I ran across this fantastic collection of photographers today. Michael Ash Partners Photographers cover about every kind of photography you’d need in any kind of project—and all of them are aces.
I loved Markku and the Dennis Manarchy sets a ton. I think I could easily blow a couple hours browsing here.
Daytum is a great, geeky site that lets you create fun little charts. It’s currently in private beta, and I was happy to get in on the action. I’m still figuring out how useful it can be for me, so right now lots of my charts are just fun little bits of pop culture. I’m very much okay with that.
I think it’s great that you can enter sets of data and then chart them in different ways on the fly. Nice job, Daytum!
My time in the Emerald City is drawing to a close. I feel like I should say something about my time here, but it feels kind of like I’m writing a breakup letter to Seattle. Except it’s one of those breakup letters I ask to be friends with the occasional visit benefit.
It’s been quite a ride, and I wouldn’t take anything for my time here. I’ve been honored to meet some of the best people on Earth in Seattle, worked on some exciting projects. The food and coffee here are some of the best I’ve ever had. And the music isn’t too shabby either.
Now it’s onto Los Angeles to see what Hollywoodland has to offer. I hope for lots more freelance work, sunshine and new friends!
And to The Emerald City, thanks for the fun. I’ll see you again sometime.
Undoubtedly a favorite book of mine. The Zombie Survival Guide is a great handbook on how to survive in the event of a zombie epidemic. Filled with excellent do’s and don’ts that are going to help you stay alive!
I’m also going to check out World War Z. Wonder what the Z stands for, mmm?
After much planning, thinking and a little swearing I’m thrilled to share my new portfolio site with you. It features design work, photography and some other goodies!
In the coming weeks, I’m going to be adding more work as well as other fun enhancements. I believe you’ll be pretty pleased with it all.
If you head over to Thunder Panda, you can print out and make your own paper zombies! How thoughtful of them. They’re super fun, but the I made one got out of control and had a run-in with Dwight. I think he’s starting to turn.
In other news, I apparently have made it a habit of posting zombie/horror-related things this week. Eh, let’s keep it up, shall we?
Saw this beauty over the weekend. It’s an intriguing film about of two sets of half brothers on opposite sides of the socioeconomic fence. They all share a father, but he left one set of brothers in the dust to start a new family. The brothers all meet at his funeral and what follows is a slowly-paced, honest and sad story of revenge, family and spite.
I particularly loved a lot of the photography in the film, some of the shots of Arkansas in there were fantastic. Netflix has it, and I’d highly recommend watching.
One of the things I like the most about the OS X Dashboard is how it can help with your productivity. I wanted to share a three really handy widgets that can really help you get your designey things done quicker.
1) Lorem Ipsum
While I think you would do well to use actual copy wherever possible, sometimes it just isn’t an option. This widget can easily create a word, phrase, sentence, paragraph or custom length lorem ipsum phrase with just a couple of clicks. Super handy! (Download Link)
