Living Update #2
Started working on the update, tho I forgot my sketch at work. So I went off of memory and got some divs set up to start filling content into.
Nothing noteworthy tho. Sadly my legs have fallen asleep while sitting crosslegged in bed and the thought of having the rest of my body follow suit seems like a great idea. Even if it is early. Figure I’ll put the TV on sleep and be out in 15 tops.
more updates as I can.

updates in progress…
Living Updates.
Its honestly been a while since I’ve updated my site. Pretty close to two full years now. Ever since I started at TAXI I didnt see the need to actually make updates in any kind of format, blog or otherwise. Having been sucked into the twitterverse I found that way simpler to update, plus having a dedicated iphone app kinda helped this new facination. But I got to dreaming and then got to thinking and then sketching and of course procrastinating and as always have decided to do something with the no amount of time I have, however this time my idea lends itself to the idea of making minor changes over time and then eventually getting to the point where its done…. or the point that its never done and it evolves along the way.
So simply put I have a loose sketch, a stripped down flowchart of what I want to accomplish and no desire to even make a Photoshop comp of the aforementioned sketch. Everything will be built on the fly based on whats going on in my head, documented here at every time I’m done for the time being. Updates could be big, or small even not noticeable at all.. One thing that will remain constant is a header info bar giving a slight detail about this project and a link to the blog where I’ve explained it in more detail. Mostlikely this post right here.
Is this exciting at all? Hardly, but its going to provide me some sort of additional creative outlet where the rules are slightly different, which could be a good thing… at the very least.

OLPC
we at TAXI (my day job) launched the new equation site for One Laptop Per Child last week. We urge everybody to take a second to visit and make an equation. Then grab the embed code and post it on your blog, link it up on facebook or do the old fashioned thing and email it to somebody.
This was a tremendous effort accomplished by my co-workers Jeff and Matt. I sat idly by making HTML thank yous while these two cranked out this site under a deadline most people would fear.

digg dialogg - Al Gore
current tv is being bunk here is the link
http://current.com/items/89504054/current_presents_digg_dialogg_al_gore.htm
just got around to watching this… right off the bat kevin gets into apple fanboydom with the mention that al is on the apple board of directors. Nice to see that Al is up on the tech of the new macbook pro when he mentions the gestures to kevin….
its great to see al take the time and answer some user generated questions. all of them mostly well answered for being totally unprepared.
well played.

Dr. HOOK x the hills
part of being who I am and what I do involves knowing wht different things look like. Who made what styles and whatnot. I dont know how often we quote video game interfaces as examples of how things function. We cite title sequences for style or effects. Case in point this clip from the hills I am useing it for stylistic reference for a project, so I screen capped the intro from mtv.ca taking into account that I sit in an office of three people I turned their shitty intro music off and had the good doctor already playing and merrily went on my way and captured what I needed. What I didnt notice was that I was capturing with audio, and the pure magic of dr. hook has bonded itself with this snipit of the hils intro. I kid you not when I say this SHOULD be the intro song.
The original clip in its captured format below.

dashboard
Another dashboard concert in the bag, tho the set was super short… not even an hour and the vibe just wasnt the same as their last acoustic tour… good none the less to fill the lack of dashboar up here in the north… above cover of p!nk, with members of the cab and plain white t’s
