Reading a few twitter posts tonight and @jowyang posted a funny little note that the president of Sony has a Chumby bedside... and I just had to investigate. I keep wondering if everyone else is having a hard time keeping up with all the new toys. I still have a clock radio (although I use my Blackberry as my alarm clock)
So here's the Chumby.
It's about time someone redesigned the fork. Possibly inspired by the spork - the knork actually allows you to cut most food with one utensil - because of its curved design and special beveled edges.

My very own DeZumo blog. I am happy I found this today. I have been working on my websites and they are coming along nicely. I even have an IGoogle gadget. It is on my website Nature Photography with a Purpose. If you go there you can add the Google gadget to your IGoogle desktop. It shows a new picture everyday. The pictures are of wildlife, wetlands, nature and travel. I developed this gadget to show some of our most beautiful and frag… Continue
Hmm, for some reason these pictures of craggy tough-guy real-man Clive Owen look a little unfeminine. Could you please run the Donna Summer filter over them a few times? Ta!

I remember meeting Rob at Cabana's at the Lab one evening in 2002. He was with his beautiful wife Carol waiting for fellow AIGA members to arrive for a MIX event. Rob quickly saw that I had a misplaced look on my face and after a few minutes of pacing the patio, he invited me to joi… Continue

Hi, my name is Taryn and I joined Dezumo a couple of weeks ago. I live in Irvine and am interested in networking with anyone and everyone on this site. I think the site is a great idea and I'm looking forward to getting more involved with it. I make short films (shoot, edit, etc..) and edit instructional and promotional DVDs for local companies.
I'm not super familiar with how Dezumo works, so any advice on how to become more involved and "take advantage" of what Dezumo has to offer would be gr… Continue

Greetings to all you creatively inclined.
I plan to study Graphic Design in college, almost surely at CSULB.
I am also an aspiring independent filmmaker.
Now I've been studying, researching these two arts for a while now.
But If any of you feel compelled to share your experiences, know-how, and all around any information, you will be greatly appreciated.
I'd also like to become with friends with some if not all of you.
Friends (and contacts) are always a welcome treat.
Thanks again,
Ravenous… Continue

I'm going to San Diego today. Sunday is the San Diego Rock n' Roll Marathon, and I have arranged some crash space with my sister. I got to get things cleaned up and pick up my number today. I will most likely be offline until after the weekend, but easily contacted by phone. But I still have much to do to prepare. Please wish me and the rest of my teammates luck! Time to open a can of haul-ass! Continue

It's Tuesday night, and have the TV on (in the background while catching up on some e-mail and doing some reading) and I just had to write a post about TV advertising.
There are a ton of ads that I love to hate. I started a list to get things going:
1. Head on - Head on Head on.
Their products might work great. Their ads may be cheap and effective, but I still hate their ads (all of their brands)
2. Every single Sonic Ad.
Worship the Coney? yuck. Every time I see one of these ad… Continue

Hi, everyone.
I thought this one was worth sharing with everyone (thanks for sending Olivia).
Unfortunately, I didn't get a perfect score until I played it a couple of times, but a good little challenge for the rest of you font geeks.

Comic Review of Teo, 2 May, 2008
Yes, it's been a while since I wrote one of these things. The main source for this is on my LJ at spiderteo.livejournal.com. So I guess I will write about some of the recent comics that struck me within the past few weeks. I won't be reviewing each comic that I get, but rather, I will focus on the issues that make an impression on me and some of the titles that might be hyped up. Also, I may also review multiple-issu… Continue

There were times I was working on a file/layout and it was 10MB and it would take 20+minutes to Save or Print. (Going up-hill both ways... yeah, I know...)
Today the same thing was happening to me but the file was 1+GB Illustrator file. Crazy... things change yet remain the same. Continue

I am looking for a developer to do some project based work to start and potentially, if it's the right fit, bring them on full time.
What am I looking for you ask...
Junior level PHP/Open-source developer
Basic knowledge of MySQL
Most importantly, someone who is a quick learner
I might even be willing to do an internship with a senior year student, but they need to have some want to do development. The problem I've had with Design interns who want to be "Web designers" is that they have absol… Continue

Three attractive young women gathered for dinner and drinks at The Clubhouse last night around 7:00PM. They ordered a bottle of Zin, crabcakes, a Kobe beef burger and a steak (sirloin I think). The food comes to the table just as a male server walks by and calls out, "Ata Girl!" as the… Continue

I found This Link recently.
There are these types of contests all over the net. I know the internet makes things more accessible to people. I also know that there are people out there that will do 'our' work for cheap.
I think $250 is really too cheap for a logo and the contest part leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It cheapens what we do.
What do you think?
Good or bad...? Continue

What a boring fuckin' conference! No wonder why the world will die from global warming. I couldn't help from falling asleep. From day 1 to almost the end of day 3 (i couldn't last another hour). Well, going out every night didn't help. Thanks Club Confidential!

Social networking is also increasingly important to Orange County’s creative community of graphic designers, photographers, programmers and the like. For creatives, networking has always been an important avenue to find resources, employment and become part of the local creative community.
In my experience, most creative talent is found and hired through word of mouth. I myself have found my last three positions, here in Southern California, thro… Continue
