web dreams
Hey, this is my blog. After 7 years with Blogger, I’ve finally moved on. Now I’ve consolidated my old link log and journal into one WordPress blog.
Cybil found this new artist she’s obsessed with. Some of it is too creepily maternal for me, but this one entitled See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil and Do no Evil is gorgeous:

If you are an art dealer, perhaps visiting from the paintings page, would you be interested […]
link: Cthulhu Podcast
In time for Halloween, a podcast with readings from H.P. Lovecraft. Well, one reading anyway, it’s a monthly podcast that started this month. Great production value, 1920s music and excellent narration (hard to go wrong with a British accent).

Damn. I’m glad I’m not a Verizon customer, it would be a pain in the ass to get out of my contract if I were.
I’ve just spent almost the entire month of September serving jury duty on a civil case brought by Mr. Park, a member of the Los Angeles Korean community, against Wells Fargo Bank. Let’s see if my notes on the trial can be less painfully drawn out than the trial itself.

link: Photoshop Secret Shortcuts
Some familiar, some new, all esoteric. But key commands are what it takes to be really fast in Photoshop.
link: Brand New: Photoshop 2.0: The Wrong Kind of 2.0
My first reaction after installing CS3 was, “What were they thinking?” They’ve taken everything that is wrong about web 2.0 design and totally sold out. I didn’t know about the color wheel of different products, and since I only use Photoshop I don’t really care. I […]
link: Cardboard Cat Lounge
Dude, for $250 I’ll make my own, but what an awesome idea! Oh, and we got a new kitten. More on that later when I find my damn media card reader.
link: Accessify: Teach a Man to Fish (or How to Resize Text)
I had this same thought a while back, but without the clever biblical analogy. My thought was, we put all this effort into coding our websites well, using sane font sizing, making the layout flexible (within reason: jello mold), but do we tell our […]
