This is my all time favorite. Don’t really see any rea­son for any other kind. Mas­simo Vignelli . A true expres­sion of less is more. I use the past months for wrap­ping paper, book cov­ers, and draw­ing paper.

36 x 48 inches!
Buy one and you’ll be addicted.

The Stendig wall cal­en­dar con­sists of twelve sheets printed in black ink on white sixty pound weight off­set paper stock. In ran­dom order, the cal­en­dar sheets for some months are reverse printed pro­duc­ing a black back­ground with white let­ters and numer­als with other months printed in black on white back­ground. The sheets are per­fo­rated along a line just
under the bind­ing strip to allow them to be torn away neatly. The bind­ing strip of the cal­en­dar has three matte
black fin­ish metal eye­lets to facil­i­tate easy hanging.

I’ve been look­ing at some cool new themes for Word­Press that use Sand­box. It’s a great envi­ron­ment to get in and use css to con­trol the look and feel.

Prob­lem is that most of the really cool skins that cre­ate thumb­nails and size images can’t cope with pho­tos from flickr. I almost never upload images twice. I refer to their loca­tion usu­ally at flickr. These cool mag­a­zine and cre­ative lay­out require that I upload the image I want to use. This means that blog­ging about an image located else­where requires a down­load and then an upload. I want to be able to linkback to the orig­i­nal instance for sev­eral rea­sons includ­ing giv­ing proper credit for the image.

I don’t want to ask some­one to write a plug-in or sript for this. Any­one have any ideas?

Hey… this is fun! This is my first attempt at using Skitch. I found out about it from a Flickr friend Colin Devroe. Go over and sign up for the pub­lic beta.

I use SnapZPro for my screen cap­tures and now I have Skitch. I’m using Skitch for fun right now but I imag­ine many other prac­ti­cal uses. But heck, let’s just stick with fun first.

More on this cool app as I experiment.

I had to take a shot of our first hol­i­day tree at our new place. We weren’t sure we would have one for many rea­sons. But we do have an amaz­ing lit­tle tree. It’s a lit­tle bit taller than 7 feet. The star makes it almost 8 feet. It only took about 150 lights this time.
This shot shows sev­eral of my favorites includ­ing the tin toy zep­plin, glass bird, paper stars, minia­ture hats, and hand painted antique balls.

I thought it was about time to visit my flickr friend Jacob and look at some pho­tos. They inspire me in the qui­etest kind of way. It is dif­fi­cult to explain. I just needed to look into his stu­dio and reflect upon what it takes to make art. The med­i­ta­tion — the journey.

The pho­tographs don’t require com­men­tary.
