We all want really nice looking web typography, and there’s a ton of solutions out there. Here’s mine. I’ve to warn you, it’s very lo-tech. It’s done with images. But with really nice ones.

Grand Opening of Collision Hosting
Finally! Our very first project is out of the gate!
This project was started last year when Jacob proposed it to Linda and myself. Actually, I suggest “Draft 1″ back in February of this year but the whole company name, domain, etc… was started late 2008.
Anyways, it was a long time coming especially when all 3 of us have day jobs. The time devoted to all things The Web Squeeze is pretty slim. But we made it! And we’ll be starting the whole process all over again with another booming project 
Now… go get awesome hosting from Collision Hosting!!!
September HTML5 spec changes
September being one month before the HTML5 spec goes to last call in October, there’s been a few significant changes to the HTML5 spec that we wanted to briefly share with our patients.

It’s quiet in here
I know I’ve been quiet for the past month and quite frankly (and as usual), it’s been busy times both on a personal/family level and work level.
I usually never do much in the summer because that sun is just way too inviting to stay indoors, but this year it’s been a pretty crappy summer… around here anyways. Well… enough about the weather and on to why and what’s going on.
First off, the blog will be changing a bit in the coming days, weeks, months? as I really think I’ll be going for a more “tumblelog” effect. Adii’s re-designed blog is really inspiring and I’ve been thinking about doing this for quite some time. Now to see it in action gives me the added “humph” to do it to mine. The design in itself will probably very similar as I’m quite liking these colors so it’s more a re-arrangement of the actual content that will be taking the heat.
Secondly, since launching my portfolio last month, I’ve had quite a few job inquiries so that’s really great. And I’ve had lots of great comments on it too! Bonus! I’m also planning on writing a bit on the design process for it as well. Things like why I went with WP, colors selection, etc… These are all things that I LOVE to hear about from other designers so hopefully others will enjoy what I have to say as well.
Third, over at The Web Squeeze, we’re working like crazy to get our newest project off the ground. We’re really shooting for a September 1st launch and that’s in 2 weeks!!! *gasp* We still have quite a lot to do but we have such a great team that I’m sure we’ll make it! *crosses fingers*
Lastly, with the above 2 points taking all of my time, I still haven’t finished that dreaded Part II tutorial. I know people are getting antsy… I am too and I totally understand. There’s really nothing more to say on the subject except that I hope you’ll all enjoy Part II.
So that’s it. Stay tuned!
Portfolio finally opened!
It was back in November when I announced that my “portfolio closed down for re-design“. That was 9 month ago! And now I’m happy to say that I’ve finally got the chance to finish the re-design and open it up.
I pretty much stuck to the mock-up I had originally planed, except for the little “My Work” section. I decided to keep the sidebar intact throughout the site instead.
I’ve also added a Blog portion where I’ll talk about client work and process behind certain designs.
Anyways… I’m really proud of this. What I like best is the different colors I used. I think that teal banner really makes it stand out more.
Let me know what you think and if you’ve run into some problems with it.
