Sept 11, 2006: A track so good it deserves its own update:
The Cat Came Back, by Mike Treese and DJ Rude One
As featured on a recent episode (316) of This American Life.
Jun 30, 2006: My latest design project is a new site layout for TITAN, the group I am currently working with.
I used Xenu link checker to repair all the broken links. Xenu is a free tool that does a great job. As a bonus it's named after the fictional character that scientology is based on.
Jun 17, 2006: Belief is a design company. Drawing from the world of PR they created the Pollinate Sessions. Pollinate could be described as a how-to for the design process. The advice is easily digestable and could help anyone who works in a creative capacity. The Common Desk examines the desk environment, and Chain Reaction is a primer on breaking habits to create new things.
Each segment is about 40 minutes.
Mar 5: Mark Vidler of Gome Home Productions is on top of the mashup phenomenom. In his mp3 section you can find mind-bending tracks such as Papa was a Clock, Uptight Killer and Rapture Riders (no link because this track is available on iTunes). Rapture Riders and other evidence of GHP's artistry can be found on the GHP Sixx Mixx. As a bonus I'm hosting Atomic Beatles, which is not available from GHP's site. Enjoy! |

No stairways, no human access, fully climate-controlled (non-breathable?) atmosphere. Curious? Here's a video of the machine in action: [wmv, 15Mb] |
Oct 16 Update: Now the travel map placenames are clickable. July 16: A navigable travel map, made possible by the google maps API. |
This seemed like a fitting end for a decade's worth of junk CDs. |
 May 13: I worked on this image with Cappadocia in mind. Cappadocia is a region in Turkey where there are thousands of intact cave dwellings and churches that have been carved out of the rock. |
Apr 22: Google's satellite map feature makes it easy to find both common and not-so-common landmarks. The resolution of the map is better than World Wind in some places like Vancouver. Here are some highlights: Other satellite images: |
