Just to give an update. I’m nearing the completion of my new “brand” style—can you tell I work in marketing? As soon as that’s complete, I’ll give this site a new look and structure. I’m billing it to be a place for my photography and design portfolios as well as any postings about my music. Also, the blog will have topics associated to said activities.
I should have this all set to go by next weekend—unless something more pertinent comes up.

For all of you that love to root against the giants, this is for you.
According to the W3 web browser statistics, Firefox (FF) is now the number one web browser. The usage percentage for FF is now at 45.5%. The three latest versions of Internet Explorer (IE) tally up to only 44.8%. So by a margin of 0.7% FF is king!

As web designers, we have been in a constant battle between great typography and “web-safe fonts”. This limitation has led many brilliant designers to create hacks and workarounds to get the type to look just how they want it.
Web Designer Wall posted a great article about the pros and cons of today’s three best practices for custom fonts. [ Click ]

A little holiday treat from the creative minds at AKQA. You never thought that a microwave could be a musical instrument?

Ever wonder what the states really voted on? Chris Harris and Stephanie Chen created this humorous little map. I think I agree with Wisconsin.

Here’s another little something I stumbled across.
At first I thought this was a completely pointless site, but I found myself getting into pretty quickly. If I may offer a word of caution: make sure you have at least an hour to kill before go to this site.

Graffiti Nouveau

Jordan typed it out.
I recently stumbled upon one of the most creative classes of what one may call “graffiti”. Granted it’s not your typical type of spray-can-mayhem. I’d like to consider it more along the lines of showing the world a new way of looking at every day objects. Read More

For those who don’t know, I’m pretty proficient at solving the Rubik’s Cube and I have a small collection of various cube (and other shapes).
Anyway, I found this little jewel on the web: Pantone Rubik’s Cube. I may just have to add this to my collection.
