I have been using Twitter a bit more recently and it has been fun to connect with web designers on Twitter and the huge numbers of designers using Twitter. If you are looking for designer to follow on Twitter, here are some links to websites that have created lists of some of the more noteworthy [...]

I while back I made a post talking about the relationship I have found between how many hours of sleep I get and the quality of my creative output. I try to monitor myself constantly to see if I can find patterns to how I work. When am I at my best? When do my [...]

I know what you are going to say. Another blog? Well, yes, I am adding my voice to the Red Rocket Blog. If you haven’t heard, I recently started working for Red Rocket Media Group up the road in Windsor. I love the place so far, and a blog is just one of the things [...]
