I was told by one of my employees that I must have an exciting life because of all the things I do at home. I am not sure that is necessarily true, but I will take it as reason to post more than I have been.
This week’s dinners have been lamer than normal, but I [...]
It has been a while since I last posted and I have had about a bazillion things change in the past 3 months. I moved to Champaign, IL. I got a new job. I was diagnosed with CRPS.
Mostly, things have been good. The apartment is pretty spiffy. I have a huge kitchen & large bathroom and [...]
That’s right. These days I am an award winning designer. I am so awesome that I do not even have time to design my own blog.
My portfolio also won an awesomeness award. Because, well, I am awesome.
Original Moxie has now launched as my portfolio site, and all that will live here is this little blog [...]
I wrote and illustrated a children’s book this past winter, and I have finally gotten it published! (Ok, so I published it on Lulu, but it counts).
It is a story of 2 siblings, they happen to be from Venus, who are very, very different, yet still love each other.
It was written for Henry and Jane [...]
I have been at this daily design thing for about a week and a half now. I started out fairly aimlessly with some concepts for the knitting website that I am building: Knitdea. (Logos 1, Logos 2, Logo – Final)
I have now moved on to creating a design based on / inspired by the people [...]
2010 is going to be a great year. I am participating in Design Informer’s daily design challenge (follow it on twitter via #design365). You can see my posts at design365.maryfranwiley.com.
I wrote a design manifesto that I plan on following as well.
I am starting up a knitting design & inspiration blog (not a full on knitting [...]
Beacause apparently blogging is essential for a good career. And Google likes updated websites (it is good for SEO, and I tell my clients all the time).
Besides, I have this domain, so I might as well use it. I need to make sure that when you search for me, I come up as the entire [...]
Oh, has it been a year since YarnCon? I’, afraid it had been. This year was a little sad. There was no cousin Christine. There was no knitting fiend cousin Beth (I am sorry I created that monster) Here is a preview of the yarn I got (I can’t post the rest because [...]
Over on my company’s blog there is a giveaway this week for a free poster print from UPrinting!
I have it on good authority that they are giving away custom greeting cards next week and a custom vinyl banner the next!
If you win the poster or the cards and want a custom design, we will throw [...]
Dear XO Communications / Concentric Hosting,
When you say that you support WordPress, make sure you tell your customers that you support only a very old version with a giant security hole. And that if you want to use a more recent version you have to pay someone there to make a recent, stable version work [...]
I leave for my first vacation in quite a few years tomorrow. I haven’t been on a plane since an interview with Google in Ann Arbor, MI (yes, I had the poor taste to accept such a ridiculous interveiw). And, I have to admit that I am a wee bit nervous. I was going to [...]
I have been working late into the night working on my new web design venture and have come up with a smashing logo design. It was a bit of a process, and admittedly it was a bit rushed, but sometimes things just feel right, and this was one of those times. I knew I wanted [...]
