bicycle music festival

Music festival in the middle of a field with no electrical outlet in sight? No problem. Just attach half a dozen cyclists to a bike powered generator and the rock won’t stop. Totally brilliant, totally fun day that included fender-blendered smoothies and endless bike porn.

“Honeymoon For One” Web Release

Candace Roberts

After a few months of scheming and coding – and then re-scheming and re-coding – we finally released the candaceroberts.com website. Candace is a person who mystifies me with her ability to be talented at pretty much everything she lays her hands on. Collaborating with her to create this site meant collaborating with about 22 other people that she had also drawn into the project. The whole site process was a pleasure to work on, which I attribute either to her creative genius or to her maniacal vision of world domination.
Possibly both.

The product is a fairly simple looking interface with rich graphics (thanks to Raf Landa) and spiced up with a lot of jQuery in the background. Experiments with the framework only deepened my love for WordPress, Thematic, and ridiculous drawings of sheep.

Please take a moment to check out hte site and give Candace’s fabulous, fun and fuzzy music a listen!

I don’t even know where to begin with this…

verizon fail

My relationship with Verizon started with an $1800 cell phone bill, and 7 years later it seems that they just won’t let our dysfunctional relationship come to an end. Come on, Verizon – this letter is exactly the kind of incompetence that made it a no brainer to start doling out my hard earned cash to AT&T instead.

There is actually a lot going on in the studio at the moment, but this letter was too mind-boggling to go un-noted.

it’s like the mobius strip of search conundrums

if chrome can't find google, then how would I google for google?

Yes, I actually just received this alert message. And no, I did not try to google for “google.com”. For the record, I was trying to find the article behind the Dachshund U.N., which I’m sure boosts my credibility immensely.

I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser after having a bad falling out with Opera (yes, Micah). I like it for its forgiving nature, its healthy relationship with CSS3, and its wacky sense of humor. If you’re good at breaking things like I am, you’ll get clever little messages like this one:
