Getting Antsy

A few of the people I like to read have been swapping names and changing hosts lately. This kind of activity is making me antsy to get started on my reinvention of Jasongraphix. I really can’t wait to get my hands dirty with this one, literally. I’ve got an old… 

Best Leftovers Ever

I’ve set aside my usual lunch of tuna on salad for a similarly healthy, but much more tasty meal of reheated Bul-gogi, Gim bap, Gimchi and steamed rice. No, this isn’t take-out Korean, it’s homemade Asian goodness – in Tupperware. Amy and I have been talking to our neighbor Kun… 

Link Runaway Favelet

Nathan Bird, one of the brilliant programmers here at acceleration came up with a new bookmarklet/favelet that he calls Link Runaway. You can only use it in a browser that works (ie. Firefox) but it’s great fun! I don’t consider myself a programmer by any means, but I changed the…

Search Stats

Every once in a while I enjoy taking a look at the usage statistics for Jasongraphix. This really is just a teeny porfolio/blog site that I maintain, but it’s really interesting to see how, when, and why people end up here. Particulary useful is the top search strings. Just to… 

CSS Picture Frame

Although I haven’t reserved much time for it lately, I love experimenting with css and trying to come up with new personal techniques to add to my bag of webdesign tricks. Usually this involves coming up with an idea, checking to see if it has been done, and trying to… 

MovableType vs WordPress

From a designer standpoint, the decision of which content management system to use is very clear. Nearly every one of my regular reads have movable type embroidered into their underwear. Lets face it, Movable Type is to Webdesigners what Apple is to Print Designers (and a lot of webdesigners as…
