One of the goals is to create rolls for people like Developers, Designers, Managers, and Admins with the understanding that the Designer wont have as much use for the Gantt Charts as the Admins. The Admins really won’t want to see all the Developers Code work and so on.

There are a lot of great tools available for people to use on the web, and most of these tools cost money or are limited in one way…

Unlike stencils, time consuming wireframes, and PSD templates, the App Sketchbook allows you to go from idea to paper prototype in seconds.

As of this month I have started a new job as Web Design/Developer at Vision Creative Inc. one of Edmonton’s leading design and marketing firms who is working on the new look and feel for the Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA).

I am working with a great team of excellent designers and am lucky to be in a collaborative environment where I can learn and become a better designer.

The only downside is getting used to my apple keyboard.

I think they also have one of the city’s coolest offices, Pictures will come in time!

I am volunteering what precious free time I have to an Open Source Project called phpCollab. phpCollab has been around for many years and has sat neglected for the past 3 years. Recently new life has been brought to the project by http://www.ideato.it. I will be working on the Wireframeing, Visual Design, and front end developement.

phpCollab is an open source internet-enabled system for use in projects that require collaboration over the internet. Those organizations, such as consulting firms, that rely on a division between firm-side and client-side information will benefit most from use of phpCollab

I have always liked Retro looking pens, I think it has something to do when i was a small kid playing with all the old pens at my grandparents house. While the family was out for the day we stopped in at Notables, a store that sells almost everything to do with paper. Logically pens were also involved. I saw the Porsche Design pens and while nice not really my thing, a bit to Modern and aggressive. Then i came across The Lamy pens.

They were not nearly as expensive as the Porsche Design pens,…

One thing i have an appreciation for is wood, its worm, renewable, long lasting and is relatively easy to work with. The main thing that grabs my attention is the grain of the wood, how each line never intersects and each knot is different than that last.

I came across this company C H A D H A U S and saw a number of there pieces of furniture and realized how good it looks and how simple it is.

Every ones favorite note book, the Moleskine has come out with a Limited Edition Helvetica Notebook. I would love to have one. but i have two “old” ones as it is.

The typeface known as Helvetica is one of the most widespread and recognizable typefaces in the world. In order to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, Gary Hustwit produced and directed a film called “Helvetica” about the birth of this well-known typeface. It is a documentary that explores how typography and graphic design have influenced our lives.

With BluePrint, 960 and other CSS frame works becoming so popular many of them are including a reset feature. My current site design makes use of one. And i admit it took some work to get it set up so things were just how i wanted them.

I have tested the design in Firefox and Safari. I’m not going to fix anything in Internet Explorer because if there are any issued in IE then its not a problem with my CSS, its simply a problem with a browser that doesn’t want to follow the rules. But i really don’t think there will be any issues.

What is 64bit? well it doesn’t mean that your 64bit computer will perform two times faster than a 32bit computer. it really means it has more access to ram. mainly over 4 gigs. so some one using a word predecessor wouldn’t really notice any advantages. But some one opening 200+ RAW photos at 15mb a pop would…

Deliverables:
Make sure your project folder is tidy and free of “crap”. I usually start off with a project folder containing a few sub folders.

- Docs ( Contains any Documents pertaining to the project, PDF, Doc, Links, or Text files )
- Html ( Contains the working code for the site, remember to make backups and date them )
- Source ( Contains Fonts, Stock Photos, Basically any original unmodified file )
