MODEST NICHE: A BLOG IN PROGRESS

New blog · 51 days ago

I think I’m pulling up stakes and moving the blog. As much as I’ve enjoyed being here, and despite the fact that this site holds the admittedly rather sporadically musings on the last 4-5 years of my life—I think I have outgrown this form of blogging. I’m rather liking tumblr, and since I have a crazy schedule, I think that might work better for me. At any rate, I might actually post there more often.

So here’s where I’ve moved: the new modest niche

And for the rest of the year, I’ll still be doing 3fs, so you’ll find me there too: 3fs: a photo a day

Cheers!

I'm back? · 90 days ago

So, the thesis is defended, if not yet revised. Which means I now have more time to write, and to invest in this blog. However, I would like to move the blog to my own domain at some point. Of course, I have not yet purchased that domain, so the blog will remain here.

So my thought of the day. D and I want to move to Santa Fe in the next few years. It has been a tiny issue for us that we would never be able to own a house, since we want to live in the (expensive) downtown area. Not that we would certainly buy a house, we’d just like the option.

I came across these Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, and I am really digging the idea. I like the idea of paring down possessions to only the necessary and most important. Also, they are portable, which is great for D & I, since we tend to have a bit of wanderlust. So all we’d have to do is rent a truck and haul the house elsewhere.

I fell in love with a typeface · 242 days ago

If we get that ridiculously stupid rebate from the government, I’m totally buying the Archer typeface from Hoefler & Frere-Jones.

Digging this web site · 246 days ago

One of the things I hate about web design is coldness I seem to feel from most sites. I mean, part of that is the forced distance and forced interaction (you must access through a keyboard, and keyboards always feel the same way), but I think there still could be more.

And this site for the School of Visual Arts’ Steven Heller exhibition is one I am really liking. I like the colors, the use of scale, contrast, and the grid structures. And the way it cycles through the background image. Looking at and interacting with this site is never the same twice.

Well, maybe one of many. I’m in a 12 hour conference, but I know most of what’s being said. So who knows, maybe I’ll be posting many.
