The Independents Hall website was launched yesterday, and I cannot tell you how good it feels to contribute to an organization such as this. The IH meeting earlier this week left me very anxious for more. Alex has given me the coworking bug and I am studying all I can on the subject. It has [...]

About an hour ago I was informed that this site and Miskeen Originals were featured on The Best Design! This is my debut on a CSS design showcase and I hope it is not the last. It means so much to me to have not just one, but two of my sites featured. Thanks TBD! [...]

Tuesday of this week Alex Hillman and myself meet-up for a couple of beers at Eulogy. I had only known Alex through the PANMA list-srv, where we traded occasional banter.

For the past week I have placed myself back in the hunt for a job. At first I had to decide if I wanted to stay freelance or just finally go out and get that one position that I really wanted, with the employer I really wanted. This is not the easiest task especially for [...]

I do not know about the rest of you but I find inspiration in almost anything. Most of all I find it in the motivation of others work. At my office this week we were all pat on the back for improving the look and feel of our product from its stark beginnings last year [...]
