If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!You can read signs in the backgrounds. Take SportsCenter, for instance. The college football crew was in Iowa City and there were maybe two thousand Iowhiners (what do you call people from Iowa anyway?) cheering. And cheering loud. There […]

As many of you might know, I quit my agency job last week to take a position at Flying Dog Brewery. Not just a beer bottler or anything, I’ll be the new Creative Manager of said brewery. Today should have been my last day, because Bloglines has ceased to work on my G4 (single processor) […]

This just in: The China Bowl will be the first NFL-Licensed professional football game on August 8, 2007 (Patriots vs. Seahawks). This marks a time in the world when people are more excited about sports than, say, feeding people. Oh wait, that’s all the time.

Yesterday evening I was watching a little TV (yes, so nerdy on a Saturday night). First up, Swingers. A movie I can always watch. I watched from the “Is he brown? Let him in if he’s brown” part through the “What do you drive?” section. One of the tunes highlighted on the amazing soundtrack is […]

There’s a thread on the Yonder Mountain Yahoo Group about how many shows people have seen. The max is somewhere in the 100 range (as far as I’ve seen). I thought I had been to a lot of their shows, but it only ended up being like 30 honest-to-god Yonder shows. I guess I’ve seen […]

While shooting some product photos for a sports website I administer, the silver mannequin’s hand (accidentally, mind you) got stuck. In my pants. It’s not exactly my thing, but a friend said that this may in fact be the dawn of a new trend. I’m terming it “mannequerotica” (batteries not included). I’m sure I’m not […]

Here’s a pretty decent tutorial. I’d recommend using a small variety of brushes to achieve some better results.
Just wait for my Franz-Josefs to start popping up on Flickr.

As I previously mentioned, I won a kottke.org contest. I’ve received my prize - a 1955-1978 History of Rock and Roll poster from historyshots.com. I thought it was the best poster they offered. The other posters weren’t designed especially well. Someone should let them know that it’s ok to use some photography in their posters […]
