David Airey recently asked the question as to whether an all-positive feedback style system is better for design learning than the more typical critical appraisal. I think this question begs to be asked and discussed more in our libre corner of the design world.
While I make no attempt to be all-knowing or all-seeing, it [...]

A little over two weeks ago, I got an email from one of the developers of a project called OpenPilot asking if I'd be interested in creating a logo for the project. OpenPilot is an open source project developing an autopilot system for model aircraft - interesting stuff. Always looking for a creative challenge to [...]

I recently came across two scripts to beautify both Google Calendar and Google Reader. Being a heavy user of both, I decided to give them a try and so far I love them. They're installable on both Firefox (using Stylish) and on Google Chrome (which I use at work) as a user script.

I got home today and found a nice package in the mailbox. I always get giddy when there is anything in there other than direct mail ads and bills. This time the giddyness was fully justified. It turned out to be my package of schwag from The SouthEast LinuxFest. W00T!

While I make no bones about being a fan of Linux and Free Software, I'm also someone who tries, at least most of the time, to understand opposing ideas and differing perspectives. For instance, I regularly listen to the MacBreak Weekly podcast even though I don't own any Apple products and likely never will. I [...]

One of the things I've always enjoyed doing is creating desktop wallpapers. I don't know if it's just my way of flexing my creative muscles, but I enjoy doing them. For the last little while I've spent quite a bit of (maybe way too much) time in the Crunchbang forums posting ideas and images in [...]

Awesomely funny post over at Stuff White People Like.. here's a tidbit:
