Four Things : 25 January 2006

Oh my, I’ve been tagged. Thanks, Mr. Simonson.

Jack of all trades? : 16 January 2006

Website design in itself involves several disciplines, so if you compound that with the more traditional medium of print, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.

Shiny and new : 11 January 2006

I’m sitting here in my office waiting on my Epson to finish printing six copies of a 40-page brochure, so to pass this time I decided to finally apply the new site design I’ve been working on, as well as catch up on some Textpattern jibber-jabber.

Baker, Santa. Santa, Baker. : 5 December 2005

My parents have told me that I was terrified of the man in red—thankfully, my daughter isn’t.

Housecleaning : 27 November 2005

Happy Thanksgiving to all. It’s Sunday afternoon, Baker is napping, and I’m finally taking a little time to clean up this site and rearrange a few things.

Zoom, zoom, zoom. : 19 October 2005

I began my career in print design, so naturally when I delved into website design I incorporated every trick in the book to achieve a precise layout.

Pairing typefaces : 17 September 2005

Rarely does one select only one typeface or font-family for use in a project. Even the most meager typographic needs require two fonts—a serif and a sans-serif.

Blessed : 1 September 2005

As I absorb all of the stories created by Katrina, I’m certainly happy that my family was far enough north so as not to get the full effect of the hurricane. I’m very sorry others weren’t as fortunate.

It’s finally here! : 21 August 2005

Some very hardworking people have earned a much-needed rest—Textpattern is now available as an official release.

Fleischmann interpretations : 25 June 2005

This is a great review of currently available digital interpretations of Fleischmann’s work (and/or Rosart, as well).

Bergquist’s Madrigal : 20 June 2005

I’ve long been interested in the fonts of Lars Bergquist. They don’t seem to be overly popular, at least in the United States, but he and his designs interest me a great deal.

Is it Flash or Tiger or both? : 4 June 2005

I’ve recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) and, for the most part, it’s been great. But there’s one tiny detail that’s about to drive me out of my mind—and I’m hoping someone out there can help me.

I love it when I get an invitation. I’ve been handed the baton from Jared, so, here goes…

I’ve had three different employers since I graduated college in 1996, all which have taught me certain skills that have propelled me forward in my career.

Pardon me : 17 April 2005

Please excuse any weirdness as I am upgrading my Textpattern installation.

Coming soon : 13 March 2005

Fellow Textpattern user Mark Simonson has announced the upcoming release of Proxima Nova, an expanded OpenType version of his 1994 sans serif font, Proxima Sans.

Finally, more pictures : 5 February 2005

I’ve amassed a few hundred photos of Baker at this point, but I’ve seriously slacked in my duties to share them with the world (or more specifically, my family).

Sneak peek : 28 January 2005

This has been sadly neglected for some time now, but I’m trying to make time and give it the attention it needs.

It’s fairly common knowledge that, in the print world, black text on a white page is the norm for easy reading.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) offer a world of possibilities, but trying to get them to work consistently takes me back to the days when I first began learning the quirks of table-based layouts.
