For Sale: Two Nice Computer Monitors

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

I have two sweet monitors sitting in my basement. My inner geek tells me to keep them, but they are collecting dust and taking up space, and I’m not sure when I’ll ever use them again. They are sweet though.

Elena’s First Laugh

Originally uploaded by mushin.

Elena has a new trick. Tonight we were taking some pictures of her and Nancy. I was trying to get her to smile, and so was making goofy faces and noises and heard the most amazing sound I’ve ever heard [...]

The Opposite Of Play Is Not Work

Monday, October 9th, 2006

I am a Web designer by trade. I’ve been doing it for seven years and have gotten fairly proficient at it. I love doing what I do. It is a very exciting, fast-paced, ever changing, and very influential field. It was a hobby that someobody once started paying me to do. [...]

I sat down to do some work this afternoon. This came out instead. It’s very 8th grade art, I realize, but it was created with Adobe Fireworks which is supposed to be used for creating Web sites. I “painted” it [...]

The New Rock Web Site!

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Well, after months of agonizing over the design, and a few weeks of coding, including a rather intense week last week (basically I did this site, a full time job, on top of another full-time gig that I took on. I was pretty burnt out.), the NEW ROCK WEB SITE has finally launched!

The old [...]

(r)evolve Is HERE!!!

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

At long last. I have several cases of beautifully wrapped CD’s waiting to be delivered to pre-order-ers, as well as distributed to anyone willing to shell out the meager $10 bill it will cost you :)

We appologize that it took so long, we learned a lot in the process, and it is definitely worth [...]

Coming Up For Air

No, we aren’t, (for now, anyway) but my good buddy, fellow Web designer, and pastor of The Well in Philadelphia, Todd Heistand and his wife are. Please stop over to their Web site where they have posted about the adoption, read their story, consider chipping in…

Peace.

Amazing Web Site-ings

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

I’m thinking of adding my “Amazing Web Site-ings” (see off to the right…) to the main section of my blog. This would mean more frequent posts, but would also mean more very short, trivial, fun, and interesting links added to PlanetRock, etc, rather than having to come to my site to see them.

I only [...]

Attention NotOurHome bloggers!

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

I have just upgraded the MovableType software that NotOurHome lives on. This means changes in many possible things, not the least of which is the way things look when you log in. I’m not sure the extent of the changes, or if everything still works, so if you run into any problems, let [...]
