This is just a collection of logos I've done for my clients over the years. Some got pick others were eighty-sixed but I had fun working on them all.

I stumbled upon this a while ago, they keep making awesome improvements to the resource. It's my number one resource for icon inspiration/search.

Another visually stimulating film by Phillip Bloom : Skywalker Ranch on the Canon 7dMkII and 5d. Found this on Your-Majesty's twitter which is a great look in and of itself. Their brand is genius, great employee promotion track.

My money on why the development of graphic design (and subsequently web design) didn't take this approach back in the day was because most graphic design flourished from advertising and in my opinion where the clash of form and function are center stage.  But now that problem solving is again the focal point of most design (and of course UX) projects research has again become paramount. Would love to do a little more studying into the history and split of design and problem solving.

I have been in and out of Diesel's style over the years, from the onset of the shoes that were different and cool to the jeans and shirts that went from "oh how stylish I am" to gay to douche-bag's with no shirts apparently are the only one's that wear these. Ah yes I've seen all the stages, but the tried and true product that Diesel has knocked out of the park time and time again are their timepieces. Always slick, always technical (well some) they never cease to bring a smile to my face. This one I want oh so badly... oh so so badly. I could settle for this one also... Whoa.

I feel like these are posted all the time but this one caught my eye. I love the boat in the brainstorming room. What a creative seat, and it looks stinkin' comfortable. Found at Fubiz

Heard this song on Pandora today and I had to buy the album. The band is called Explosions In The Sky and I will be definitely be looking into them more, however looks like their site hasn't been updated since 2006. So here's to hoping they're still around.

I was perusin' the internets today and found this gem of a photographer. His name is Paul Octavious. He is awesome. I think I'll buy a shot or two from his cool e-commerce setup Just A Few Prints.

I also love his other collection entitled The Book Collection

This is a great presentation given by Zeus Jones at this past years Planningness Conference in San Francisco. Zeus Jones is a spin off of Fallon, I think they are doing some great work on their own.

So I’ve been a little late in the switching to snow leopard game, but one thing I came across today that I have been griping about so much in the Mac work flow is the ability to copy local URL’s. Working in an office with multiple designers and programmers I constantly am sending files back and forth either for approvals or just to pass off a project. This morning I was being inquisitive and stumbled upon the ability to (finally) copy and paste information in the “Get Info” right-click function then the idea popped in my head and I pasted the link I copied in my browser and wha-la…

You now have a file browser you can actually copy and paste links to. I may be using this as my new finder. This was one of my biggest gripes about Mac OS X and they just slid that new feature in there (I’ve searched all over the Snow Leopard section on the apple website haven’t found it yet). Maybe its because this ability should have been there a LONG time ago? hmm… I think so.  Now if only Dropbox could bring back their right click copy abilities…

NERDBOTS. Quite possible the coolest thing since the day old hostess shops that I used to go to (I really miss those places).  If I find $200 on the floor im taking it straight to google checkout to buy me one of these. Their site is squeaky clean too.
