Meetup.com’s 9/11 Creation Story
September 11, 2011 – 11:14 am
I love Meetup.com, but I had no idea how or why they came to be. I got this email from them today that explains it all. “Fellow Meetuppers, I don’t write to our whole community often, but this week is special because it’s the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and many people don’t know that Meetup [...]
Free Fonts and Drew Barrymore Directs!
August 2, 2011 – 8:53 am
Two great links on this Tuesday: 1. Smashing Magazine has compiled 33 high-quality fonts, free for most uses. (The only one I couldn’t figure out how to download was Ubuntu, which brings the count down to 32–still not a shabby number.) For all you font fiends out there, fest on these. [...]
WordPress Video Lightbox Plugin
July 26, 2011 – 3:06 pm
I was searching for a lightbox plugin for a client this afternoon. I ran across a plugin by Ruhul Amin. I really liked the live demo and the ability to use both YouTube and Vimeo videos. The icing on the cake, though, was that these videos will play on mobile devices like the iPhone and [...]
Metronomy Debuts Awesome Stop-Motion Music Video
April 19, 2011 – 8:29 pm
As most of you know, I’m a huge stop-mo fan. If I could, I would spend my days flying around the world making stop-mo shorts and posting them endlessly on YouTube. Metronomy just released their music video for The Look. I’m not entirely sure what birds in bumper cars have to do with anything, but [...]
HTML5 Video Puzzle
January 10, 2011 – 9:10 pm
While HTML5 is still in its infant stages and pretty much a mystery to me, I can certainly appreciate a good musical puzzle-game-thingy. I’m not a Flash hater, but I do understand Flash’s biggest current limitation–needing a software download in order to display. If HTML5 and CSS3 measure up to the hype, it could help [...]
Have you seen that BMW ad?
December 17, 2010 – 10:59 pm
I seen two very creative videos in the past two days. One is an advertisement by BMW. The biggest challenge of a designer is to create something memorable. The only way a potential customer will use a service or product is if he/she remembers it exists. This BMW ad uses flash technology to “place” the [...]
Project O’ The Month – October
October 27, 2010 – 8:00 am
My first freelance client in Austin is/was WayMakers. They’re a unique group of people who are combining they’re individual gifts to try and change the world. Through a friend, I was able to connect with WayMakers and work with them to redesign their website. As you can see, there wasn’t a whole lot of structure [...]
Seeking GD or WD
October 13, 2010 – 10:26 am
No, I’m not talking about a guard dog or wonder drug. I’m talking about a graphic design or web design job! As one of the thousands of designers laid off due to the recession, I’m taking to the streets (and the web) and looking for work. A to-do list is always handy to keep one [...]
