- Master of My Domain – Looking back at my personal site, I’m no longer the master of my domain. The question remains, is there a point of personal site anymore?
- Sigma 70-300mm – Some test photos from my new macro lens. I’m addicted to Craigslist for cheap goods.
Blogs from Elsewhere
- Maxing Out Your Triangle – Jeff Cheng recently quit his job to pursue something he loves. In this article, he illustrates the aspects of growth, stability and excitement. I think it’s a wonderful thing to pursue one’s passion. However, it all depends on where you are in life, doesn’t apply to all.
- The “O” in Obama – Sol Sender is the designer who created the Obama campaign logo. In this interview with the NY Times, he gives a lot of behind the scene details. Good read.
- Don’t Follow Trends: Set Them! -The article Dmitry wrote for Smashing Magazine echos what I’ve felt for a long time. It’s interesting to read the comment section where people get offended about “web design is not art.”
- Dumbing Down the Cloud -Rand’s take on cloud computing
- It is like I made it myself! – Paul Smith steals Robert Hodgin’s bird print. It happens quite often in design industry. What I find amazing is Robert’s handling of it, or none of.
Funny Stuff
- 25 Motivational Posters – Yes we all have seen the fake ones. These are funny still.
- Photo Mistakes – similar to the “Accidental Photos” I posted last week. This one is a video compilation.
- Ninja Cat – I honestly can’t tell if this is funny or just creepy.

also feel free to contact me on twitter or via emailThanks for the link on “Maximing Out Your Triangle”. I’ve found myself without a job and am rethinking going back to the workforce that I really don’t like (programming) or staying at home and giving it a go. The triangle of doing what you love, get paid for, and find growth, is a difficult one to balance.
I’ve been chasing the “getting paid” side of the triangle for the last ten years and have realized that it gets emptier the longer I pursue it.
Ninja Cat… now you can see how they kill all the native birds and animals they get their hands on. One of our neighbours has 5 cats and they’re pretty much cleaning us out of birds and possums. And my partner co-owned an organic farm for 10 years, she said in a few years an entire colony of flying fox were wiped out by the cats in the area, some feral others domestic.
Cute, yes. Creepy, very.
Our old cat has gone feral, I think she’s happy being outdoors all the time now. Once in a while she’d leave a “present” or two on our drive way…
