TV will rot my brain

Tags: ,

…but I watch it anyway.
I watched like 10 minutes of Gossip Girl (and the commericials) and I loathe it with a passion. I can’t believe parents let their daughters read these books/watch this show. It’s a bunch of spoiled, rich girls whose main concerns include:

I hope they cancel the show. If they do, it will renew my faith in the human race.
Shows I’m enjoying: Chuck, Heroes, Reaper, Big Shots, Smallville, and Desperate Housewives,Grey’s Anatomy, and Ugly Betty. This is what happens when I do not have to do homework anymore. I watch tv.
I’m looking forward to Pushing Daises, which WIRED touted as the show for designer geeks. I miss having TiVo…. :-(

In my never ending quest to feed my IPod with new music, I came across The Long Blondes (via Critical Metrics) and the newest album from the Donnas (via the Guitar Hero track, Take It Off).

So, they’re filming the Sex and the City movie in the Starbucks across the street. I should really start bringing my digital camera around with me more often…

Blog Redesign Version 4.0

Tags:

sportyredd_mockup_0000_front-page.jpg

So I’m redesigning my blog for the fourth time (well fifth if you consider the flower theme I was working on but decided to not make to the public). Right now I’m using the Plain Jane theme made by someone else as a placeholder theme. It’s simple and chic but it not mine.
I’m doing things a little bit differently this time. Like I’m mocking every page up in Photoshop (using the handy Layer Comps feature) and then producing them in CSS. I don’t think coding the designs would be very hard but it might be slower this time around because I want to write some frameworks while I’m coding this design. Here are more comps: Read the rest of this entry »

Kicking off Creative JavaScript Weekends!
I am inspired by the launch of the CreativeJS website so I’ve decided to do one or two experiments in creative uses of JavaScript either before, during, or after the weekend and blog about them here. These experiments may include some info viz, digital toys, animations, and what not. And all of it will run in current generation browsers through the use of HTML5 and Javascript. So stay tuned. (0)

My first blog post for a major media company
In my last semester of college (2007), I was an intern for MTV’s games news (though it wasn’t MTV News, the way the company divided itself was counterintuitive) outfit. They had a blog and they would occasionally produce online video segments, that would also appear between TV shows. I had to write a post for their blog. More... (0)
