Self-portrait


Just finished reading Christopher Moore's new book entitled "You Suck". It's the sequel to "Bloodsucking Fiends". And as always, I think he's the only author that can make me consistently laugh out loud while reading one of their books.

After doing a quick search online, it seems that I can't find any sort of cross-reference chart of all the characters that Moore intertwines throughout his books. Hmmm....and I wonder how come I've never created one myself...

If So Requested

During the 2005 holiday season, the company I work for sent out little pop-up 2006 calendars to our clients. They were kinda cheesy, but people liked them.

This past year, we had the children of the employees draw up some art for the Christmas cards we sent out. The final product was professionally done and a bunch of our clients called us back to specifically mention that they enjoyed the cards.

One of the clients though, jokingly mentioned to a company partner that he didn't get his "cheesy pop-up calendar" this year. So in response to that, we conspired to create a special calendar for this lucky gent. I took a picture of two of the partners and then I pasted them onto some cardstock. We then placed these little pop-ups into a very cheesy 2007 calendar. (After I pasted them onto the cardstock and before they went into the calendar, I set up all the tiny people in front of my boss' door during her lunch break.)

The client loved it. I think this might be the start of a tradition.

So after posting my First Entry, I started tweaking some of the archive code and proceeded to completely screw up the site's design. But what do I do instead of re-tweak the site back to its original state? That's right, I change the design again.

This site is still a work in progress, but I thought it would be a good idea to just continue posting some stuff while I overhaul the site design. If I were to wait until I was satisfied with the links, pages, graphics, etcetera, it would probably be another year before you heard from me again.

The Beginning


Finally.

It's taken me, I think, five years, but I've finally got this portion of the site to a somewhat presentable state. This will be the more personalized, laid-back area of the site where I'll present some images that I hope you'll enjoy.
