    Sketchee.com up to date

    Monday, March 31st, 2008

    I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 without a problem and in minutes. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the software that makes updating this site a breeze. My favorite of its new features is its plugin upgrade feature. It alerts the user to upgrades and updates it with a click of a button. [...]

    You cant eat your cake and still have it

    Saturday, March 29th, 2008

    Just had a lengthy discussion with a friend about the old phrase you cant have your cake and eat it too. Few people really seen to understand it. And why use it anyway

    You Like It Unformal

    Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

    Manolo for the Men is one of my favorite blogs. The text is always so short and to the point. The pictures are priceless and demonstrative. I ramble on too much and am too formal here. Take the post about the sucky new polo brand’s logo. Izzy is brash; I love it!
    Here’s [...]

    A typeface

    Friday, March 21st, 2008

    I’m not really very politically decisive, so don’t take this link as some kind of statement. A font we can believe in is just an interesting look at a typeface in the context of Obama’s campaign for the presidency.
    Also, check out Daily Color Scheme for some nice color schemes. You might like reading about [...]

    music.sketchee.com

    Thursday, March 20th, 2008

    music.sketchee.com just got a facelift. A very small bit of redesign to improve the look of it all. I might continue to tweak a bit over the next few days. If you haven’t yet visited the site, it has sheet music of my original compositions and arrangements from classical music and video games. I [...]

    Flashers

    Thursday, March 20th, 2008

    Glyphobet’s Why your Flash website sucks article presents a few reasons why a Flash presentation may not be the best idea for your content. Flash has its place, but keep it there. Especially now with the rise of AJAX.
    I have now installed the Wikipedia-link plugin which allows me to link to Wikipedia using [...]

    Typefaces Designers Must Have

    Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

    There’s a list of Designer Must Haves as commented on by Tara MacKay over at Notes on Design.
    The best fonts list includes some of my favorite typefaces. I love using Adobe Caslon Pro—it must be Pro and you have to make use of the OpenType features. Italic Swash is my favorite. Adobe Garamond Pro [...]

    Excited about Wordpress 2.5

    Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

    Wordpress has posted a sneak Peak of 2.5. It looks pretty cool including a new customizable dashboard and streamlined navigation. It’s all backend stuff for this site that no one really cares about except those of us who use it for blogging and content management. I recommend Wordpress after trying many of the competitors, including [...]

    Color Space

    Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

    Check out Why Printers Don’t Want RGB Files And Why That Should Change from imageprep.net. I’m a designer constantly dealing with converting RGB to CMYK conversion. It’s a hot topic in the office trying to get these things to print right. Printers are stubborn so I don’t think it’s going to change, but this [...]
