I don’t know if anyone really pays attention to this but the flaming pink brain logo has appeared and disappeared from this site (and my twitter account) a couple of times. I just put it back and thought I’d explain what it is/why I use it. Read More »

Running and Thinking

running

For me, running is a perfect time to do some thinking. Sometimes I can plan out in advance what I want to work on. I’ve come up with lots of ideas for Talkbot that way. Sometimes no matter what I “want” to think about it seems my brain has it’s own plan. That’s been the case on the last few runs where it seems my brain has wanted to do some thinking about running while running.

Check out my new digs. I’ve been working on this redesign for about a week now.

I’ve been inspired over the last few months from attending Design4Drupal in Boston, working with Jen and reading (at her suggestion) Handcrafted CSS by Dan Cederholm. So this site doesn’t look exactly the same in all browsers. I’m using some fancy CSS3 stuff so if you’re using IE8 or IE7 you won’t see rounded corners and shadows anywhere. And if you are using IE6 you’ll see a completely unstyled site! I just can’t waste any more of my time making things work in IE6.

Mad Skills

It’s been almost a month since I posted anything – as usual, I’ve just been working long hours. Recently I had to put together a “reel.” Normally, I’m not crazy about doing that kind of thing but I had fun with this one and got some help from my alter ego.

Updating, Please Stand By…

blogjune07

Things have been quiet around here (all the action has been elsewhere). So, today, I’m changing that. I just upgraded WordPress 2.2 and loaded up Show In A Box. I’ll be tweaking and customizing for a bit and tomorrow I’ll start on my video backlog (I’ve got 5 or 6 that need to be edited).
