Rapid Weaver, NCD themes

I had a great customer service experience from Nick Cates of NCD Themes.

I needed help with some Mootools Jquery scripts, and Nick sent me an old tutorial video to get me back in action fast.

Valentines day graphic design project

 This graphic design project, is actually quite simple, but can yield great results. So it's Valentines Day, and you need to do something romantic. How about a custom wine bottle? Well the bottle itself, isn't custom, but by applying your own label it is! I created a custom wine label badge for my better half, and she thought it was thoughtful and creative. The label had her name on it, in a nice serif font, and even showed the date range we have been together for, similar to how wine has a date. I added an emblem or a crest and some fleur-de-lis style effects. It was finished off with a label which said, "open only for life's finest moments", and it was made to look like a tag, complete with a hold punched in it, for a ribbon to tie it to the bottle. The finishing touch was stating it was a "Classic Reserve", as if that was the name or brand, and it sounded good to me, and we both enjoyed it. So if you're a graphic designer and need a fun and easy idea for a little romance, this is a great project, just make sure you can print full size label paper on your color printer, and your all set!

Latest Good Book

The last book I recently finished was called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.

There are really only two characters, a young man on a journey to discover how to "solve man kinds problems" and well, for sake of not spoiling the book, another character.

This one took me back to my late nineties reads such as: Celestrine Prophecy, Tales of Power, and The way of the Shaman.

This is a read all through the night book, which will give you a different look at the state of mand kind.

Good Books

Occasionally I will recommend a great book.

A couple of weeks ago I finished Next, by Michael Crichton. I have read several of his other works, and would definitely reccomend this. If you have any fascination with the medical industry or genetics, this one is for you, reads like a fast mystery novel!
