I just finished the Creative Writing Department Website (CRW) for Austin Community College. This Is the second site I’ve now completed for ACC, having also designed and developed their Foreign Language Department Website (FOLA) and I thought I’d share my experiences. Both sites are currently live and if you haven’t checked em out yet, I do recommend that you do so.

One of the things i really like about this business is the fact that working doesn’t actually cost me any more money than not working. I have no material overhead (although i do regularly invest in my computers and pay rent), no employees, and unlike a builder or fabricator I don’t have to buy metal just to try something out. The structures that i build are essentially conceptual. So, if i have the time i like to fill it with creative projects.

I wanted to share something i just finished working on. The Fortress Galvanic Arts Website is now live and it looks beautiful.

It is so odd how difficult it can be to layout less objects, your brain always tries to over complicate design. But simple, clean layouts are really satisfying and if you can overcome the temptation to over design you get some really delightful results.

I have good news and some bad news. GOOD NEWS: despite all the media frenzy about the antenna, the Iphone 4 is a great phone. BAD NEWS: as consumers we have officially become entitled bitches. To be honest, every phone I have ever owned has been far from perfect, The Iphone 4 has by far come the closest (despite any antenna issues or small glitches it might have). It is zippy and intuitive, the retina screen is amazing and vivid, the photos and video look great if the lighting is well done. Yeah sure, it can call people too, but this is a computer for your pocket. » Read the rest of this entry «

As far as I’m concerned the worst thing about social networking is having to actually do it. Who wants to go on three or four different pages to update your status.

Sacred Heart Rubber Apron is done
The Austin Community College’s Foreign Language Website and Sacred Heart Rubber Aprons Website are done. If you ask me I think they look great but i guess you all can be the judge of that.

This last week has been quite a week, folks. Went to San Francisco to visit my visiting french Grandma and just returned. It was real nice to hang out with family even though I essentially worked the whole time. Thankfully i can take my computer with me and set up office anywhere I go. I am counting my blessings and hoping that my grandmother can eventually fly back to France.
