Sending Well-Wishes to the folks in NOLA

There is one moment in my life that has had a huge impact on me—setting foot in NOLA after Hurricane Katrina. The utter devastation I saw there was just disheartening. To know that the folks there have still not recovered breaks my heart. Unforetunately, Hurricane Gustav…

Best Ringtone in the World

I know it’s a bit odd to be enamored with a ringtone but when I heard this one it was almost as if I didn’t have a choice.

I’m an Official Washington, D.C. Suburbanite

I moved the weekend of July 19th from Norfolk, VA to Silver Spring, MD. Unfortunately, me and the folks that moved to Maryland, didn’t get the right size U-Haul so we had to go back last weekend to move the rest of our things—mostly, still didn’t…

Update: April Showers Bring May Flowers and Tornado’s

So I got up this morning and saw that I had a voicemail from my mom at almost 3am; that’s never a good thing—ever. So I call her to see who’s sick or dying or dead and come to find out, while I was complaining…

April Showers Bring May Flowers and…

Frustration! Sorry, I’m feeling the need to rant. One thing I really hate about Spring in Norfolk, VA is the rain. Especially thunderstorms. It would seem the utility folks in this area don’t find it prudent to run utility wiring underground. Every time there is…

Advertising Banned in My Local Mall

I live in an area where the 700 Club is headquartered. For those of you not aware of the 700 Club, it’s an uber-religious organization run by Pat Robertson (who is also looking into buying our local newspaper). As most of us know in the…

I Took the iPhone Plunge

I swore I was going to wait on a newer version of the iPhone before purchasing one but yesterday, I finally succumbed to the internal pressure building within to have the newest Apple toy. I haven’t figured out everything it is capable of but so…

Brad Renfro, Heath Ledger & ?

The saying is “It happens in three’s” so I wonder who’s next. What is it about young Hollywood and younger deaths? I know this is seriously off-topic but when I saw the news about Ledger, I was just blown away. To make matters worse, in…

Do Designer’s Have a Shelf Life?

While toiling away on a redesign for the business side of my site last night, being the Mac geek that I am, I was listening to my iPod through my Powerbook in iTunes; I know, not necessary information but I just wanted to point out…

Updated: David Airey’s Domain Hacked!

David gets his domain name back with lots of help from the web community and amazingly enough, the NY Times. David – 1, Bad Guy – 0.

Funny Non-Design Related Video

So if you’re into juvenile bathroom humor, this is the video for you. I laughed until tears were coming out of my eyes. My UK friends are probably familiar with Graham Norton. Enjoy!

Starsailor On the Outside

I’ve been a fan of Starsailor since their first release, Love Is Here, in 2002. Really enjoying their first release, I liked the direction their second release, Silence Is Easy took, it was a bit less acoustic-y and a great sophmore effort. So I was pleased…

I Think I’ve Gone Mad

So it’s 12:56 am and I’ve been reading some fan fiction (I know, sad really) and it occurred to me that I’m sitting by myself in my apartment laughing until tears have come out of my eyes (of course where else would they be coming…

Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night

I’ve been wanting to write a post about this for about a week now so I figured no time like the present. Since the weather has warmed up in Virginia, there has been a new occurrence outside my open windows, a lone bird singing. Now…
