  • The Email Standards Project… Thank God!

    If the US government needs a non-violent method of torture to replace water-boarding, I would like to suggest email design.

I am convinced that all terrorist activity would cease immediately after only…

  • Red Ribbon at the Beach

    A straw hat with a red ribbon sailing in the wind at the beach is being held by my wife. We were in the Gulf of Mexico a few years ago, enjoying the white sands and blue-green waters. This photo would make an excellent desktop background, or background graphic for an ad. Contact me to…

    Black Ray Burst Wallpaper Here is a free wallpaper background I designed. It contains a dark gradient with rays beaming from left to right. I use it on a Mac to highlight my Dock that I’ve positioned on the left of my screen. If you download this wallpaper, enjoy. If you use it in your…

  • Present: pastโ€™s future

    pre-sent. This suggests that what is, became, as a result of something that has already happened. What you do now is literally creating tomorrowโ€™s present. What will tomorrow bring? Well, what did you send?

  • Myspace Sucks

    I think all designers would agree that Myspace sucks. A usability nightmare, Myspace is the perfect example of those money-hungry banner-ad-loving sites that cares more about squeezing pennies out of pixels than creating a sane user experience. I know they’ve got to pay the bills, but… they suck. Appropriately, Myspace recently got #1 on PC…

    One day while daydreaming as usual in a college math class, i made a list. This list was different from most lists because i never got past number one. I had been struggling again with stressing questions like: What should i major in? What do i want to be? What should i do with my…

  • Metamorphosis

    Change is constant and definite. To be is to change. Everything in the physical universe is changing from life to death. It is a cycle. The first half of all life grows, and the second half deterioratesย that growth. From positive to negative we fall. Unlike the outside world, however, the inner human man/woman can change…
