Art Web Sites
Why is it that most art web sites suck? They are usually so bland, hard to navigate, not at all pleasing to the eye. Granted, they may not have a lot of money to spend on web design, but come on? They can do better! For the most part, they also seem very out of…

I went to Borders tonight to look at magazines and catch up on the current design trends and while looking I found two very interesting things. Forbes had an article about Castles for Sale. You can have your own custom castle built, starting at $200k. Can you believe that? You’re very own castle, that’s nuts!…

Last night I went to karaoke with my Aunt Di and her two friends, Dean and Mary. She invited me because the bar is going to have a karaoke contest; I went because I like to sing. I started the evening off with “Excuse Me Mr.” by No Doubt, and did pretty well. It’s a…
