What I read on the web every day

// August 4th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Life

Like most people who’s job is based around the internet, there are several websites that I visit each and every day.  These website keep me up to date on what’s going on.

I thought I’d share these links with you.

FIRST HITS: (these are the very first sites I visit when I start my day)

  • Pandora – I load in my custom radio station, sit back, and listen to only what I like all day long.
  • NewsGator – This is what I use to Subscribe to RSS feeds. (I’ll share these links later in this post)
  • CNN – I like this site for my National & World news headlines
  • Times Daily – This is the local Florence, AL news website
  • Design-Feed – This site aggregates nearly 300 design related blogs into one site.  Great for inspiration.
  • UwebD – University Web Developers.  This is a social networking site for those of us dealing with the web as it relates to the higher education industry.
  • FeedBurner – This site lets me know how many people actually visit my blog, and where they come from.
  • Facebook – This is where I catch up on all the latest news from my friends all across the country.

DAILY RSS READS: (read from my online RSS reader, NewsGator)

So, I hope you found this somewhat interesting, and maybe I turned you on to a new website that you hadn’t seen before.  If I did, leave me a comment and let me know about it!

Graffiti as Fine Art

// June 26th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Art

One thing I miss about living back in Washington is a friend of mine named Nathan. (I’d link to his website here, but it seems that it isn’t up anymore).


I met Nathan while we were both enrolled in the Graphic Design B.F.A. program at The Art Institute of Seattle.  It turned out that we were both living in or near Tacoma, WA and would ride the bus up to school together nearly every day.

Nathan is a very accomplished and talented artist who has been writing graffiti since he was a young boy.  His work can be seen all over the streets of Tacoma. (all the work he does is legal and he gets the building owner’s permission before painting).  My wife an I got the privilege of getting a personal tour of Nathan’s work when he asked my wife to photograph his graffiti for a book he was putting together.

Before I met Nathan, I never really saw graffiti as much more than juvenile vandalism.  Boy was I wrong!  Nathan’s style of design is heavily influenced by graffiti, and I have to tell you that every project Nathan worked on turned out amazing.  He has inspired me on many different levels, and I miss not hanging out with him.

Nathan’s talents and passions include graphic design, graffiti, interior design and many other forms of artistic expression.  He truly is a fine artist and his work (wether it’s painted on a leather chair, on the side of a building, or in a magazine) speaks volumes to me.  I’ve come to love graffiti and ’street’ style design work (although I’m not cut out to work in that style like Nathan is) and feel very strongly that graffiti is a genuine form of fine art.  I’d go to a gallery any day to see his work!

Thanks Nathan, for your friendship and your inspiration throughout the few years we’ve known eachother.
