now) and ready to go live tomorrow. It was one of the worst website ordeals of my life, but one of the best clients I’ve worked with. He was beyond understanding, he was helpful. […]

• 08.04.06 Friday, at last. posted in Random Thoughts, Circle Six Happenings, General

  This is a photo from Averi’s latest album, Bricks, now showing at the Circle Six Gallery. Well, it’s been a rough week at Circle Six Design. 3 8-hour days of shooting a model wearing expensive clothes is wearing on all of us, including the extra hired help. And the model. But we […]
