The Game
Maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t, either way this new flash-based game from Adam Saltsman and Eric Johnson of Semi Secret Software is the definition of addicting. It makes me reminisce over the days of 8-bit graphics on my Nintendo.
Casa De La Steed
Yesterday over on the new Steed facebook page I posted a question about what I should do on my new video blog. Well, with only one response it was pretty simple to decide what to do. So thank you Chris Drake for suggesting a little house tour.
9 CommentsCelebrating Two Years
It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this blogging thing for two years now. So many things have changed since then. I can remember the only way of finding new people to connect with was searching through people’s blogrolls. Now we have twitter. And the content I write about has had a dramatic change from my very first post about The Darjeeling Limited. These days it’s geared more toward design.

Magntize Your Life
Formerly known as Nectar, the guys behind Magnt are an incredible crew of web sophisticates (is that even a real word?). Apart from knowing them personally, just seeing the work that they produce is enough to make me admire them. If you’re interested in learning more about the team behind Magnt you can read an old interview I did with them.
2 CommentsRedesigning Myself Part 2
As I mentioned in my last post, I wanted to save all the mushy design details for this post. I wish to spread the details out over three parts instead of trying to fit everything in to one gigantic post. So let’s re-focus our attention on the choices I made that lead to my redesign.

Enjoy Your Work
We all have those days when we’re not 100% – that was today for me. But what really counts in this life are the relationships we have and those who can lend an ear and an encouraging word. After an uplifting conversation I had with my friend Daniel (really more like a brother) I opened up the Bible to Ecclesiastes. I ran across an old verse I had underlined that really inspired me:
5 CommentsIn Response to Zeldman
Yesterday I read this article, “Dirty Little Secret of Success“, by Jeffrey Zeldman. It struck a nerve in me right away because it deals with the human condition and how that relates to being successful. But in my opinion Mr. Zeldman, with all do respect, you got it backwards.
12 CommentsRedesigning Myself Part 3
So far we’ve looked at the events in my life and the creative process it took to lead to my new design. The other area I want to cover is how my faith has played a part in this whole ordeal. But I don’t think it will be as easy to convey as my design process was, it’s a bit difficult to make a wireframe of my faith. But nonetheless, I will fill you in with what God has been showing me.
