MSI HCI

I'm officially back in school at the University of Michigan School of Information.

I'm a part time student working 40 hours a week and taking two classes, so it will take me 4 years or so, but I'll graduate with an Masters degree in Human-Computer Interaction.

Looking for our wedding site?

It's still currently up on The Knot

Review of "House" by Mariela Griffor

I found a review of the book House by Mariela Griffor in the Detroiter:

"…Its cover is the most alluring of all the poetry covers on my shelf—and I own A LOT of poetry."

Thank you, Heather McMacken!

Masters (of the Universe)

While not "official" I've made the mental leap to seriously start pursuing a Masters Degree from the School of Information in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) .

Admittedly, right now it's mostly an idea. Meaning, other than the fact that I know what classes I can take and that I have to take the GRE and I'll begin working on all that... this is just the first step.

But that mental leap was a big first step!

New Books!

I've designed two new books for InsideOut this year. Check em out!

This year, IO resumed utilizing the graphic design power of U of M students to design most of the books. A few books were designed by LMPC students, as the class started way late and with low enrollment, unfortunately.

Hatch!

Urban Resistance 1

I'm in the first Hatch Art collective exhibition! The show opens March 10, 2007. My photo, "Lunch" was selected to be a part of this event!

Next Stair Climbing Race: Hustle up the Hancock 2006!

I dont' form my own team for HUTH - instead I join Ann Arbor Ascension (A3).

We did well in Go Vertical:

Lermanator 25'
"John": 25'
Me: 30'
Kapoo: 36'

Not bad for not training a bit.

Stuff I Found

Shorpy

I absolutely love these old photographs. Best part is, I believe they're all free and public domain.

Photograms

I found this site of photograms while looking for an image of 35mm film.

Pretty cool stuff.

Ask a Ninja

I suspect it's not for everyone, but something about the ludicrous, drawn-out, stream of consciousness rant of a white-boy ninja just cracks me up.

Ask a Ninja

It's good editing, even if you don't think it's funny.

Zyrx

Zyrx from robottube games.

Cow Patty

A little outtake from the v.o. work from Bungie's Halo.

Artechne

My long time friend Allan Berry has an amazing website filled with equally amazing stuff.

Al Bliss



This illustration was done by my good friend Al Bliss. Since I met him he's always been someone I admire, both as an illustrator and as an individual.

He took a polaroid of me one day when we had a beer, just back before Christmas of last year and e-mailed me back with this beautiful illustration.

"Actually, I do believe it's because if I ask you to give me a pose that isn't smiling, you know enough of what I'm looking for to give me a workable look. Most folks just sort of stare at me dumbfounded, which is something I can draw but I'm starting from a deficit from which I generally don't recover."
