I forgot to finish this post in time to add it to the Illustration Friday archive, but I hope you still enjoy the napkin sketch and this bit of rhyme.

They amass upon the cliffs,
seeking to find an sustaining ledge.
In pursuit of a welcoming host,
their fall upon him is swift.

Dark is their interest,
deep is their intent.
From within the bellows,
they are seeking and are yet to be content.

The past week or so has been one late night after another … staying up until 5 am, sleeping until noon, getting ready for lectures and then doing it all over again.

The plus is that I am shaving stuff right off of my pending to-do list and keeping up with my development schedules. Yay for on time work!

Enjoy this composite. It is for Jason Padgett. I am off to finally get some sleep this morning. :D

Open in Textmate (uploaded by DRA Studio)

Had a really fun lunch meeting with one of the WDD (Web Design & Development and) degree course directors yesterday. It is so enjoyable being able to sit around and talk about web standards, markup and CSS syntax. Yes, Courtney, that is really nerdy … but still, so much fun.

For all of you coding-kids, Chris dropped a little script on me that I am finding really handy. MacroMates, the guys behind Textmate (pretty much the best code editor ever), put out a Finder toolbar script called “Open in Textmate”. It does exactly what you would think … make it easier to open files and folders right into Textmate. Super helpful, since I don’t have TM set as my default editor for HTML and CSS files.

Check out the full post, as well as this other that talks about customizing the icon for the script.

It’s two in the morning,
she didn’t wait up.
I’d rather be sleeping,
but instead I’ll be tough.

I am so very tired,
feeling entirely mired.
Not really be life or things gone wrong,
but mainly as one with cheek to tongue.

I’ll think I should go code now,
design something pretty.
This has just been a brief intermission,
a “time-is-passing” ditty.
