Excuse Me While I Squeal
Nothing like exciting news to break a four-month blogging dry spell, I always say. So guess what? Both my blog and my portfolio site were featured in the recently released Web Designer’s Idea Book by Patrick McNeil, the creator of DesignMeltdown.com!
I finally got my copy in the mail yesterday, and I spent approximately four and half minutes giggling with glee. Forgive my excitement, but this would probably be the one and only time my name would be mentioned in a book. I’m allowed to be ecstatic!

The Sky Above Our Office
Our office has a small courtyard filled with large potted plants, some taller than I (and one we named Gilbert, just because). Sometimes when I get sick of staring at my computer, I step out for a few minutes of sunshine.
In other news, my online portfolio is a finalist at Unique CSS. If it ranks highest at the end of the month, I will get $25. Cue shamelessness. If you have a bit of time, drop by and give my site a 7 rating!

Instant Photo Effects
What do you get when you cross a glossy computer screen, a dark desktop wallpaper and a digital camera? Instant photo effects!
That’s me, as reflected by my office iMac. The adorable Skitch wallpaper that has been on my desktop for the past two months superimposed bright pink waves on the photo. Pretty nifty, if I do say so myself.
Not quite as nifty are the specks of dust on my monitor. A word of advice: if you plan to do this, wipe your screen first!
Speaking of wallpapers, my doodle desktops are now available in four different resolutions. Talk about a long-overdue update
