The Golden Ratio and Web Design

I love Nettuts. They’ve brought us another lovely article here:
http://nettuts.com/tutorials/other/the-golden-ratio-in-web-design/

I remember being fascinated by the concept of the golden ratio as a kid. Good design explained by math?!? What?!?! It suggests a greater organization to this wacky beautiful world we live in.
To me, that’s comforting.

New portfolio site!

Woohoo! That only took 2 years… (really 2 weeks once I sat down to do it.)

If you find any bugs, please just email me.

Don’t be a Whore – a freelancer’s guide to not being taken advantage of

hey hey — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:25:23 +0000

So, it finally happened.

I’ve been working as a full time freelancer for a little over a year now and I finally ran into a client that wants to take advantage of me and my services. The monies in question are less than $1000, but it’s still hitting me hard as work has been slow (thanks to the lovely recession I’m SO TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT) and tax season… that glimmering little spring time gift from the government.

Anyhoo, anger aside… I’ve talked to several folks about it and even found this really great post about the things you can do to avoid being taken advantage of. It’s appropriately title: DON’T BE A WHORE.

I for one, am never going to do a job without a contract again. I’ve only done that 3 times and those are the three payments that I still have pending in my invoice folder. Don’t you love life lessons?

WordPress themes are like dresses

I love that I can just try them on at will – to suit my ever-changing fancy.

F my life

Having a bad day? You’re not alone.

After I read this entry, I was sold:

“Today, as I was getting dressed after having sex with a guy

I like, he told me I looked better with my clothes on. FML”

Even if you’re not having a bad day, this site will still make you feel warm and bubbly inside. They should advertise www.fmylife.com as instant perspective.

POINT PROVEN: It can always gets worse. Count your blessings.
