I’ve been following his videos for quite some time, and he recently let me run wild with a design for his personal site. If [...]

I get a lot of inbound emails from users asking for CSS/HTML help on my “Notepad Chaos” theme. When I created this theme, it was for WordPress users only. Since then a handful of wonderful designers and developers have ported it over to other platforms, such as blogger. Unfortunately, I know very, very little about [...]

Over the past few weeks it’s really dawned on me how out dated my portfolio is, and I’ve been putting off updating it (or rather haven’t had the time to get to it). I just moved my family again, and we’re trying to get settled as quick as we can. After we do, and I [...]

A few weeks ago, I got a rather blunt email from Google telling me that they had shut down my Adsense account for fraudulent clicks and returned all advertiser money earned. At first I thought they had sent the email to the wrong person, since over the past 3 years, I’ve only made not much [...]

I just put a few new patterns up at DinPattern. “Dirty Vintage” looks like rundown 70′s wallpaper with some nice grungy orange hues. “Queen’s Quilt” is a subtle, royal style pattern. And finally “Veerle!” which is a scale-style pattern based on Veerle Pieter’s color palette of her blog. Please cruise by and let me know [...]

There are few times where I recommend a movie to others. The last movies I got a real kick out of was Stardust and Bourne Ultimatum. But a few nights ago I saw a movie, and heard a soundtrack that blew everything out of the water. Once. I don’t even know where to begin. “Once” [...]
