Wireframing with Mockingbird
Earlier last week on Twitter I saw someone post a link to Mockingbird. I have enough trouble convincing project managers and sales people that wireframes are worth the time, so anyway to do them faster and easier I’m all for. I signed up for an account and laid out a sample page. The first thing…
Daily Components
While finishing up the same roll of film, I was looking around my cubicle for inspiration. I realized the few items I have with me everyday are my MacBookPro and my iPhone. Coca-Cola is something I only recently started drinking, in moderation, but I liked how the curvy logo looked against the straight lines of…
Forecast
My coworker got me this kidrobot dunny, which I love. I was trying to finish up a roll of film and started playing around with this little guy on top of the cubicle walls. I liked how the light from the windows backlit him and created this great light.
Opportunities
I forget sometimes how lucky I’ve been in life. This happens often since I’m typically consumed by the current moment and how it may or may not be living up to my standards. Perspective and time often help rectify this situation. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some very talented people over the years,…
The Power of the Computer in your Pocket
Americans have access to: 1,000,000,000,000 web pages 65,000 iPhone app 10,500 radio stations 5,500 magazines 200+ cable tv networks Pretty impressive numbers. The folks at XPLANE™ have created another video educating and inspiring the community. This is from their Did You Know series. We forget sometimes how much things have changed and what kind of…
Southford Falls Long Exposures
Wednesday had an unexpected downpour in the afternoon, right when Kelly and I were supposed to be meeting to shoot photos at Southford Falls. It didn’t look like it was going to pass in the next 15 minutes so we opted to reschedule. By the time I got home it was dry and I decided…
SAAB: Change Perspective
I stumbled across SAAB’s microsite called “Change Perspective” tonight, all I can say is I’ve been back to it 5 times to play with it and sent it to several friends. Flash has been of much debate in the web design community. Some vehemently oppose it, others think it’s the solution to everything. My feelings…
Lincoln Woods
While on vacation we had planned to get some biking in. I’ve been pretty out of it this past year. Also it’s not advised for Craig while he has his neck issue. We finally got a break in weather on Wednesday and we headed into the National Forest to the Lincoln Woods trail. We talked…
Myra
I snapped this photo quickly with my Canon SD550 to show my sister in law how the portrait mode worked. When I downloaded it from the camera I loved how it came out. I started tweaking it by shifting it to black and white. Then Craig and I thought, “this would make a perfect album…
The Great Mail Debate
I’m toying with the idea of forwarding my .Mac/.Me email account to my GMail account. The reason being is I’m getting a lot more email into the .Mac account it’s getting kind of hard to keep up with it via Mail. I’ve got a good system of organization but I’m duplicating between my GMail account…
The Perfect Bike Photo
Clumber, originally uploaded by publicenergy. Another excellent photo from Dave over NotSoWildLife.com. I LOVE how this came out. The clouds are so dramatic, the geometrics of the sidewalk with the old stone and the great looking bike. I might request getting this printed.
Tilt by publicenergy
Tilt, originally uploaded by publicenergy. I had to share this photo from Dave over in the UK. He takes incredible photos of critters. Check out this blog at http://www.notsowildlife.com/
Portraits
While in Maine I shot two photos I think came out very well. My sister in law and mother in law. We were sitting outside trying to miss rain drops waiting for lunch to be ready.
Sleeping in and the sun
The sun was shining! I slept in pretty late today, and was a bit cranky when I got going. Everyone was up already and heading out the door and I was still trying to wipe sleep from my eyes. I opted to just stay back with Craig. We took our time getting up but got…
A Trip to Acadia
Thursday was the one day with a guaranteed window of sun. We decided to head down as a group to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Our first stop was to Bar Harbor Bike Shop to rent Kerry a bike. My CR-V was fully loaded for the day, 2 kayaks and 3 bikes. We headed…
Biking and Shopping
Wednesday the weather finally let up. We all took advantage of the satellite dish getting some coverage and hopped on the internets to catch up on life. Kerry, Craig and I explored the peninsula we’re staying on via bike. The mosquitos kept us moving briskly. If I went too slow on hills, they’d be right…
Rain Rain Go Away
Tuesday was spent indoors dodging the rain. It torrentially poured many times during the day. We tried to use the internet, but due to the heavy low clouds the satellite wasn’t getting through. I read, I knitted, I napped.
Bike Parts and the Schoodic Peninsula
I woke up pretty early this morning. Craig and I chatted for a while, I did some work on the computer, and then went back to sleep at 7:30. Then I didn’t wake up again until 10am. Marty made everyone waffles and we debated on what to do with the day. I was still under…
