Great Cause. Cool Logo.

From time to time Jeromy and I get to decide whether we want to do work for someone, some organization, or some cause, just because we want to. Did you know that the men, and women, who make up search and rescue teams, all over this country, are all voluntary (actually they get paid $1.00 per year)? They train hard, work hard, put in a lot of hours, and end up saving a lot of lives. Remember the September 12 train collision up in Chatsworth, California? They were among the first responders. My friend, Roger Lebrun, Reserve Captain for the LA County Search & Rescue Team, approached us about a month ago. He wanted a new logo for the team (see below). This non-profit represents 7 teams that are with the LA County Sheriff’s Department. They will use the logo on their new/updated websites, printed materials, vehicles, etc. We were happy to help out. Kudos to Travis Wiley, the designer who helped me out on this one. Nice work, Travis. And a thousand thanks to the Los Angeles County Search & Rescue Team for all the lives they’ve saved, and families they’ve made happy, over the last 50+ years of their existence. We appreciate you folks!

There are many others like it, but this is mine.

alex's best of 2k8

Music to Design, Develop, and Market by? Maybe. All I know is that the goal was to create a killer mix, Alex’s Best of 2k8, comprised entirely of songs that came out this year. Everybody’s doing it. NME, Rolling Stone Singles and Albums (i especially like that that last url is “…albums_of_the_yea”), Spin Magazine… even Dave Brown at Holiday Matinee made a mixtape for Sanctuary143. Well, this one is mine. READ MORE

What does the gift of Christmas mean? READ MORE

Lets get all Elfed up

This Year the elf yourself campaign by Office Max teamed up with comedy media experts Jib Jab to bring on the elf madness. Not only can you upload 5 Hi-Res images but you get to view and send 4 different elf dances. If you have about an hour to compute I recomend you get your elf on.

That’s how you de[bug]!

#1

Yes, I mostly wanted to blog this because of the praise it brought, but if patting your own back after someone else pats it, on a Thursday afternoon, is wrong, then I … I just don’t know. Anyways, the above image shouldn’t have white space inside the non-white, in theory, but it does. And you should have seen it before we got the images working!

Right brain. Left brain.

I’ve always dug industrial design. From the furniture of Charles and Ray Eames, to the Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, to the automotive design of Ferdinand Porsche, and to the great stuff presently being done by Frog Design and others. I recently came across this firm: http://www.suissacomputers.com/ Unbelievable synthesis of art and science… Functionality and form… Use of contrasting materials and textures. Love it. Just thought I’d share it.banenlighten

My Favorite Things : 2.7 is the new 2.6.5

WordPress 2.7 has been released today, nicknamed “Coltrane”. And in case that means nothing to you, where should I begin? WordPress is a most awesome open source blogging system that has been expanded to really become a fully-functional Content Management System. With plugins to allow everything from image galleries (check out WordPress’ creator Matt Mullenweg’s nice setup) to fully customizable Meta-data on every page and post you create (check out what Ron is doing over at the SDInteractive blog), there is something for everyone.
