Now, I'm no user interface designer. I don't claim to be, I don't have a degree, nothing like that. This is all what I ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/08/09/user-interface-design/ [We see the silhouette of a man in a suit in an open elevator. It's dark, and we get a general idea of his shape from the white light flying upwards at ever floor. Suddenly, it comes to rattling stop. Steam hisses loudly and gears begin to turn. A grinding ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/08/06/ronald-raygun-part-1/ This post contains no spoilers. I have just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today. This is not because I am a slow reader -- far from it, if I may take a moment to brag, I finished the sixth Harry Potter book in just under five hours yesterday ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/07/27/harry-potter/ It's amazing how fast bad things can happen.

I was only ten rows away from the stage, and at certain points during ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/07/23/blue-boston/ This is just a short post. I was looking at Facebook and I noticed that some of my friends and acquaintances are working on a movie project. Curious, I looked at the blog they set up. It's mostly for the cast and crew, but one thing caught my eye. For those ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/07/19/the-ridiculousness-of-copyright/ I hate airplanes. Sure, they may be fast ways of getting from place to place, but they're tiny, metal tubes with metal barrels containing rapidly spinning blades strapped to their wings. Through some miracle in physics, they manage to get off the ground in one piece, and more notabley, stay ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/07/19/your-own-private-hell/ I was looking at some blogs of people I know, and noticed an interesting thing: They all have readers. This is something I've always had issues with, and something I've never been able to quite figure out. Is it because I don't post a lot? Probably, but then, I've always ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/07/18/on-readership/ So after monkeying around with WordPress ((It's a blog system)) ((Yay footnotes!)) for a little over a month, I finally have a blog up and running. It will, at some point, integrate both my portfolio in one convenient, easy to use package. It took me a long time to make this ... http://greysheepduo.com/wordpress/2007/07/04/bloggy/
