The first is Chloe, a female Yorkie-Poodle, about 8 weeks old. My wife has been wanting a small dog forever, and now that we are about to move into a house, her dream is coming true.

The second is my dog, a Siberian Husky, about 6 weeks old. He is not in my possesion yet, we are waiting until the move is complete before we go pick him up. His name is still under great debate…

The actual design took many faces till we settled on the final design, color scheme and layout. We worked to create a very simple, easy to navigate, and easy to read site, that maintained a professional looking site. We also, along the way, developed a branding for the law firm. Which resulted in the color and logo.

I am enjoying the job a lot already, and am learning a ton along the way. I am a self taught web designer, so I knew most of the ins-and-outs of the trade, but now I am dealing with a lot more intuitive web programming and my company is making it very easy to learn what I need to know. It’s like getting a second college degree on the job.

I have already successfully hacked my iPhone and added lots of cool 3rd party applications and modifications. I choose to use AT&T just to keep cool features like visual voice mail. But iPhone hackers have already made it available on other networks.

After a day to play with my iPhone, I am amazed at how revolutionary it is, and would never go back to a lesser phone. Being able to pull up a road map, search for a specific destination, like Pizza Hut, and getting detailed instructions on how to get there, phone numbers, and links to corresponding websites; it is in some ways life-changing. No more carrying a road map in the car for a trip. No more cell phone and iPod filling up my pockets. No more laptop needed to business trips to stay connected to email. And the list keeps going.

Some screen shots and photos taken directly from my iPhone:

The trip was very relaxing and full of great site seeing opportunities. Although, we spent a lot of our time in Coprus Christi on the beaches and in the seafood restaurants. Our favorite restaurant was the Seafood Co. Oyster Bar, where we ate oysters to our hears content. There was also a locally owned sushi restaurant next door that was fantastic.

I had the opportunity to photograph the rehearsal and reception for the wedding of Brad and Kristin Funkhouser. I’ve done this before, but their wedding was exceptionally fun to shoot. Not to mention, I’ve know both of them since 1st grade.

I’ve been doing my homework and hope to start shooting the whole wedding in the near future. I’m not going to lie, shooting a wedding sounds nerve wrecking. You have lifetime memories on the line, should you miss a key shot. There are many thing that go into shooting the perfect pictures; lighting, focus, people, atmosphere, and everything else that can change (and does). The key is practice and knowing how to handle every situation.

So thats what I’ve been doing, shooting receptions, rehearsals, graduation pictures, and events.

CDS is a ‘magazine fullfilment’ company that manages subscription services for most of the major magazines in the US, and has branches in Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. The department I will be involved with handles these clients and works with them to layout and produce the mailers and magazine inserts.

For me this is a huge advancement, for the first time in more years than I can remember I will be working a day-shift job (having worked 2nd shift and Mercy Hospital for almost 2years). And I think my wife is even more excited than I am, she can’t wait to be able to have me home for dinner on a normal basis. Besides all that though, its a great company with plenty of room for advancement, great benefits, tuition reimbursement, 401k, PTO, and last but not least, casual dress code!

The site was designed to be simple and easy to navigate. That is why, I choose to use WordPress to manage the content. It will also allow the author to make changes to the site on her own, and add her own comments and articles.
