    Today I received my amazing Intuos 3 tablet from Wacom. So far, I’m super-excited about it. It took me awhile to get the settings figured out and whatnot, but man am I happy with it. I didn’t get to use the Cintiq tablets down at BYU, sadly, since they wouldn’t check out the pens to…

  • Vancouver Special – Renovated

    Lately, I’ve taken a liking to contemporary design. There are some things that I’m not incredibly fond of, but overall, I think that it makes for some awfully beautiful architecture. So, it’s only natural that I liked this renovation when I saw it. It took a basic, old, rather ugly (if I may say so)…

    I just found (via a blog that I follow) the thing for which I’ve been waiting for an indeterminably long time. That is, an amazing alternative to Microsoft Powerpoint. I mean, I know, Powerpoint makes our lives easier (especially in school, for me), but still… It’s ridiculously… Ridiculous. Seriously. Who really enjoys using Powerpoint? Sorry,…

    Well, I suppose that cameras really don’t have eyes. But lenses and light sensors and whatnot are kind of close to eyes, right? In a technological sense? Anyway, last week I made a somewhat sudden (though also somewhat premeditated) decision to purchase a DSLR camera. I had been looking at them for the last little…

    In writing this post, I would like to draw your attention to the included picture, more specifically the paragraph to the left of the gloved hand holding the cigarette. Notice anything? Like an uglier-than-heck typo? How is it that an ad, more than likely professionally produced and printed (as I saw it on a nice,…

  • A Bacon Dispenser… Novel!

    Okay, truthfully, this really hasn’t the slightest bit to do with a real bacon dispenser. I wish, however, that such really was the case. I think it would be really cool. I mean, I like bacon. Don’t you? Anyway, the site where I originally found this image was pointing out that this is merely making…

  • Box-type Thinking

    I thought this was pretty funny. So, I had to post it. I think that at many times in our society we encourage ‘in-the-box’ thinking. Especially in schools. But hey, such is life, right? Oh, and in other news, I was waiting to re-register applyclan.com, because it was a good domain, and it seems that…

    In pondering Shaine’s Comment about my site, I’ve started looking at a number of other blogs and how they manage the titles of their posts. The conclusion that I have reached is that there isn’t a whole lot of variety among the more popular blog sites. Many sites have a very limited amount of styling/design…
