I'm very sick and have had to take a few days off work. I hope I can do a half-day tomorrow and work from home. I have a lot of stuff that needs doing, but my boss is being so kind and considerate. Really everyone is. I am deeply touched by the number of inquiries as to my health and expressions of concern that I have received since I became sick ( Read more... )

I'm trying to pump out a "finished" piece of artwork every week now to gear up for drawing comics again and/or animating. I'm way rusty.

Woo, my latest article about usability, specifically Better User Orientation Through Navigation, went live on UXBooth today. If you do web design, please have a look and let me know what you think! (There's a comic in it, to boot!)

This Easter Sunday, while everyone is gorging on chocolate and making forays into that thing we know as "sunshine", I'm in the kitchen with a great big steaming pot of black. Yep, it's the Blackening season ( Read more... )

They gave us Good Friday off from work. And I've decided to spend mine sitting in, you guessed it, a coffee shop. And I'm, you guessed it again, still working on sites. But this time, these are my own projects.

Increasingly, I'm having trouble with clothes. I've been replacing worn out articles with things that are appropriate work wear, but this ( Read more... )
