This question seems to come up often. Not just from people who ask me what it is when I tell them what I currently do for a living- “You’re a what?” or “What kind of designer?” or more often just a puzzled look from people like deer in oncoming headlights. However, this question was posed [...]

We’ve been pretty much accustomed to having web access the past number of years now on laptops, tablet PC’s or home computers thanks to WiFi, and even more so since the introduction of Apple’s iPhone.

I’m a big fan of LinkedIn. Not so much for all of the network connections I have (which til now have not proven to be of much value…), but more for the different groups one can join and contribute to as well as learn from. All of the groups, unlike Facebook or mySpace are designed [...]

In it you can win one of two Chevy vehicles, including a Camaro or Corvette — the only reasons to really enter IMO.

On a side note, I ran into Jorge Garcia of Lost, aka Hurley. Asked him for a quick photo and he said no, [...]

Being a designer by nature, among other things, I like seeing new design and old design, but no matter what, I like really good design.
