I have the privilege of shooting Dalliance Accessories’ Summer 2012 line and we just wrapped up our first weekend working together. Here’s a few previews & outtakes I’m allowed to share!

Incase you’re wondering why there’s a few real animals, one of our locations was at the San Diego Zoo and I couldn’t resist taking a few extra pictures of the animals.

NOTE: Keep in mind there wont be any walkways or anything man-made in the background of the finished products.

Time for an overdue, yet unfortunately brief update!

First off, a few months ago I teamed up with the design & development firm PiXLMiX of Aliso Viejo, CA, as their  Senior Digital & Interactive Programmer! Since teaming up, PiXLMiX and I have been keeping busy and completing a lot of great projects. Take a look at www.pixlmix.com to see some of the things we’ve been up to because I’m really proud of the work we’ve been doing.

I almost forgot, I also programmed the new PiXLMiX website too, which has been nomiated for a few CSS awards!

With that said, the last version of my personal website grew a little irrelevant since I’m no longer advertising my programming services. An overhall of this sie was long overdue and I’m only getting started on this new version you’re looking at now. Once I can make some time to wrap up this revamp, this new website will be a product focused website rather than a service focused website like it has been in the past.

Since I am not advertising programming services at this time, and I need a few non-client projects to feed my need for adventure, I’ve decided it’s time to finally release a few scripts & plugins I’ve been working on a for awhile. Until I can get all of that ready & live, I apologize for any dust… so please be patient with me while I slowly get this site up to par.

One last thing. I have to say I deeply appreciate all the love & support I get on a regular basis from friends, family, developers, team members and just… everybody! You guys are awesome! It’s awesome to be able to do what I love on a daily basis, even if it seems like I spend countless hours being a zombie in front of my computer ;)

Code Sprint is an annual contest where thousands of international programmers compete to solve as many simulated and real-world challenges as they can, within 48 hours. The challenges are provided by companies like Facebook, Google, Groupon, Dropbox & many more. At the end of the contest the companies then pick the best scorers and interview them for a possible job at that company.

Well, here goes my first blog…

While browsing news.ycombinator.com today, I came across an amazing and in-depth article about using The Golden Ratio in website typography. Basically the article explains that if you take into consideration the width and line-heights of your lines, as well as your font-sizes, You too can make your text perfectly pleasing to the eye. Amazing concept, right?
