Today after work I looked through Emil Ruder’s Typographie and decided to start explore digital typography using LZX.
The first thing that I attempted was to reproduce the image on the cover of Typographie using whatever fonts I could find on my system. Maybe I’ll get into creating my own digital font like my friend […]

I started reading DUNE: The Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert - son of the author of the original Dune series - and Kevin J. Anderson on Monday night. I’m not yet sure how I feel about the style of the younger Herbert - the book reads a lot more quickly and doesn’t have the […]

Last night I went to Macromedia’s annual corporate party at The Fillmore San Francisco with Sarah Allen. Sarah and I both worked at Macromedia before we moved over to Laszlo Systems. I think this is th elast real hurrah before the Macromedia/Adobe merger goes through.
The bar was open, the music and […]
I went to EFF’s 15th Anniversary Party. Three founders spoke about their experience founding the organization back when they were heavily involved in the WELL before the Interweb was hip - Mitch Kapor, John Gillmore and John Perry Barlow. (who co-wrote lyrics for the Greatful Dead for 15 years)

Last night I went down to Secret Studios to help my buddy Brad out and compose cello & trumpet parts for parts of a song. I remembered just how much I […]

I got my first PalmPilot back in 1998 as a gift from my parents. I thought it was pretty cool but found it clunky and a bit tough […]

I looked through my log files using the Urchin web analytics tool provided by MediaTemple, where my blog is hosted. It looks like Google purchased urchin earlier this week.
I realized that 16,959 page-views that I’ve had so far this year, 5163 of them came from a blog spammer trying to add messages […]
In January I started a new job as a Software Engineer at Laszlo Systems - designing and developing kick-ass applications on top of the platform that’s now called OpenLaszlo. The general idea of the Laszlo Presentation Server is similar to the idea behind the Flex server that I worked on at Macromedia - developing […]
I just finished teaching a 5 week seminar course at UC Berkeley extension. The students had a wide variety of technical experience & came from a wide variety of backgrounds - from old Cobol programmers to Flash newbies to Information Architects to a fine artist interested in developing his own portfolio site.
I really enjoyed […]
