The designer in me seems to live in a perpetual state where I regard my six-months-previous-self as an “idiot,” and I think that the latest and greatest design I’ve just come up with is the best thing since sliced bread. Welcome…this is my latest and greatest design. I’m sure I’ll hate the high-contrast and dark background in another six months, but I’m digging it for now. Let me know what you think. I’ve been playing around with typography quite a bit lately, and I have to say that I’m starting to enjoy this new “type is coming to the web” phenomenon quite a bit. I got an idea in my head this evening and went from concept to complete WordPress theme in about three hours. Gotta love that WordPress…

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010A Refreshing Change of Pace
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Are you in the Winchester area? I’ll be speaking at Refresh Winchester tonight, detailing my painstaking journey throughout the development of my personal pet project, ThumbSticks.com. It’s been a long road, and there have been many bumps along the way. I’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and I’ll also share a few invaluable assets I discovered along the way. If you’re nearby, be sure to check it out tonight at 6:30pm in downtown Winchester.
New and Improved: ThumbSticks.com
Friday, March 26th, 2010I’ve totally revamped my weekend project, ThumbSticks.com. An entirely new visual presentation accompanies what I hope to be the final version of my ambitious new website. I’m still working on adding box art and other media to the thousands of products you can find on the site, but it’s come quite a long way since last year when I officially launched the initial beta.

Announcing ThePeev.com
Thursday, March 11th, 2010I am pleased to announce the launch of my latest project, ThePeev.com. The Peev is a quick and dirty WordPress site designed for the sole purpose of serving as my personal artistic outlet. I’m posting doodles and sketches regarding all the things in life that may or may not bother you. I had a lot of fun creating the site, which came together nicely from concept to complete in less than eight hours of work. What’s your pet peeve? Visit ThePeev.com and let me know.
Did You Notice?
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010I updated the site’s theme a bit to add some “fresh.” Please give me a bit of time to go through some of my older posts and clean them up for a better display. I’m trying to be very good and do things like add <acronym/> tags and <code/> tags to my posts. Ooh, how very accessible of me. My SEO senses are tingling. More tutorials and other goodies coming very soon.

An Event Apart @ Boston
Monday, June 22nd, 2009I know it’s been a long time since my last post, but things have been busy! I’m at An Event Apart this week, which is a conference for UI designers such as myself. I’ll be making a few posts that have been “in the making” for quite a while now in the coming weeks, so look forward to seeing some new design tips and tricks in the days to come.
Retrospective
Thursday, February 5th, 2009This is a paper that I had to write for a psychology class that I’m currently taking. I had fun in writing it, so I figured that I would share it with more than just my professor. Without further adieu… (more…)
New Server, New Theme
Monday, February 2nd, 2009In the process of moving my blog to a new web server, I decided to take this opportunity to create a new theme for the site. The theme changes depending on what time of day or time of the year that you visit, so check back often! I’ll continue to add little customizations for holidays, special occasions, etc. (what a wonderful use of my time it is to create little meaningless PNG images). Let me know what you think.
