So here at RIT, Jonathan Coulton is like the theme song for RIT. Well, I guess “Code Monkey” is, more specifically, but his songs in general are adored by all here. And this video done by Stephen Torrence in ASL and costume just proves it. Unfortunately this guy is evidently a student in Texas. :( [...]
Now that ImagineRIT is over, I have time again to update my blog about these sorts of things. I spent most of Friday rendering nice designs for the kiosk (we had to cut down the graphics for the live version, and the projectors mutilated the video quality) and working on info posters for the room. [...]

In my latest attempt to be an internet creeper, I installed Google Analytics on the blog about a month ago. It’s fascinating to see where my readers are coming from. Have I mentioned that this tool totally makes me feel like a government all by myself? Visits from Mac and Windows, and from New York [...]

Odopod (one of the “cool companies” featured at the RIT Industry day) posted this article singing praises for the New Media program. Yay for Adam kicking our butts until we can do proper design! I do find it interesting however, that none of the other programs (seeing as it was open to the whole school [...]

They’re creeping closer to developing element 119 – Nature says element 117 has been discovered! o.O That came sooner than I expected… but it sounds like I should have known better: “…analysis of the new element suggests theories about these super-heavy elements becoming more stable as they get heavier may be correct.” Hopefully it will [...]

I wish I was at home in my nice hobbit-hole by the fire, with the kettle just beginning to sing! –The Hobbit, J.R.R.Tolkien With the end of winter here (it’s springtime in Rochester!), and the season of cuddling warm mugs under blankets at a close, I wanted to pay a tribute to what I drink the [...]

Here are style frames for my ENM project. The idea behind this project is to produce a visual/motion presentation of the following poems – a looping typographic and abstract animation where each poem will be presented slightly differently. This is a purely art piece I’ve been wanting to do for several years now, so I’m [...]

We’re now into week 3 of 11 here at RIT, with less than 60 days to go. All my classes are surprisingly good (I’m not really a theater person, and well, writing seminar? I think I got that info my first year of high school). Mostly they’re good because of teachers. I get a daily [...]

I’m a fan of Studio on Fire’s work. Although I don’t always love the design style of their prints, their presentation is amazing, and I wish I could get a copy of their recent project, a 200-year calendar in German. The photos make it look so rich, and the typography is classic and exquisite. I’m not [...]
