MinuteFix Contest Entry
· CommentsI am a Certified MinuteFix technician, so today I wandered over to the technician blog and found a contest to come up with a slogan. I think Diego Orjuela liked my suggestion. He made a demo of it on a graphic t-shirt.
Juan Francisco Casas, Artist Extraordinaire
· Comments
Juan Francisco Casas is the best up and coming artist I’ve seen. I love to troll art sites and always keep my eyes open for news features of artist, photographers, and videographers that really impress me. Maybe I’m easily impressed, but see for yourself.
Here’s the story. Casas used to be a painter. About three years ago, his friends apparently challenged him to try to draw some photos of their nights out with a ballpoint pen. Taking a look at these works, I’d say he rose to the challenge and is certainly drawing some attention in the art community. He’s had several exhibitions and sells his works anywhere between $1,000 and $6000 upward.
To see more of his work, visit the story printed at The Daily Mail or his site: http://www.juanfranciscocasas.com
Worst Websites Out There
· CommentsMy Technical Writing class is making fun of poor website design tonight. Check these sites out and feel free to add your own favorites. I’ll create a compilation when all is said and done.
Boring Class = New Theme
· CommentsSometimes class is too unbearable to pay attention. Tonight was one of those nights. The professor is agonizingly bookish weird… you know the type. She loves books that you have no idea what they mean until she says that you’re too stupid to catch all the nuances in the text.
I don’t take to that environment very easily. I had my laptop and Wi-fi card, so I went theme hunting and remade the blog. I’ll have to slap on a new logo later. I have been in the process of re-creating the logo to leave on the old theme, but this is pushing me beyond that.
So far, the votes for this theme are favorable. What say you?
