Tea time

I haven’t posted for a while… Walked to the gym, and got here a little early. Time for an inspirational cup of tea, because I’m growing up to be an old lady.

Peanuts

I can’t believe how many names I have forgotten. Maybe, it’s time to do something Peanuts related…

MineCraft: Island life

So, there was a very cool MineCraft update… Villagers, and towns! The only bad part was, the villagers were all dicks. So I built a boat and sailed off to find better neighbors. I sailed for about 4 days… and saw some pretty cool stuff, but no villages. I kept sailing, and sailing… there should [...]

Escapism.

For everything there is a season. I have left the world of advertising, and have gone client-side. Although I loved the teams I worked with (and free candy from Wonka) all things must end.

Make your own fonts

From now on, we make our own fonts… Where dynamic text meets PhotoShop design text only the Kerning for the font is a nightmare as the “T”,”A”,”V”,”W” aren’t kerned properly and either smear against neighboring letters or create wide chasms of empty space. I suggested, that next time we visit: http://dafont.com Where the fonts run [...]

Under the Line

This is my 80′s style police drama pitch. Midget Police Detective “Jon McSlaughter” has been pushed too far… The following is the plot-line for every episode in Season 1.

New Toys!

Got some new goods from down the street. I’m trying a different set of tools out. Yes, I spent way too much money on art stuff, but it’s art stuff, and that is never cheap.

Powersports (non-sexual)

Honda, baby! So now I am working on Powersports.Honda.com – Here is a screenshot (my stuff isn’t live yet) And with more work comes less computing power. So now that my work load has doubled, the powers that be have wisely decided to take away one of my computers (I got to choose, so I [...]

Rental Car!

Prius in the shop! As you know Priuses are hybrids, meaning they run on gas when they are not running on unicorn farts and baby wishes (I’m low on unicorn farts). So I have a rental.

Inspiron Mini: Hackentosh?

My little writing computer came in the mail today. I haven’t used Windows since Vista… where I almost immediately said “time for a mac”. Now I have my little 10″ Dell with Windows 7. I must say I am having a very hard time with the lack of… love? Microsoft always acted like it didn’t [...]

Clowinging with KenDo

Circus Themed gallery show in down town. On of my favorite artists and long time friend Kendo  was showing in the front and back rooms.

AS2: Stuck in developement hell.

I started coding flash with Flash 3 (before ActionScript). It is a few years later, and we have evolved from ActionScript 1.0 (1999) to ActionScript 3.0 (2006) and I have been reading about ActionScript 4.0 for over 2 years… However, it looks like for what I do, I will be stuck in ActionScript 2.0 for [...]
