Slacker

So much for posting everyday, huh? I have found myself short on time over the past few days. My freelance gigs have been taking all of my spare time. Which is good for the wallet... and bad for my posts.

I am currently waiting for the Lounge Punk desktops to be featured at Skinz.org. I submitted a few days ago... let me know if you see them pop-up.

DZ is back with new posting madness... this time he has officially made the largest and most moving post to yet cross the digital lines of the web.

I am now taking suggestion on what to do with this domain. It has been sitting blank a little too long.

Fresh Crap

New desktop image at LP... finally. Yeah that weekly desktop image has turned into a annual desktop image... I think we shall be getting back to weekly... shortly.

Got the new Coldplay CD for my bDay... yeah, it rules. It makes me feel like I am chilling on a lawn-chair floating on a cloud somewhere over paradise. Inspiring... and mellow.

Burnout

Things are stacking up... I am getting tired, but I refuse to burnout. I am stepping back and refocusing. The thing that is keeping me moving is the dim hope that one of my projects is going to pay-off. I am a few miles away from having anything completed... but have a healthy start or idea on most projects. Just gotta keep on truckin'.

Tomorrow is my birthday... and I just don't care. Sad, huh? I ain't feeling it. I having that same feeling you get with you have your first Christmas as an adult... where you just don't see what the fuss is about anymore. I am taking the day off from work... but not really... as you can tell from the above paragraph, I have a few things to do.

Threadless

The new Threadless.com is very nice. Very small changes in the design and the code that just make the site better than before. If you are not already familiar with this site... you really should check it out. It is a great place to get T's that no one else is wearing.

Good Times

The weekend was a good one. I got enough done and had fun... what can be better than that? Winning the lotto you say? You would be right... but next in line is using the time.. feeling rested... and having some fun.

Saturday

Just trying to get things done... and get a little extra sleep. This is seeming to be the trend for weekends.

Thanks to Manda, I will have all of the wedding photos up soon.

Happenings

I have something new going on at Faction Studios. The same site has been up for quite some time. I am taking it down and redesigning it. The new logo is already up. I am starting to take on a bit more freelance work... the image was not reflecting the clients that I am going after.

MxPx was great. I was worried they they might not be too good in person. I was wrong... they were great. They said that they were going to be having a new album out soon... that I cannot wait for.

MxPx

I am going to see MxPx tomorrow night. Someone gave me tickets. It is only my favorite band in the world. I am so happy... I think I might just wet myself.

Design Expo

Went to and worked at the AIGA Expo... it was very cool. Saw a ton of great stuff and meet some really cool people.

Morning

Coffee is in the microwave... and I am hunting for something interesting on the web. My usually reads have been dead... or at least slowly moving for quite sometime. Must be the holidays coming up?

Public Service Announcement

Due to my work moving, we will be internetless until Wednesday... or so they say. I thnk it will be longer, but I have been wrong before.

Also, I have taken on two big projects so I may disappear for a week or two.

The weekend was good and fun... even though I work on Saturday.

Feeling Tired

It is still something that I struggle with. I hear a bunch people everyday complain about it as well. It is really seeming to me that being tired is a fact of life. No one really every gets over it; we just keep going through it. It is not a matter of who is tired and who is not... it is who can do the most in a drunken state of sleep.

Portfolio

I have designed 50+ sites in the past 5 years... and someone asked me for a few URLs... I had to scrape the barrel just to find a few. This is what happens when you let your portfolio take the back seat. Shame on me. I am going to start looking through my computer and start getting my old work ready for a digital portfolio.

Shame... shame.
