I’ve always been a fan of Creative Commons, and the flexibility its alternative licencing gives content creators like myself who really just want to see their work in front of other people’s eyes. Getting paid is nice, but often I’m simply shooting photos and writing because I like it. Share it. Remix It. Use it.… Continue reading ERRR Magazine Skating Photos

Thomas the Train Meets Roy G Biv
When Graham was two, he and I arranged his Dr. Seuss collection by spectrum – he thought that was pretty cool, and it hung around for a few months. When opportunity came knocking again, we rose to the occasion. The Island of Sodor has never been the same.
My 1980s G.I. Joe Graveyard
I grew up in the 1980s, so my memories of playing with toys from that era are filled with Star Wars figures, Transformers, and G.I. Joes. In fact, I often cite the 1980s G.I. Joe line as my last love affair with toys as a child. By the time I was done with them, I… Continue reading My 1980s G.I. Joe Graveyard
MacBook Pro Packaging is the Apple of my Sustainable Eye
When you have a MacBook Pro delivered, the nice shiny white Apple box comes inside a less shiny brown shipping box. In fact, the Apple box is suspended inside that shipping box by paper corner pads. While I’m stoked that these packaging pieces are recyclable (Apple does pay attention to the impact of its products),… Continue reading MacBook Pro Packaging is the Apple of my Sustainable Eye

After that, I type them up, upload them to Wordle.net, and… Continue reading Just A Few of Our Favorite Things from 2011
Purple Lego Brick Update
We found another purple lego brick! In 2009, I blogged about how rare purple Lego bricks seem to be, so my boys were stoked when they found the single round piece above. We have always wondered why purple Lego bricks were so rare, considering they were one of the “main” colors. When I did my original… Continue reading Purple Lego Brick Update
Just A Few of Our Favorite Things from 2010
We have a new tradition emerging here at the Norman house: on New Years Eve/Day we create our favorite things tag cloud! *here’s 2009’s* This year during dinner, we each wrote down some of the things we liked from 2010 (we help the little ones). Then I typed them up and sent them through Wordle.net,… Continue reading Just A Few of Our Favorite Things from 2010

Found :: My First Flash Movie from 1998
Back in late 1997, Gabo Mendoza single handedly changed the course of interactive communication forever when he unleashed Gabocorp.com (archive removed!) upon an unsuspecting design world. Flash had been around for a short time, but nobody had ever built an entire site with it. In fact, I’m not sure anyone had even thought to…except for… Continue reading Found :: My First Flash Movie from 1998
