One of my latest projects.

On to the next. (Which is proprietary work for a big client and won’t be making the Internet rounds)

How Symbolic

25 years ago today the first dot com URL was created:  Symbolics.com.

Now there’s 100,000 dot coms registered per day.

When Sundays become Mondays

Stephen and Andrea and grandbaby Brooklyn were up for the weekend. Friday was Stephen’s 27th birthday, and his first birthday as a Daddy.

This picture is from last night while there was shopping going on for Brooklyn. She was trying on shoes and enjoying it. Her daddy should be really worried at this point.

I am trying out the MacJournal for my blog entries, so this is also an experiment on how it will transfer images over to Wordpress.

Alright, I have work to do. I have a biggish project to wrap up. When you have a multi-billion dollar company as a client you want to keep them happy.

MacJournal

I acquired a copy of MacJournal through the MacHeist and am trying it out as my new word processor slash idea tool slash mind mapping application.

I have already created a new journal to keep my notes of the second volume of the Chronicles of The Collected. Yes, it might actually come to life. Years ago I had a title in mind for this novel after Mortal Death, but it has been lost into the ether of my mind… or my harddrive.

I have freelance work to get onto and some sleep I should be trying to catch. Stephen and Andrea and grandbaby Brooklyn will be here in the morning. Friday was Stephen’s 27th birthday and we’re going to do a little celebrating and cooing over the baby.

Olympian

Sitting here with my back out of whack for some weird reason that I’m sure has to do with my freaking age.

And I cringe as I watch these kids snowboarding on the Olympics. Right now Louie Vito just ran his second run, a 39.4. No podium for a (somewhat) local boy done good.

Now Shaun White, there’s going to be our champion. I think he won it from his first run.

Cleaning Up – Subscriber Update

I’ve been slow on the Blog here lately but as things will be picking up soon I wanted to do a little housecleaning.

I have quite a few subscribers and am wanting to scrape away the dead and/or spam accounts in the database, so I will be sending out a housecleaning email to everyone that is a subscriber to the site.  I will be pruning away the accounts to subscribers with dead email addresses.

That is all.

For now.

Nonsense

So yesterday I was pretty busy, but decided for a Monday at work I could still enjoy myself.  I decided to speak in complete nonsense through the IM at work.  Poor Rich, — the victim of my comments– he finally gave up and left me alone after coffee shot out of his nose.  Here is a collection of the nonsense — be they metaphors, idioms or axioms.

“Don’t blanch your marbles until you have a spittoon to roast them in.”

“If Moses hadn’t come down from the mountain you’d still be eating turnip and cream cheese sandwiches with the Pope.”

“If you ignore the effluvia of daily life you miss the marshmallow goodness in the middle.”

“You can’t translate ‘ick’ into ‘ug’ without breaking all the eggs in the elevator”.

“My Snoop ate my Dogg and his tail is made of gummy worms.”

“Human factors are the elephant whose trunk is red and bouyant.”

“Code is but a rhombus with an eggroll dipped in wasabi”

“A nose cannot think like coffee.  Does not a flower smell like Cinnabon?”

“Your Uncle was a goose pimple on the tongue of delight.”

“And he cast out his net like a fisherman dances ballet.”

“A wire can’t cut cheese like a potato can churn butter.”

“Watered bottles are the karma for fringe-thinkers”

“His armor is as chinked as his humor is floundery”

“Exponential negatives only add up to mud and grassy vowels.”

“His depravaties were what made him a cushion for the toad.”

“Blankets are for pimples.  A true regret will shine like a battle cry”

Abandoned 3D World

The Abandoned Crown (click for full-res)

I don’t get to do as much 3D as I’d like.  This was the last render I did and that was in March of ‘09!

It was to be a puzzle image for Puzzoodle.  Don’t think it ever made it out there to the App Store.
