Just ordered some new glasses last night from Warby Parker. Their web experience was great! super simple ordering simple and they communicate in a fun way instead of the stiff “business” language. definitely worth checking out! Can’t wait to get them in :-)

I have decided since I have a huge fear of things touching my eyeballs and will probably never get contacts… To collect as many frames and glasses as possible.. Defiantly love the vintage approach and the price for these frames!

Probably the most inspiring quotes ever… Dieter Rams is king of clean functionality and Daniel did a killer job capturing his passion behind “honest design.”

Had some time over the weekend and a quick burst of inspiration..  So I created a WordPress Child theme for the Standard Theme’s Monthly Free theme!   Just like the name explains its… simple, But I took a little extra time on the navigation, and pagination, throwing a little awesomesauce into the mix.

So if you have the Standard Theme support license you can download it in the forums. If you don’t… Maybe you should get one, there is tons of help.

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.
