Oh man! For those of you in the design and web development world, you realize the importance of a stable work environment. And for that matter, almost everything we do on our computers these days requires a good stable environment. As for me, I have been having some trouble with my computer for a few [...]

After a year chock-full of toy recalls for lead paint, small chokeable parts, and intestine-twisting magnets, parents may have thought the worst was behind them. Well, guess again. Last week brought the weirdest — and definitely the creepiest — recall with the highly publicized Aqua Dots situation. If swallowed by children, the popular toy beads can cause symptoms including [...]

Interesting Article I found at work today. When gas prices continue to rise, where do our thoughts about this really fall? Forbes would have us believe that $100 a barrel oil is a good thing, because it will encourage the development of synthetic oil from coal via a process that was too expensive to commercially develop [...]

I’m not an avid watcher of LA Ink, but a guy that I met in California at the Saddleback Worship Conference a few years ago was recently on LA ink. I thought I would post his segment here. He tells of his time while on staff at church and how he was losing his family [...]

I just finished day one of the new job. What a difference it was from my previous job. Things move at a much faster pace at Hoover’s than they do at FEFC. Although I haven’t learned this the hard way yet, it was pretty obvious today while I was getting my feet wet. More acronyms [...]

I just came back from vacation. I just finished this past week at work logging in a good 60 hours. And I feel like I am ready for another vacation. The past few weeks have been pretty difficult for me at work. It’s been one thing after another with what feels like 50 bosses all [...]

Many of you know that I do some freelance work on the side in my “spare time” these days. I recently started working with a new client a few months ago helping them with their branding, identity, and web presence. My business partner and I have taken countless phone calls and e-mails from this client [...]

The last few weeks on the job have been a bit stressful. One of my good friends and co-workers left his position at the church to take a different job at an agency here in Austin. This move for him was much needed and I’m happy that he is able to move on. But this [...]

I’m at my wits end. My creative end. I have had so many design projects to work on the last few days that I’m not sure I can do much more. If you have ever been in one of those situations where you are spent creatively, it’s where I am right now. And it’s a [...]
