Little Creek Sanitarium Launch

The Little Creek Sanitarium site went live last night. Some may remember the logo that I designed for them. This is a site I’m proud of and they have been a great client.
Almost all of the work was done remotely, but last week I visited Little Creek to take pictures for the site. The staff […]

Plugged

In the past few days my Jon Stewart for President bumper stickers have been mentioned on a couple blogs. I just want to show some appreciation in the form of linkage.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is a blog that discusses just what you’d expect. It is relatively new, but it’s got good comentary and […]

A recent post on mezzoblue talking about Fitts’ Law has sparked a bit of research for me. Fitts’ Law, says basically:
The time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target.
In the mezzoblue post, Dave Shea complains that Fitts’ Law cannot be applied to links within body copy […]

Filling A Need

I love it. I wrote a post earlier about the Aimee Mann song on the West Wing because I wanted to find out more about the song. That post has become a high ranking Google result for relevant searches. Now it is a source of information (hopefully useful) for others that saw the show and […]

Ultra-budgeting

A few minutes ago, as I was showering, I got to thinking about the expensive, smallish bar of soap sitting in front of me. This bar is not a regular bar of soap. Nay, it is a bar of Neutrogena Face Soap. I purchased it to appease my girlfriend who complains about showering at my […]

Disappointed Perverts

The search term that brings the most vistors to my site is “transvestite”. I see it in my logs so frequently that I didn’t have to look it up to spell it just now. But, you ask, “why does ‘transvestite’ return your site,” and some of you may be asking, “are you a transvestite?” To […]

On Saturday, Mike Freeland and I went to Signal Mountain and rode. The weather was cooler and less humid than the usual TN summer weather. We started at one of the lower trailheads and rode to Edward’s Point, which overlooks the Tennessee River. Then we rode out a different way and back to the car […]

I love all of this guy’s art, and there are a few that I would like to own, but this one [chrisbishop.com] struck a chord. Ahhh.

I Love Collegedale

I live in Collegedale, TN, and I love it. I’ll tell you why.
This morning I noticed that my keys weren’t in any of their usual resting places. The last time I remembered seeing them was after playing racquetball last night. While I’ve never lost a set of keys, it isn’t unusual for me to […]

No Global Navigation

I’m currently working on a site with some interesting needs, but I’m sure they aren’t unique. Specifically, the site has three separate audiences whose needs overlap almost not at all.
Audience 1 is by far the most important. Most of the site’s content will be focused on audience 1. Audiences 2 and 3 are less important […]

Gone Quiet

My loyal readers (yes, this means you Jon and Montie) may be wondering where I’ve been for the past week. I didn’t go anywhere, but this week has been a little different. Here’s why:

Heather got back this week and I’ve been spending time with her.
I’ve been trying to get to bed a bit earlier (read: […]
