12 months of condensed DesignNotes in 2008
Wanting to take a look back so I can figure out how to proceed with 2009, I grabbed a bunch of notable posts that I thought were worth spending a bit more time with. Below each image I’ve made a note now that I’ve had some time away from each of the original posts. Here’s to the new year and thanks for visiting, and linking and commenting and… Do you have...

Spam Karma
Everyone gets spam, but if you blog you’ll also get spam entries for your blog. From time to time I’ll get some comments that are spam, but I wonder if I should let them get posted b/c they’re just so nice. It’s funny how the bots think that if they give a complementary gesture, the odds of getting posted are better. Some of the more recent posts that I’ve... Read More

The hierarchy of the tag is as follows: Large Font = Most Used / Small Font = Least Used, Bright Color = Newer / Faded Color = Older. The obvious fascination factor is looking at... Read More
Ethical Dilemma
Here’s something that I’ve been thinking about for a while. Is it ethical to blog about something that you find through a link from a contact inside your network? Oh the dilemmas… Well here’s where you’ll find the stuff that grabbed my attention as of late http://del.icio.us/michael_surtees Read More
Stuff Happens
It almost seems inevitable that I’ll go to a design event/thing, and the next day some one comes up to me and asks why I didn’t tell them about what’s going on. So for the sake of letting people know about some of the cool things going on in NYC that I’ll be thinking about attending, I offer this short list below – happy event hopping! F.I.T. Visiting...
