  1. delete_post and deleted_post

    A little note for myself and anyone else. I have not tested this yet but hopefully I will soon.

    A recent message I received via the contact form:

  4. My Pet Peeves Regarding Job Applicants

    This summer I was on the other side of the job application process for the first time. To be honest, I was appalled with the majority of poor and out right bad applications.

  5. More About CMSs and Sets

    This is a follow up thought to my previous post on this topic.
    In addition to sets of users and content elements, I realized there also needs to be sets of sets. I do not mean sets which are the union or intersection of other sets. I mean sets where the elements are sets themselves. It […]

    Quick question, what font-face does the Helvetica Documentary Film website use for actually text (do not be confused by the amount of text which is actually images)?
    The answer: Verdana.

  9. Creative Integrity

    Today I read, in HOW magazine, “creative integrity” which is a term I hear a fair bit thrown about by graphic designers.
    “Creative integrity” is a term I hear thrown around by graphic designers; and since I am new the scene, it is new to me.  I did not give it too much thought until today […]

  10. MySpacing with the Da Bay Deuce

    Is it beneficial to create a MySpace profile as a professional graphic designer (not a personal profile)? This was the question recently asked upon the Washington, DC AIGA listserv. The conversation was summed up well:
