Cringe-Worthy

I just put up a portfolio of my most recent — and distant past — projects. As I was nearing the end I started to debate whether to include certain designs I worked on. On the one hand they ARE my designs, but on the other hand they’re very… well not bad, just amateurish at [...]


Summer is Hot

I suppose I’ve failed again to post regularly, but I’m so active elsewhere it seems like I blow all my “energy” there and ignore my poor website. Oh well. I did upgrade stuff in the back and I’m looking at some changes, and maybe trying to integrate my activities elsewhere so they show up here [...]


Basic Bear Tanking Macros

I was asked about what macros I use as a Bear tank, and if I could share them. If there was one thing I wish Blizzard would add to WoW, is make it easy to share macros with your friends or fellow guild members. However if that was the case, then I wouldn’t get the [...]


Why Do Desks Suck?

I’ve been searching for a new desk the past day or two, and I’ve come to the conclusion that they all suck. The company that I bought my last twodesks from — none of thier designs today look even half as interesting as my last or current desk. So I’ve decided to build my own. [...]

Because our theater was still pushing Alice in Wonderland, or Avatar in 3D I missed the 3D action. Still I don’t think that would’ve changed things that much. The movie itself [...]


Off by a Pixel

There are times when coding a design goes from being fun to being an exercise in what feels like futility. It came to my attention that there was a positioning error with my new layout. Yes, it was off by 1 pixel. One measly little pixel and it ruined my morning. I searched around for [...]


A Clean Slate

I’ve not used my website much over the past year. At times I wondered if I even needed a website anymore, even considered closing it down. However this seemed to be part of an overall “designer’s block” I was having in regards to designing anything. Whether it was a signature for a forum, or a [...]
