The New York Adventure begins!
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 [...]

Hello, Thursday!
Today is a fantastic day! I have purchased my domain, started a trademark application as well as the application for a business name here in good ‘ol Illinois! I have started thinking about logos, the site design and all that fun stuff too, but that has to take a back seat to getting the work [...]

Naming a venture.
This is a dilemma faced by many entrepreneurs : you know your idea/service/product us great. In fact it is so awesome that you name it something off the wall thinking that it won’t matter or that everyone will get your quirky sense of humor.
Well, let me tell you I am facing this very dilemma. [...]

Building a website is not for a hobbyist.
At my “day job” I come across a lot of websites and have to work with code created by all sorts of people. Designers who still use GoLive (oi!), Programmers who dabble in HTML for fun (they might be worse) but the worst code to deal with is the code created by someone who [...]

Fresh Start
Well, I have re-designed the site. And, I think it looks pretty fabulous. I also know that I need to make a few changes. The navigation needs a kick in the booty, but I had to get it together for my web design final. This is ok, but not perfect, so [...]

Mobile Site Design
I created a mobile application/site for YarnCon, Chicago’s own fiber nerd convention.
In keeping with the style of the logo & the current site, I changed it up a little using scraps of yarn as design elements and to create the map of the Chicago neighborhood where the event takes place.
The site was created in Flash [...]

Giving Thanks
This year I have more to be thankful for than usual. This year it was a possibility not only that I wouldn’t be here, but also that one of my cousins wouldn’t be here. There was a possibility that I wouldn’t be able to walk. But, I am here. She is here. I can walk. [...]

Real World: Chi-town.
So this is life. A full time job that has no relevance to who I am or where I want to be (other than the miniscule amount of French I use once a week), a half-time course load that keeps me out of the house til 10:30 four nights a week and a complete lack [...]

Knitting & a quest.
I am a nerd, I admit it. The first analysis I read of the last debate was one on word counts and a comparison of the styles of speaking of the candidates based purely on their choices of words. It was way more interesting than the rest of the political commentary that was out there. [...]

I’m sick and it is nice out.
That kinda bites.
At least I got a few more sketches for my web design class done today. Which is exciting, especially because I slept til 2.
I have to redesign the Fry’s logo for a class project, and I have no idea where to start. I have never been in the store, and was hoping to [...]
