New computer-trackpadery love.

Posted on September 9th, 2011 by eric

  I knew it was going to happen sometime. Ever since I started using my MacBook Pro’s trackpad a whole lot more while mobile, every time I went to use my mouse at my desktop the experience was almost annoying. I blame the surface resistance of my desk which was probably not the best to [...]

Wow, that’s catchy: Minuit

Posted on September 3rd, 2011 by eric

Spent some time poking the interwebs for some new musics and decided Minuit was a good place to settle. I’ve actually been so into what I’ve heard on Bandcamp that I’m even listening to the remix albums… something that rarely comes with positive results but these aren’t bad! Take the time to poke at their [...]

Might repurpose this blog

Posted on September 1st, 2011 by eric

I have a feeling that what prevents me from posting to this blog as often as I would like is the fact that I have tried to intermingle personal and professional in one place… and it might not be working. So, here’s to ditching the “professional” on this blog and to coming up with another [...]

Fastest redesign yet!

Posted on August 18th, 2011 by eric

Yeah… just changed this blog’s theme with a few hours of poking around. It’s based off of H5 by Jeff Starr which is one of my normal framework themes, as of late. I’ll probably change some stuff but, I think it was a decent challenge which actually worked out!

Now that this auction has ended and there is no way that I can ever sell enough plasma to acquire it, I’m going to vent the last of my envy in a blog post. God it’s amazing. $510 doesn’t seem that bad either.

Thinking alike?

Couldn’t help but notice how similar these album covers were. I mean, they’re so close to each other in my iTunes library!

The phases of this site

Posted on December 10th, 2009 by admin

Well, this might not be of interest to anyone but I think it might be interesting to have a single place to look at this stuff: This website took many forms before finally landing on this version. Version 3 was still based on the previous site which was a static, mainly HTML page that used [...]

Objectified

Posted on December 7th, 2009 by admin

Had a night of design geekery a while ago by reading two chapters from Shaughnessy’s How To Be A Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul and watched the US premiere of Gary Hustwit’s Objectified on OPB. Now, to be honest, Objectified had a lot of ground to cover in very little time. For the designer, [...]
