Quick update

I did a quick update on the design section today. I liked the more conversational tone of the old page, but I just wasn’t getting it updated frequently enough. So I’ve changed it into another gallery page. I’ll be doing another WP update soon, so hopefully that will also allow me to remove some of the rough edges on the gallery interface.

My friend Kris has just taken a marketing job that will take her permanently to New York City. While sad to see her leave this coast, I’m glad that she’s grabbing an exciting opportunity. We recently worked up this little site to showcase her other career as a freelance interior designer:

Yeah, he’s one of those people who can full on code and make stuff pretty. He just relaunched a totally re-designed, feature rich version that I have no doubt will make him internet famous.

Going to Siggraph

I’m going to be road tripping to Siggraph this week with some of my AM classmates. I’m really looking forward to a whole week of animation-centric goodness.

Here they are, freshly Xacto-ed:
