Taking a break
Nov 9th

Taking a hint from Justine, I’m going to take a break from blogging for awhile, at least until I have something intelligent to write. At least until I have an extensive post to write, as well (these one paragraph posts about my life and my work are tiring).
While I’m away, might I suggest some of the sites I visit daily? They’re all I’ve needed to keep informed for some time:
- The Seattle Times
- Mike Davidson’s blog (of Newsvine.com fame)
- Newsvine.com
- Kelly Smith (of Curious Office / Imagekind.com fame)
See you outside.
Late night postings

My religious beliefs differ (in some areas, greatly, in others, slightly), but I feel all Martin Luther tonight. This is not about religion, however. It’s about the future, and never saying “die.”
Well, that’s a little weird

So I’m working on this design idea for a client. It’s in the very rough phase right now, so no mocking of my limited design skills (I leave that stuff up to my very capable wife, Justine).
What I’m dealing with is a PNG graphic I’d like to float over top of a transitioning image (yup, it’s javascript). The transitions are very much like what’s happening over at the Magstand homepage. The PNG logo needs to overlay the transitioning jpgs, which works fine in Safari 3.x on the Mac. However, I’m getting an odd result with Firefox (also mac – haven’t tested anywhere else yet). The logo appears to be 50% from the left of the browser, but as a beginning, not as a centered file.
Weird, huh?
Update: Here’s what things look like on the PC side:
Wedding photos we’ll all remember
Nov 5th
Over at divinecaroline.com, there’s a post about wedding photos we’ll all remember. This is a great list of photos that are humorous in their candidness.
Of course, I think the photos that Sean Flanigan took of our wedding came out great, including the fantastic candids (the majority of his photos could be classified as either candid or ‘in the moment,’ a feature I love about his style). Tasia and Jemma took the cake for the finger-in-the-nose shot (above).
