In All Reality

Sometimes you make an observation that must be written down for posterity, a thing that you constantly ruminate but yet never seem to place into words. Sitting at a traffic light, I was finally able to take one such ambiguous viewpoint and crystallize it into something worth sharing.

It has been a little less than four months since I married my wife. These are my reflections on that day and some of the events leading up to it; a brief narrative of a day that is already blurry but will (paradoxically) be burned into my mind for the rest of my life.

We bought a house… 6 months ago. With time comes clarity, and with clarity comes the need to document the experience. Read on about our decisions, reasoning, a synopsis of the experience, and what we learned.

I love World of Warcraft… except for when I suck at it. Follow my journey down the road of discovery as to why I was failing to pump out that oh-so-important damage potential. I cover some of the basic stats important to dealing damage and explain what was causing my little “glitch”.

A brief recap of the recent months and the gap in posting. Life marches on to an interesting beat.

We all have moments when we come to the realization that our heroes in life are, in fact, human. I’d recently experienced this sensation in regard to a professional idol. But it made me realize that I’ve grown enough in my career that I’m able to look at someone who was previously infallible in a more objective sense, and that is an emboldening feeling.

Organizational skills are very important in all businesses, but maybe none more so than when working in a creative or development environment. We lay out some good tips and rules of thumb to remember when organizing your resources, and reminisce of various situations where poor organization led to chaos or time was saved by good practices.

I love what I do.  I love designing for such a dynamic environment as the web.  I love the challenges inherent in a medium as fluid and malleable as a web page.  I love the interactivity with the audience that completely devoid from formats like print and video.  I love it….except for the last step…

It’s always a good idea to try and learn from your peers.  I try and follow the articles from industry experts and other people influential in web design and development on a regular basis.  And in doing so the other day, I found this post by Jason Santa Maria.  Cameron Moll left an interesting comment…
