My musings on various topics.

  • How have you been?

    For a while there I bet you all thought I’d stopped writing. Yes and no. I had stopped for a bit, but I’m baaaack… I’ve been really busy with my new position at Pearson. What can I say…I love my job. It’s busy, I work with great people, I’m challenged daily to come up with…

  • Cool Actionscript…and it’s FREE!!!

    I’ve got a few slick scripts that I thought I would share with the world. These are simple scripts for toggling buttons, and it works without components.

  • Update Lettering Text on Black Background

    Where have you been?

    Well…to make a long story short I’m a loser. Not in the classical “parental basement dwelling” sense of the word, but in the “I’m neglecting my blog sense”. So here are the updates. I’ve started my new job at a fantastic company Pearson, as the Senior User Interface Designer. I will get to draw on…

  • No rest for the wicked…or so they say

    Wow what a week. I start a new job this Monday…tomorrow. I’ll be working for Pearson Education in Rancho Cordova. So I won’t be a contractor at HP anymore.

    Where is web design today?

    Many people now rely on the web as a source for their lifestyles; research, maps, gossip, movie rentals, shopping. Now that this tool is so heavily used I thought it would be good to think about where it started, and where it is today from a design perspective. In the early days websites were pretty…

  • Don’t Buy Need for Speed Pro Street!

    I’ve had it! I bought Need for Speed Carbon the day it arrived in stores. I ran out after work handed over my hard earned cash and ran home to install it. It was fun, and I loved it. Sounds great. But the game crashes all the time.
