twenty-three

I probably won’t spend much time blogging over the next few days, so I wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Hope you are all with people you love, enjoying some down time together, reflecting on this time of anticipating our coming (again) king.
The season can come at us from so many different directions. [...]

You know the snow is bad when WWU decides to cancel school. I don’t know how clearly I can say it, but this has been one of my favorite November’s yet: terrible wind, buckets of rain, and now….SNOW! I’m a glutton for bad weather I guess, because I love this stuff.
And with the snow, it’s [...]

Check out this great article on from the Burnside Writer’s Collective. And…please…refrain from any silly commenting BS and watch your mouths.

Today is the first day since the middle of September that I haven’t had an INN event to be at. It’s been a refreshing day off, having a chance to just sit and let myself rest a bit after the hectic couple of weeks surrounding the start of the quarter. Don’t get me wrong, I [...]

Funny, last week was the 1-year anniversary of blogging for me. Check out the September 2005 Archive here to see what I was writing about way back then.

Today is September 1, 2006. This date marks the end of an era for a few of us, as it is the first day when none of the original or subsequent renters of 611 N. Garden St. Apt A are rightful residents of that property. The house, left in shambles from moving, now is only [...]

I just got an email from a good friend (Jesse) who offered to be my own personal blog critic. He notes that he reads this blog every day, but has little interest in continuing to read about just my beverage interests. Profoundly, he suggests that I continue with the same style of posts I’ve been [...]

Stacy and I took a short trip this week, just to get away and to celebrate our first anniversary, albeit belated. We spent a couple of nights in Edmonds and then last night at the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls. Our stay included massages, a couple of amazing meals (including their famous 5 course Country [...]

Day three of stay-at-home-designer-Seth. Today we’ve moved on to an actual site design. The last couple of days were spent in relatively unfamiliar territory (logos and business cards) but today I’m back at the web drawing board. It feels good.
I’m working on a couple of layouts right now, toying a bit with my Photoshop and [...]

This morning has been spent updating logo proofs and laying out business cards for my newest web design project, Valley Computer Services. It has also included two cups of tea (Peach Black Tea and Wild Raspberry Herbal, both by Stash), a sampling from Leigh Nash’s new album, and Say I Am You by the Weepies.  [...]
