It’s bulk trash week on our block, and I’m not sure if the city skipped us last time, or if every single household on our street took it upon themselves to keep “spring cleaning” in the common man’s vernacular.

Weekend Brunch at the Arboretum
Erin and I went to a birthday brunch for our friend Sarah on Sunday. We all packed up something yummy to eat and drink, and then met near the front gate.

Nevertheless, here’s some hacked together footage of the few shots that… Continue reading Dallas Flea
Trackback Test Post
I just changed trackback settings today on the Siemens PLM Software blog. I hope they work. Also, Chris Kelley put up a good post about the future of social media. Chris says, “What I am left wondering though is do we really have to wait until 2011 until we get to developers and users partying… Continue reading Trackback Test Post
Feeding My Ampersand Addiction
Erin and I have noticed (and fed our fascination) with the lovely ampersand. It’s been pimped this year as a stand-alone style statement. And I’m hooked.
Vampalin Pumpkin – Done!
Okay, so here is the Vampalin pumpkin. I had to simplify some of the lines for sanity’s sake. But it turned out good! Also, I completely forgot to add the circle and the bats to the piece, but I was tired and lazy. Whatever!
Zina Saunders, You Are Lovely
I’m addicted to Zina Saunders’ blog. I was recently turned on to her and I curiously await each new piece of work that she produces. Love, love love it!
