Portfolio Update!

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

I actually took the time to add some work to my portfolio. One handcar illustration, a holiday card, an auto calculator and a lead aggregator that I did for E-LOAN.

Colorful Objects

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

This morning I uploaded a few more photos from the weekend - my friend Nicci and I took a bunch of shots at the Ferry Building. We started a group together called N Squared, it’s really neat to compare our photos and see how differently we view things :)

Timelapse Daily Dose

Friday, February 24th, 2006

I’ve always been fascinated by how much a scene can change in a day, and this is a beautiful example of it - [daily dose of imagery] [fv] timelapse | tall reflection

Odd Animal Pairs

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

I love little stories like this - Willy the Hog Pairs With Antelope at Zoo - I think it’s just further proof of how other mammals have emotions and that they’re not so different from humans. Though it saddens me that the zoo will be separating them eventually.

Dick Cheney Shooting

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Do you think this is why Cheney didn’t want the shooting to get out… can’t take a joke?

I need this more than ever!

With my new commute to Alexa I’ve discovered all sorts of new levels of anger and road rage that I never new I was capable of. The drive from San Mateo to the Presidio takes about 45 to 50 minutes and the majority of it is spent dealing with morons who don’t know how to drive. My old commute was just as long, but it was a little smoother. I think that with the Road Rage Flip Book , I would be a much happier driver :)

What is Good Design?

“Commercial success plus bad design does NOT equal good design.” Amen to that! Read this article.

Snow Boarding

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

Vibrant Dusk Steve and I went up to Lake Tahoe to go skiing and snowboarding this past weekend. Steve skis and I’ve never done either, so I decided to take snowboarding lessons. I was doing alright for most of the lesson until one of my last attempts. I was facing up the hill trying to stop, when I unintentionally stood up too straight, which caused me to fall backwards down the hill. First I hit my ass very hard, then I hit my head just as hard. Later on I discovered a huge bruise on my butt.

I didn’t try again the next day fearing that if I fell on my butt, hands or knees one more time I’d just fall apart. Steve did well both days and said that the snow was great.

On our way back to the hotel Saturday night the moon was out and looking awesome above the mountains. I took a few pictures of it, but it’s never quite as nice as in person.
