Quickie
I got a short, 2 to 3 week, contract job at Studio3 doing digital retouch on product shots for a consumer item that’s launching soon. Although I can’t really talk about the specifics, the one item I’ve seen looks like it might be pretty successful. I’m doing clipping paths, dust/cleanup, and color correction for proofs. I guess in the last round of ( Read more... ) -
New Old Records
We had some errands to run today and we ended up at one of my favorite spots to buy used records. It’s cool because it’s not really a record store and I don’t think a lot of people know that the place actually sells vinyl, since the store always seems to have some great and eclectic records, usually for around $2. I would imagine that their ( Read more... ) -
Rage Against The Machine
In 1992 I was one of the guitarists in our high school jazz band and we went to San Diego, along with the marching band, for a large regional or national competition. While there, we went to Sea World and did other touristy stuff around town. After one of the competitions, there were a few bands playing a free show at, I believe, SDU.
We had some ( Read more... ) -

Gangstas on the #7
I spent 30 minutes on a bus from downtown to south Seattle and for the entire ride I listened to two high school aged kids bragging to one another about how gangster they were, even though they both looked like choir boys.
One talked about the adrenaline he gets when he fights to which the other responded that he doesn’t even get adrenaline rushes ( Read more... ) -
Homemade Tortillas
Today seemed really long, but not for any particular reason.
Gwynn (my wife), Gela (my daughter), and I ran some errands and we visited our friend Jeni, mostly to hang out and catch up and, a little, because Jeni wants me to re-redesign a logo for the plumbing business her and her husband, Brad, own.
I designed them a few logos a while back, then ( Read more... ) -

Hopefully I'll update there more than I do here. There's a bunch of posts already. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! -
WordPress Beat Me Down
For the last several days, I’ve been trying to update my blog to use a layout I created. Each time I sat down to work on changing WordPress’ default template (named Kubrick), my brain would seemingly click off and refuse to concentrate. It was as if looking at CSS and PHP was the same as those crazy anime scenes that gave all those kids seisures. ( Read more... ) -
Eva Cassidy: Songbird
Sometimes there are artists and musicians that have a certain intensity and the ability to amaze us with that intensity, even if it’s not necessarily something new and unique. Eva Cassidy was one of those people. She was an amazing singer and musician who passed away before she really had a chance to make it big; she died of melanoma at the age of ( Read more... )
