Dear Online Statements, I have paper records that go back ten years. Ten years. These records do not expire. You propose that I enroll in a “convenient” system that forgets my records after a mere 18 months. If I want to access records older than that you will charge me a fee and send them […]

JJ Abrams Is All Over The New Star Trek Movie

And the world is a better place for it. Location names are set in Futura. Come to think of it, Futura is all over the place. They discuss “Slusho” in the bar at the beginning of the movie. I swear one of the doctors who delivered James Kirk was the scientist from the Dharma Initiative […]

Dane and James’ Lost Dreams

Chances are my handwriting is blowing your mind right about now, so allow me to translate: “Dane and James’ Lost Dreams!” Cruise Ship + Roller Coaster = Awesome. Smoke (cruise ship also makes dirt bike sounds) BRAAP-BRAAP! PROBLEM: No one is signing up for spring break in Cancun for 2010… some say it’s too early, […]

Today was one of the best days I’ve had in months, and I don’t think it can be entirely attributed to my massive caffeine intake. I spent my entire morning grading assignments, drinking yerba maté, and watching small birds dine at our feeder. We are most frequented by house finches, and at one point we […]
Don’t make me experience prototype your face.

I have at least three projects due in the next week, each of which demands that I know a different piece of Adobe® software, including Illustrator, Premiere Pro, InDesign and After Effects. My love affair with Adobe® is well-documented, as is their software, which features tons of videos put together by kind people who explain […]
Wood Type for All

Ever since I became aware of its existence, I have wanted to visit the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers. Until then I will have to be satisfied with drooling over the Unicorn Graphics Online Wood Type Museum, which features a digital cornucopia of specimens from a bygone era. The centerpiece of their online […]

There’s just something kinda cool about being in the ACM Digital Library: If you’re a hopeless nerd, that is.

Our trip to Boston was great. Our favorite part was the cemeteries. The CHI Student Design Competition went well. Our poster went through about fifteen revisions until we called it good, but all that hard work definitely paid off: Out of twelve finalists who presented posters, our team was one of four chosen to advance […]
