A New Blog Design
This weekend on the airplane I got inspired to give my blog a bit of a makeover. I stuck with the same colors and even the same background but really tried to simplify things a bit. I am also writing some longer articles more often so I made a place to highlight those. I still…
Read MoreDesign Refresh and New Site Icon
The past month or so I have been working a new design job as a semi-long term contractor for design company. I’ve been working hourly so its easy for me to slip into the temptation to work all the time whenever I have a free hour from church or family. This of course, leaves little…
Read MoreComments are Back
For some reason my comments weren’t working the last two days. Someone finally brought it to my attention so now I realize that you all don’t hate me. Phew.
