Daily Layout
Thanks to Dribbble, I stumbled across the work of Christopher Meeks a while back and am routinely wowed by his work called Daily Layout. Which is pretty much like it sounds, his attempt to build a new layout every day. I suggest you check out his work.
And while on the subject of Dribbble, it’s out of private beta now and you can check out all of my shots here if you so choose.

My Work-flow
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but just hadn’t taken the time. Productivity is a huge word this day in age. I’m not sure if it stems from the problem that our attention spans have grown so short or the fact that we’ve filled our lives with so many distractions; but we know have thousands of resources at our fingertips to help us learn how to once again focus and block out distractions.
I am by no means immune to this conundrum. I am as easily, if not more, distracted than anybody else out there but I can say that slowly I think I am getting better at it. I’ve been blessed to work for myself now for almost five years and in that time frame I have been able to refine some of my processes over and over again to help aid my work-flow and hopefully allow me to get a little quicker/better at what I do so I can spend more time with the distractions that I really love.
The following is a list of software (both local and web-based) that I use almost daily for what I do. Of course some of it is directly related to my profession so you’ll probably have no need for a few but maybe you’ll find an item or two that might help you along as well.

A Fashionable Thursday v10
If there is a definition of style, this guy has it. Every image today is of the same guy and he isn’t modeling a designer’s collection. Follow his lead.
And yes, I am about to steal the idea of a safety pin for a tie tac. Genius.

AFTv9
So these don’t come as quickly as I’d like but I haven’t lost interest in getting them out from time to time.
This week’s AFT is powered by Urban Outfitters. I’ve never actually purchased anything from one but could see myself spending a few dollars there if I happened to stumble into a store.
The Multi-functional Combo
These three pieces would work well for a number of occasions. You can wear them to work and not have to think twice about heading straight to dinner from there. Could be paired with slacks like you see with the jacket or jeans as well. You’ll regret the purchase if you buy the hideous plaid shirt currently under the jacket.
Jacket: BDG Shrunken Blazer, $68; Shirt: BDG Solid Button Down Collar Shirt, $48; Tie: UO Spring Plaid Tie, $19

A portfolio
I’ve finally taken the time to put some of my work here on the site. Shame on me for letting it go empty for far too long. Now that the hard part is out of the way, maybe I’ll be inclined to add my work a little more regularly.
Thanks in advance if you take a minute or two to look through it. There’s some previous/next buttons in the lower left of each page. Let me know if you have/see any problems or typos. I haven’t taken the time to test it in anything other than the browser I am working in tonight. Here’s to hoping it works.
The Portfolio. Otherwise known as the pieces I’ll attach my name to.

Early Rider Bikes
Add this to my wish lists for both of the boys: Early Rider Bikes
The video sold it for me. Although I hate that they just let the music cut out at the end.

The Bloom box
Of course I’ll reserve a feet first bandwagon jump on the emerging device called The Bloom box at this point but I am curious to see where it goes. The box – about the size of a kid’s shoe box – is a fuel-cell driven, mini-power plant that is touted to be able to power your house. Wirelessly, at that. The current client list is impressive and the technology wows me but the long-term effects are yet to be determined. Can it run for more than three years? Is it a brain tumor waiting to happen?
I’ll be watching how this one progresses as well as waiting to see who will be the first to try and either buy them out or destroy it. And if somehow they get it down to $3k for a personal use box, I’ll be the first in line.

Infographic, A Dad’s Perspective
I kept a few stats Feltron-style leading up to and during our stay in the hospital with kid #2. Thought I’d share them with anyone else who wanted to see them. It hasn’t been done but could be turned into a poster if there was interest (from family, I am assuming).
