Check out The Homestar Runner Halloween Toon. Not the best one yet, but pretty good still.

I’m really digging this new WordPress theme called Color Paper. I found in a recent post from Smashing Magazine.

It’s Not True – William Fitzsimmons [Music]

Oct 30, 2008 Music of the Moment

Such a great mellow song. It has been labeled as folk, but it seems a bit more than that. The lyrics are a little bit heart wrenching. Not in an over the top fashion, but a real feeling.

I recommend a listen.

Cool CS4 Mailer

Oct 28, 2008 Adobe

I got a cool mailer from Adobe about CS4 Master Suite. It has pop out windows a la spot books that tells the cool features of each of the applications.

Jamie is teaching a blogging class (3rd class in an Internet class). She’s such a great teacher.

There are certain albums that seem to be greater than the sum of the parts. Breach by the Wallflowers was definitely that for me. The first album (Bringing Down the Horse) was a bit too mainstream for me; I have yet to hear a song from this album on the radio.

I recommend listening to it in order, with the exception of Baby Bird. It is a “secret” song tacked on to the last track. It has been separated for your convenience.

Trying out Grooveshark Widgets. I’ll make a post on it when I form and opinion.

Enjoy.

Favorite Muxtape Resurrected

Oct 24, 2008 Music of the Moment

So I miss Muxtape.

There is something about mixed tapes on real cassetes that are so much better than cds or mp3s. I miss being forced to listen songs in order. So a challenge – make a mix. A really good one that is dependent on the order of the songs, and share it with someone else. That is the best reason to make a mix.

Here is my Muxtape. Song number 9 is Lovesong by Adam Craw. He is a friend of mine from high school, and I kind of stole it from his computer. He’s on a mission right now in Washington, so he can’t complain too much. Enjoy.

Notice imeem tends to suddenly reduce songs to 30 sec clips. Not cool for a good mix. I am looking for alternative to sharing a good mix online without getting in trouble.

Another Moo Card Design for MAX

Oct 22, 2008 Uncategorized

So I created another image to be used in making some moo cards to hand out at MAX.

I mostly traced this from an image of Jimmy Page using the new blob brush in Illustrator CS4. I’m going to try to put the images together in After Effects to make a 30 on Max video.

You can see my first design here.
