Celebrate My Birthday

Today is my 31st birthday. Yes, I’m a Halloween baby. And for the record, I can be a trick but if you ask Lisa she’ll tell you I’m her treat.
I hope you’ll celebrate my birthday with me by giving me a present. You heard me right.
I would love a present from YOU!

Nothing would make me [...]

Do Something

My friends over at The Plow decided that simply talking about poverty wasn’t enough unless it was also accompanied by action. For Blog Action Day last week they released a series of printable posters centered around this simple message:

This Makes Me Happy

This came in the mail today. It’s the upgrade for the newly released Adobe Creative Suite 4. I’m a true geek when it comes to new software or application upgrades. I pretty much spend most of the day digging through it and assimilating all the new tools, options and features into my design-geek-consciousness.

Geek-O’-Lantern Gallery

Yesterday I posted some pictures of the jack-’o-lanterns we carved. We had fun carving them but these guys took it to a whole new level.
Here’s a few Star Wars-themed pumpkins that will be  gracing the porches of some geek homes this year.

The first step is to select just the right pumpkin…
