i was telling someone last night that learning is really important to me, as a web designer & i'm getting absolutely no time to continue learning in my current position. things change daily on the web. you have to stay ahead of the times.
what up with that!??
+ the perfect job
+ a kick-butt creative director
+ music that takes me back to summer 2004
+ endlessly talented co-workers
+ my parents
+ singleness
+ the maturity that exudes one the age of 24 years
+ photoshop brushes
+ helping others
i'm updating a blog i coded for my friend last fall and I just love building upon the architecture i set up @ that time. normally, getting into old code & moving things around isn't any fun @ all -- but i built this one with some pretty good organization & i'm having fun adding functionality to it.
i'm actually stripping out comments b/c we were getting spammed quite a bit. but i'm adding an RSS feed, a paginator & making sure that Google loves the site enough to get some better traffic.
the blog is for jon shirley. i'll post the RSS feed once it's up.
It's been a long while since I've been as inspired by a portfolio as this guy named Chris Erickson. He's an all-in-one art director, well-accompliced animator, brand & packaging specialist, typeface-maker and environmental designer. How'd you like to have one of those on your team?
i'm re-skinning an internal website for work and listening to old school coldplay. not bad. i kind of enjoy it.

i'm going to the nyc for the fourth of july this year.
work is good. people are leaving. that's not good @ all. in fact, two guys are leaving in the next week or so. this is a great company, but the web world moves fast & people jockey for better companies, salaries and benefits all the time. i feel like i'm called to devotion with these guys.
i'm trying to get rails up & running on the mac os x. i'm finding that i need developer tools and that there always seems to be another hoop to jump through. but that's why it's not easy to be a developer. that's why they get paid the big bucks. (author's note: i do not get paid the big bucks.)
