Our Friend Kyle Hale Offered to take some shots of us a few weeks ago. We met Kyle about 2 and a half years ago when we asked him to take our engagement photo’s, we loved the photos and the experience we had with him so much we asked if he could do our wedding (May 2008 )  We had a blast getting these shots done.. He is such a down to earth, creative, all around nice dude! high five Kyle!

Check out his folio or his blog… or both

O yeah.. My wife is 4’11 that’s why I look like a giant….

I’ve been using wordpress for over 4 years now.. It has allowed me to make a living… but I’m starting to feel like it’s not always “the right choice” I can’t tell you how many blogs/sites I have done taking the extra time to create custom panels/widgets just to find myself having the client call me every time they want something changed… Then there is the thing wordpress is so well known for.. PLUGINS… yeah great there is an archive of over a thousand plugins that can do almost anything you want.. downfall as a designer, your client installs every plugin they can come across, bogging down the speed of the site not to mention the amount of ugly it can throws into the sidebar.. Needless to say I’m looking into a few other CMS options for small sites.. maybe even some custom solutions :-) and I will be glad to share once come up with a final decision.

That’s my .02 … With that said I still think WordPress has it’s place… and is an amazing piece of software.

Been looking to invest in a nice chair… my $100 target roller has gotten it’s share play of my butt..  Came across these Gunlocke chairs (unfortunitily I can’t find anyone that sells theme… or a price ) but thought they are well worth mentioning… LOVE the wood back …

Probably the coolest and most manly bed and breakfasts I have ever seen Kuro did an awesome job branding A Cowboy Dream!

Started a new page “labs” going to use it to put snippets of code and other great resources in it.. so stay tuned!

Make use of your door with Tobias’s rad ping pong door… I imagine it would be pretty easy to break in though.. or could double as a doggy door?

What a great idea! apple should adapt this..  but I bet they are going to get rid of USB plugs just like they did Firewire 400…
