The Denver Egotist wrote about Flying Dog’s packaging redesign, something I worked on. I got a nice little name drop. Just something to boost my ego a little bit. Well, it’s nice to get some recognition.

Ten-Four

There comes a time in every person’s life when they’re in dire need of a graphic designer. Sometimes I feel that, with the proper training, people could all be decent designers. Instead of some four-year institution where you’re really just taking a couple classes about design over a two-year period (at least, that’s how long […]

Coachella Music Festival looks great but their website fucking blows.

The Coachella Music Festival seems like a great festival, with acts like Roger Waters, Portishead, Kraftwerk, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Jack Johnson, and more.
Too bad their website is a fucking joke. Check it out for yourself. There’s no indication of the dates of the festival anywhere (except for some weird countdown to the festival […]

What is a bad answer?

This answer is at wiki.answers.com - I guess it makes sense not to trust everything you read. But I think that this particular bad wiki (that gets really good Google organic search returns) needs more experts. Perhaps I’ll get their graphic design question in order now. That’s my job as a netizen.

I’m about to be 50% more Creative (Suite)*

One of the things I’m like about my new job (well, 6 month-old job) is that my technical opinion is appreciated! The Photoshop CS3 beta that I’ve been using since December expired today, and I was given the green light to upgrade to the full-on Creative Suite 3. Looking foward to using Intel-native programs, since […]
