Hope For The Animals Comments Off

‘T’ spends her weekends working at a no-kill animal shelter in Fairless Hills, PA (It’s inside the PETSMART near the Oxford Valley Mall).
Sadly they have a bunch of loving animals that have been ignored, abused, or discarded - I’m mortified when I hear the stories of these loving and affectionate animals, it just reinforces, […]

Phillypaws Comments Off

‘T’ and I went gallery hopping last saturday, and by chance stopped in at Phillypaws, a impressive animal shelter on 2nd street. ‘T’ spends almost every weekend volunteering at a similar (albeit smaller) shelter so it was pretty interesting seeing the differences. The animals where very sweet, and if I could I would adopt every […]

Music for a non-productive monday 1

Damn TV! and their never ending marathons, I swear Tuesday will be better…
For your ear(s) enjoyment a very haunting piano cover of NIN’s ‘HURT’ I found on Muxtape.

Memorial Day 2008 Comments Off

On the shore, dimly seen thro’ the mist of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep.
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream
‘Tis the star-spangled banner. […]

Trying hard to like Pixelmator 1

The last MacHeist included a copy of Pixelmator, an interesting graphics editor that leverages Leopard’s Core graphics capabilities, it certainly has it’s pro’s, it’s real fast, has some pretty neat built-in effects (although it’s questionable how useful some of them are for daily design and web development) best of all it’s processor light, and smoking […]

Introducing Sarcasm Marks Comments Off

So this morning I thought I’d partake in some ‘retail-coffee-therapy’ and head over to Starbucks for a ‘Skinny Vanilla Latté’ and on a whim I took my laptop, glad I did, what follows is both factual and timely:

Her: Oh nice laptop, I hear Apple is the new Microsoft…
Me: Ha, sure (rolls eyes, turns away)
Her: You […]

Spinning 15480° 2

So yesterday was my birthday, woo-hoo, my darling wife whisked me off to spend a night in a fancy-pants hotel, spend a day looking at ancient art/artifacts (I’m totally an art geek), and exotic tree-frogs (we’re BOTH wildlife geeks), it was a pretty great day even though the weather was pretty nasty. I even learned […]

Sick… 1

I’m a homebody, honestly, that’s not an exaggeration, I barely, if ever, leave the house or the studio, I’ve created my own little closed universe, and I like it that way. One of the benefits of that is I’m almost never exposed to colds or flu - that being said, in the last 10 days […]
