So, as of last night I’m moved into my currently-permanent residence in Pittsford, NY. It’s a condo in a little subdivision just down the road from the Pittsford Wegmans (and soon a Trader Joe’s, plus lots of other stores) on one side and the Erie Canal on the other. The condo neighborhood is apparently mostly [...]

A couple of my projects have gone live now! Snackstick.com, for which I set the design style, is live. Kerstin did all the implementation and a lot of the refining of the design, and we both worked on rewriting their copy text to be a little more marketing-oriented and a little less home-grown. I like [...]

You may recall that right before Christmas I got a job offer to go work at StormFrog, where I did some freelance work in 2010. I promptly (if regretfully) put in my notice at Accuraty, packed my bags and got myself a plane ticket, since they needed another designer as soon as possible. StormFrog set [...]
Between the holidays and my departure from work as of tomorrow, things have been very quiet for me at Accuraty lately. I’ve been working on a new logo for them, which is quite exciting even though I’m leaving right away. Getting art direction from Aclewe while I was working there on the TEAMGOLD logo definitely [...]

It was lately Christmas, as you may have noticed. My parents are back from sabbatical in Eugene, Oregon, and we celebrated the holiday nicely together with delicious food and so on. I went to some nice parties for friends and coworkers, and we all went to the UU church’s Christmas Eve service, which was very [...]

I went up to New Hampshire over the weekend to visit my grandparents with my dad. We had a good time with them. My grandfather did some wandering though the forest with us, and we kept my grandmother company in her nice chair by the fireplace. It was quite a nice visit. They have a [...]
With the holiday season, I haven’t gotten around to writing about my activities in a timely manner. I had Thanksgiving with my best friend’s family and friends, which was a really fun time. We played some games, watched some football, and of course ate lots of delicious food. Accuraty also had a holiday LAN party, [...]
We got an assignment at work in October to make a new website for the Illinois Green Business Association, which went live just last week. I was excited to be assigned to this since I’m interested in working with more humanitarian projects through work, and since they’re young energetic professionals who were willing to listen [...]

For about a month now I’ve been playing this ASCII game called Dwarf Fortress. I realize that I’m late to the game, and most people have already tired of playing it. The game takes me back to the days of playing Oregon Trail on the public library computers in the 90s. Except with a worse [...]

Last night I went to see the opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) by Mozart at Krannert. It was by the U of I school of opera (most of the performers seemed to be masters’ students), with a pit of what I assume were also U of I music students. I thought they all did [...]
