The fundamentals don’t change. This is a notebook I used in fifth grade to write an essay (monograph?) about photography. Right there on page one, they set us up for success. It’s all here, the outlines, the notes, the rough draft. I look forward to digging in to this, what might be the first time… Continue reading Writing Fundamentals from Fifth Grade

I hate a goose egg month
So to avoid a goose egg in the archives for August ’11, I rescued some photos from my phone. Here’s a shot from the making of the birthday week spinner I created for Molly: Max annoying my dad, who is trying to get down to some serious solitaire on the iPhone: This one feels like… Continue reading I hate a goose egg month
A Reunion Of Sorts
I’m moving on this week from my position at Edelman in order to focus on some projects with a few old friends up North and invest quality time in a personal project or two with old friends out West.

I’m not sure how much time… Continue reading For Your June Bulletin Board Displays and On The Road
ROFLCon. Wow.
Heh/Meh signs by Extraface When asked about what started his first “Andre The Giant Has A Posse” sticker campaign, Shepard Fairey tells the story that it was for an assignment that asked him to “affect the quality of the day.” I think that’s what motivates the parts of my work I’m most proud of.

We Have Jazz Cap
Thank you Extraface reader Gegen_you. You have ended the search for an obscure 80’s Wendy’s artifact called a “Jazz Cap” that began in February with a request from Melanie and led to various sources including Wikipedia, Metafilter, the Wendy’s customer information line, one of my favorite bands in Australia, and the open internet.

Maintenance: Upgrading To WordPress 2.5, Things May Break
I’m about to flip the switch to a new version of my blog software. Hopefully it’ll go smoothly but I won’t know until I try it and give everything a once-over. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. I’ll delete this entry once I give Extraface a clean bill of health. Bananas Foster tableside… Continue reading Maintenance: Upgrading To WordPress 2.5, Things May Break
We’re Back!
My host, Dreamhost.com, had some problems today so my sites among many others hosted there were unreachable for a couple of hours. If you couldn’t get here earlier, that’s why.
