IF: Canned (uploaded by DRA Studio)

Here is my entry into last week’s theme of “canned” on Illustration Friday.

I know, I know. I took forever and almost 7 days to post this! Literally, I barely made the cut-off before the new week’s theme! But you can trust that I did do this last Friday (I wouldn’t think of lying to you … honest). I have just been completely swapped by client work and finishing up the semester strong for my student(s).

I had planned to at least darken some of the lines and even add color, but again, time has gotten away from me. I hope you still enjoy.

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.

New Illustrative – Site (uploaded by DRA Studio)

I just spend the last couple of hours finishing up my CodeIgniter PHP work to get the new Illustrative launched. Have a visit and let me know what you think.

IF – Juggle (uploaded by DRA Studio)

Here is my entry for this week’s Illustration Friday theme, “juggle”. My current trick is juggling my three awesome jobs … Full Sail, Apple and Illustrative – all with my two little hands.

Oh, and why am I in my underpants? Who knows. Isn’t just like life for you to be at your best, but still everyone only sees the embarrassing stuff?

It feels good to get back into the swing of things and let loose on the posts. I toyed around with the idea of migrating to yet another blog system, but it is so hard to find a great client that supports Textile (which I am sick on now, thanks to BaseCamp) and with the recent re-domain-ing, SimpleLog seems to be pushing this out just fine.

So what has been filling my eyes and head recently, you might ask?
