Gaia 2.0, A New Standard
April 10th, 2008Quick hit on the Gaia 2.0 Flash Framework (reference: http://www.gaiaflashframework.com), WOW! As many of you know, I am a stickler for proper naming conventions and standards-based development because it helps realize or define a project more efficiently and push an concept to production with greater ease. After spending 30 minutes with Gaia, I can honestly say it has done just that for Flash.
Fonts, Fonts and More Fonts!
March 30th, 2008Yes, in recent years finding fonts outside of retail media was tough. I remember times I would scour the Internet for hours to find a decent font for a project, however, times have changed for those of us who don’t have or want to drop dime on font libraries: dafont.com . This is my dirty little secret satisfying my font lusts. Read the rest of this entry »
Plato: Theory on Art and Style
March 8th, 2008In hindsight, much of Plato’s traumatic inspiration was formed through Socrates’ trial and execution, an arduous struggle for free interpretation, truth, and wisdom. This impact was great enough to turn Plato from political discourse and career relations (which he later defined in terms as politicians, those that tell you what you want to hear to achieve results, and statesmen, those who tell you what you need and may not wish to hear to support reformation) into philosophy leading up to his realizations of Idealism.

Free Annual Credit Report? Right…
July 22nd, 2007I just sit here, frustrated and entangled in a web of marketable deceit purported by the three credit reporting agencies of the United States: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. In the early years of this millenium, the United States government (Congress) enacted a law requiring these three credit reporting agencies to issue a free annual credit report to every eligible U.S. citizen that requested one, the most common method being the site, www.annualcreditreport.com .

Enslavement of Self
March 24th, 2007The price on our society of today’s marketing campaigns by big business is that we’ve effectively done the legwork in enslavement of ourselves to fulfilling that which pleasures us or moreso those pleasures which we have been told will fulfill our needs for entertainment, identity and self-indulgence. Every so often however, we realize what position we’ve put ourselves into and fight back, the most recent being the 1960s-1970s, where ‘revolution’ (coupled with extensive narcotics experimentation) was established, where a growing minority of participants rebelled against corporate structure, methods and the values of free market capitalism.

Christianity vs Secular Media Bias
March 5th, 2007I sit here watching a documentary titled "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" on the Discovery Channel, something that strikes me as one more attempt by a liberal media to take great strides in manipulating the ideas communicated by Biblical texts, a series of letters and stories inspired by an entity I know as the Lord God. I will first note, that my beliefs in this brief article, will be founded upon the beliefs I hold as the truth, that the Son of God was absolute as a sacrifice in a covenant the Lord made with His children - that which is outlined and described in the Holy Bible of today's time. I ask that you consider my stance on this subject from that viewpoint, regardless if the beliefs don't coincide with your own. Read the rest of this entry »
