CMYK Flesh Tone Formula

I was trying to find a CMYK formula for flesh tones.  There didn’t seem to be anything online.  I came up with these values on my own C = 0 M= 22 Y = 24 K = 8 Try it as see if you like it.

Box Office Pop

Some friends of mine just went live with a business I think is pretty cool.  Box Office Pop offers low cost affordable posters for High School musicals and plays.  I was able to help out with some aspects of their web design.  You should check it out. I love this poster they designed for The [...]

Great Park Snow Day Was No Fun

OC great Park snow day

We really enjoyed the first Snow Day at the Great Park in 2009. So we packed up the family to enjoy the same event again this year. Unfortunately it was a bust. There were way more people than last year, it seemed to be double. In addition there seemed to be …

How Should I Set Up My Blog?

Moleskine Books

I had two people ask me the same question in one day.  They both wanted to know what was the best way to set up a blog.  I’m sure there are other people who’d like to know the same information so I thought I’d set up a resource for everyone. I use 4 different options [...]

Holiday Camera Toss

I saw this tutorial in Wired Magazine and thought I’d give it a try.  These were pictures I took of my in-laws Christmas tree.  And YES I threw my camera up in the air

Nobel Prize One Liners

Portrait of Alfred Bernhard Nobel (1833-1896), Chemist

Since Obama won the Peace Prize, I would like the literature prize for my unpublished novel since I have great hopes for it. Obama wins Cy Young [...]

I’m Owning It

To those who know me, this conversation on the KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show will sound familiar.  Let me just say, I know and I’m owning it.  I can’t help it and I don’t think Bean can either.  What can I say, we just know stuff.

The Proper Use of Christian Profanity

dwcover

I like Derek Webb.  He not only understands music and verse he understands his job as a Christian artist.  I’m not at all a musician but I’m inspired as an artist when I listen to his albums. His latest album is surrounded by a bit of controversy.  His record label refused to include one of [...]
