• Inspiration from Cabel

  Oct 08 19 cabel, design, Inspiration, print, wedding

  

  I haven’t been this inspired in a year, or around a year. Well, heck I don’t know how long its been – but the last thing that inspired me this much was sneak peeks of Street Fighter 4’s watercolor-y goodness. I was obsessed with the Street Fighter series as a youngster (maybe it was Chun Li), but enough about that. This post is about Cabel Sasser’s wedding.

• My twitter list

  Sep 27 5 friends, interweb, social, Twitter

  Yeah twitter is a big deal. But what makes it fun? People. It’s all about real people that create real conversations. Following someone on twitter that never replies to you is a celebrity, not a friend. Maybe that’s your bag or maybe its not. It’s not my bag. I like real people that are [...]

• Eye-catching Illustrations

  Sep 19 10 Illustration, Inspiration, Logo

  
  I’m a sucker for a sweet illustration, especially a vector illustration if you can’t tell. Every once in awhile I run across a sweet one and it really inspires me to get more detail oriented. I’m a details guy – that’s how I roll when it comes to design at least. Here’s a few of them that I’ve seen on the web lately…

  Sep 04 7 class, JavaScript

  Ok. Simple and sweet. I wish I would have known about this a few years ago. I’m talking about the idea of a JavaScript function that can be used like a class. Here’s what I want:

  Simple class interface that I can instantiate with new Classname
  Public functions/members
  Private functions/members
  Priveleged functions/members
  Static functions/members

• CSS Sliding Sprite Windows

  Sep 01 18 CSS, techniques, xHTML

  
  I want to share a CSS technique I’ve used alot. I’m sure that you have seen CSS sprite techniques that utilize changing background position on hover to change a link’s state. Also, they have the added benefit of keeping from loading images on hover, limiting lag. This technique is very similar, but works like a charm for IE6 and PNG images. I know this may be a moo point at this stage, because IE6 is on the outs, but still works beautifully as a technique.
