Patrick and I went down to Letchworth Park on Friday afternoon. It was summer weather, warm and sunny with a lovely breeze. Unfortunately, after driving an hour and being out in the sun with Patrick, I was too busy enjoying the afternoon and the walk to bother checking the settings on my camera – or [...]

Patrick is here for most of April, and since there’s not much for him to do while I’m at work other than hang around the house and go for walks, I took a half day on Friday and we drove up to Niagara Falls for the afternoon. The weather was sunny and cool and we [...]
Like most of the country, we had an abnormally warm stretch in March, and I got out for a walk around the Erie Canal in Pittsford one Sunday. Here are some of the pictures. There are a lot of beautiful buildings in the little town, and as the trees come into flower and leaf it [...]

One of my first StormFrog projects back in January was to make a logo option for the Empire State Games that would be presented alongside designs from two other designers here for their pleasure. I did some research into the Olympic Games logos, as these games bear a certain resemblance to a state version of [...]
Holy crap, an update! Life here has been much the same from day to day, lots of various drama at work and mostly nothing too interesting to post. Most evenings I’ve been glad once I’m home to just make some dinner, watch some Netflix or play Torchlight, and read A Storm of Swords by Mr. [...]
I got a table and need no longer eat on the floor. :) I also went for a walk Saturday morning and took some pictures of my neighborhood. As you can see it’s quiet and pleasant. There’s what looks like a well but isn’t, out by the street. I don’t know if it’s supposed to [...]

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 [...]
