About
21st-Century Mister
I’ve got a designer resume out there, featuring creative samples provided on the corporate and volunteer level, also for fun in training myself on a few processes. The site is put together in a much more cohesive fashion than this casual blog. I grabbed a CSS template that reminded me of my High School colors from Sachem. If you’ve got a Flash player installed, speakers on, and something to drink, check it out for a few minutes. (Click to visit a portfolio site)
Northern roots in southern soil
I’m a native New Yorker that walks to the beat of a ratty-tat-tat, not boom, boom, boom.
When the fair’s in town
The smell of the food, the rides and their lights against the sky that’s just getting dark. All of the colors, the smell of food food food, exciting rides and weird shows. These are few of my favorite things when the State Fair’s in town.
Football provides pleasure for a while
Fan of sports highlights, ESPN radio. Not a traveling fan or stats expert usually.
There is more pep in the step when football’s here. On Sunday, NFL Countdown will hold a man hostage in his own house,
keep some tasks from getting done.
These things add quality-of-life during football season:
- Pre-game shows
- Gameday food from the deli
- Mike & Mike In the Morning
- NFL Live
- Highlights
- Sports Fan Attic at the Mall
- Garnet & Gold game scene
- Good seats at an FSU game
Scare Tactics
Paranormal States, America’s Scariest Places, etc… stuff like that is interesting but bogus, in my opinion. The plumber guys on Ghost Hunters seem genuine but no way—it’s entertainment 1st and accurate depiction of events—last. And what’s with all the “knocks”? What, that’s the only way they can communicate with their new ghost friends?
The funniest? When the ghost hunter walks in and says something like “we’re not here to hurt you…” Really? I thought that if there was say…a supernatural entity in the house – that they’d have the upper hand on that. Besides, you thought you felt something like a tiny tug on your hair and you tweaked for the rest of the whole time there, Mr. or Mrs. Ghost Hunter.
Digital tablet lover
In the last two corporate cubicles occupied, my workstation came with a Bamboo tablet to use for digital drawing. I still have more projects completed though, with the mouse clicks of the bezier tool in Photoshop. I’ll draw a sketch, scan it and build above it on layers, then scrap the scanned art or turn it off before I save out.
Wife for Life
She’s from Utah and I’m from New York. Go figure. All I know is our 1st date destination was her idea—and when she suggested a hockey game at the civic center I knew she was a keeper!
Roll-Over Mania
A digital bio in three pages was an exercise gone haywire. A simple rollover button creation exercise turned into a full-fledged bio collage. Flash was the stomping ground for this project. There’s probably a little too much information shared in this wacky exercise of 2004.
