Thoughts and observations from a quirky cartoonist and designer.

Pre-birthday and Tivo

September 27th, 2004 with 9 comments.

TivoWith my birthday around the corner I’ve been scouting out potential gift ideas for those who are more inclined to purchase a gift for me than a simple money exchange. Some people feel that it’s impersonal to slip a few dollars into an envelope and others would rather take the “money route”, not knowing what to get the person. The fact is, there are some people that are hard to shop for and some, like me, are exceptionally easy.

Flickr

Flickr ChihuahuaEver since signing up with Flickr a few days ago I’ve been having a ball with this community driven photo sharing web application. Even though it’s still in the obligatory beta stage, it’s jammed packed with several streamlined features. The appeal lies within its simplicity; that is the ability to upload photos, attach titles and descriptions and share them with other Flickr members.

High School Counselors

September 19th, 2004 with 13 comments.

“You’ll never graduate from a four year college.” Those words, albeit harsh and abrupt, were given to me by my high school counselor, her response to my decision to drop my Algebra 2 class in favor of taking Ceramics 101.

I remember the day like it was yesterday; a light wind swept through the campus as I strode to the Guidance office to tell my counselor about my decision. When I reached the office door I had a flashback to my early years of education.

Version One: Fingerpaint

September 15th, 2004 with 14 comments.

I’ve noticed a recent trend among web developers releasing their first generation web designs for historical and resource purposes. In my opinion this shows that everyone has an evolutional process when it comes to design, be it web-related or not. For example, Dave Shea of Mezzoblue, documents his site’s aesthetic (and logical) evolution in A Different Kind of Permalink.

Following this trend, and realizing its implicit significance, I’ve shown you my first web site entitled EMWare Productions, scrapped from Archive.org’s Wayback Machine.
