I’ll be attending the “Mastering Photoshop CS2” seminar in Atlanta on August 21st. It looks to be a pretty cool mix of classes. It’s been a while since I attended a seminar specifically on Photoshop, so it’ll be nice to be able to “sharpen the saw” with tips and tricks learned from this seminar. Learn… Continue reading Mastering Photoshop CS2

MySQL and Site Stability Issues
I’ve been having some technical issues with the website over the past few days. If things are acting up for you, please let me know.

Combatting Blog Spam

One Month Down
Saturday marked the end of our first month in our new home. We’re not completely settled in yet, but we’re getting there. I wish I could say it’s been completely stress-free, but it hasn’t been. Our house turned out great, but I’ve struggled with dealing with the contractors working on our street. We’ve had several… Continue reading One Month Down
Wherefor art thou, Basecamp?
UPDATE: It appears the problem has been resolved. Though I am still curious to know what happened… Is it just me, or is Basecamp (and all of 37Signals’ websites) down now? None of their sites is resolving for me now. I know they just moved their servers recently…and perhaps this is related to that move… Continue reading Wherefor art thou, Basecamp?
