- Blog-O-Thon
What a crazy thing blogging is. My wife’s blog post today is covering the same subject that I was going to blog about. And so I felt necessary to let her know - in good fun - that she stole my blog for the day. She sweetly replied with “you can blog about it too.” [...]
- Stick A Fork In It
Welp, finally got around to finishing up the links/recent/archive section. Was really hating the way I had them on the bottom of the page. All three are long vertical elements and squashed at the bottom just wasn’t working. All these blogs have sidebars for a reason. It just makes sense. Form and Function working together.
I [...] - 2005 Bloggies
That’s right kids! The time has come to cast your votes for the 2005 BLOGGIE AWARDS! Voting is closed on February 3rd, so hurry up! They’ve got the normal categories along with a few new ones. I’m going to vote right now!
After re-reading this post, I can’t believe I used 4 exclamation points for only [...] - I Thought Today Was Wednesday
This Friday we are having our 2nd Annual Company Bowling Tournament. I was speaking with some co-workers today and they asked if I was bringing my daughter tomorrow. Well, trying to be a smart-alec, I dryly retorted, “No, but I’ll be bringing her on Friday…ha ha ha…”
They both looked at me with blank stares. One [...] - What is Graphic Design?
// WHAT IS IT?
It’s really a good question that gets asked a lot. An especially good question since even among prominent graphic designers the answers differ. The simplest definition I can supply is: Graphic designers organize information. Simple as that.
The type of information varies greatly (from text to graphs to charts to photographs to [...] - Beginnings
Yep, just banged out this new blog design. Like it? I’m not too thrilled with the bottom area. I’ll tweak it when I have time.
Yesiree, that’s me up there, pimpin’ out on my 1979 Big Wheel. I’m 3 1/2 years old in that photo. Not really sure why I chose it - thought it was [...] - Blizzard? You sure?
We got slammed pretty hard with this Northeast “Blizzard.” It started snowing around noon on Saturday and ended around noon on Sunday. All morning the wind was pretty fierce - kicking snow around until snowdrifts formed the size of small SUVs. Not sure how much we actually got. They were predicting 12″-18″. I think we [...]
- b2?
So lately I’ve been contemplating a redesign of my blaqenedwyte blog. Which is funny to me since my blog was the byproduct of thinking about a redesign of my website. So, I ended up designing my blog first and my website redesign grew from that. Now that I’m sneaking up on my 1 year blogging [...]

I certainly feel as though I’ve been missing life lately. I just returned from a business trip to Florida and my hectic work schedule I’ve been keeping is finally slowing down. It really hit me hard when, [...] - NYC on New Years
This year I had the opportunity to be in Manhattan on New Year’s Eve. I did Times Square on New Year’s in 1999 with a great group of friends. I’m so glad I had the chance to do it, but I’ll never do that again. It was too many people, too cold for too long.
This [...]
