Just what my dog needs
Thank God someone finally did something to eliminate the terrible self-esteem issue Sampson apparently has had for most of his life. He doesn’t remember that I just told him not to eat the sandwich I left on the counter, but apparently he still can’t get over a procedure he slept through 3 and a half years ago. Odd how an animal’s mind works.
Thank God someone did something to...

Just brought up some old posts from my blog
I’m not really keeping up my Wordpress blog anymore. Tumblr is just a bit easier. So I brought over a few that still have some interest.

What's up with Firefox?
Is it just me, or is the Firefox browser getting buggier with each release? If I have too much going on in the browser, it shuts down on me with no warning. Or it won’t allow me to click on any links. Or, like right now, it won’t allow me to Quit. Seriously. The “Quit Firefox” menu option is greyed out right now. What’s up with that?

Why I try to go unnoticed
Joshua Porter writes an eloquent post on Five Principles to Design By. To quote my favorite part:
“Simplicity is treading a line: knowing what to keep and what to throw away…it comes across as magic when it works, because none of the complexity is transferred to users…only simplicity. That is the highest achievement for a designer.”
He brushes aside the clutter that is sometimes...

Copying design: nefarious or necessary?
Justin Shattuck’s beautiful site was recently featured on a lot of style gallery sites, and for good reason. It’s well layed-out, nice colors, pretty good contrast, great content. And as he pointed out in a recent post, being noticed has as many good points as bad. One of the most unfortunate results of such accolades are those who hop on for a free ride by ripping off someone’s...

H&FJ's Archer
It’s not very often that a font makes me drool, or almost ache that I don’t have the funds to buy all the fonts I want.
Hoefler’s slab-serif Archer did just that. For a font that reminds me of Courier, it’s amazingly elegant and somehow honest. It makes words come alive, with a simple beauty and simplicity.

@thisisdannyz it looks a *little* like you. Think the eyes are all wrong. I was surprised how good of a likeness I got out of mine.

@NETTUTScom sIFR is best if you don’t want to use free fonts. Having fonts in the server could be a license issue. #

@nonexistentera I agree. I don’t think he should gone without a ticket, but it could have been done after they got to the clinic.
: once again, it is totally frustrating when sites force you into their mobile area with no way to get to their regular site.

is done working! lots of detail stuff today, and i’m mentally dead. still a huge pain in my collarbone; don’t know what’s up with that. #

An unexpected effect of the iPhone
I hate to wait. How much of my life have I spent waiting at doctors or bus stops or restaurants or wherever. It drives me nuts. To say I’m impatient is a major understatement.
Apparently what I’ve been missing my whole life is an iPhone. Now while I wait at the Sonic drive in, I fiddle with Twitter or Twinkle. Sitting around in a waiting room at the doctor, I update my Facebook...
@romerg i am, but i’ve never used it cuz no one else is on or you have to invite friends. i don’t like to bother people like that
@bmenoza well, looks good no matter who did it. too bad the web isn’t filled with more pages that look like this one.
digging on @bmenoza’s website. nice typography. http://menoza.org/
working on some beautiful web forms for @thisisdannyz
found $20 in a pair of pants I haven’t worn in months. I love when that happens.
I’m a huge UGA fan. Mostly of the dog, but the team is ok too. http://snipurl.com/3i37d
needs to teach the dogs that not everyone on a bicycle is “dad”
@thisisdannyz what?!? Something at the partnership is crap??? Surely you jest.
@dczanik we had a laser pointer for the cats, who loved it! Never tried with the dogs.
@hyadus that was a new one for me too. i think that’s pushing it a bit. #
@rebizzle9 doesn’t seem fair. i can’t really tell who was best (thought they were all great), but apparently the judges can’t tell either. #
: done working finally. today’s summary: lots of rain, a so-so new web design, a weird pop in my collarbone and weirdness in the olympics. #
: note to Wired Mag: design is first...
