Its taken me a while to be able to sit down and write a summary about finishing grad school, but here it is in a nutshell: I’m done! :) That convoluted thing you see above was the title, and basically it meant that I was thinking about how technology … Read More →

My weekend, choc full of excitement.
This weekend was filled to the brim with activity, most of it with the scoobs up in Boston. So much activity, in fact, that I am dragging and tired on this sunny Monday morning, and feeling slightly congested like I might get a cold at any moment. But … Read More →
Desktop Manufacturing
This week I tried out two cool services: Ponoko and Spoonflower. Both are new entries in a little niche called desktop manufacturing, where you can design something at your home computer and have it fabricated in small quantities without sacrificing quality or paying heavy setup fees.

Hot off the presses..
Today was my final review for Digital Type Design, where we all brought 17 copies of a specimen of our type face and then collated them into a book that each of us could take home. Then we went through each person’s typeface and got feedback from … Read More →
Six Degrees of Separation: Stephen Fry
I spent most of my Sunday desperately trying to get some work done, but kept myself entertained by finding excellent podcasts and YouTube videos to stream in a little window on the corner of my monitor. The best one by far was from a BBC Series called … Read More →
Photos scanned, finally!
I finally managed to locate a window of time when the photography department offices were actually open (a tougher challenge than one might hope) and retrieve my final portfolio from Wintersession. And THEN I managed to find a window of time to actually sit down and scan them … Read More →
