Sometimes progress is really a step backwards for me. Microsoft thought creating a folder by the name of “My Documents” would be useful to most Windows users. I hate it. Even worse, they strongly encourage software companies to put data in this folder. It...

I have been very lucky that I’ve never had a job where I had to sit in a cubicle farm. There have been some assignments where I was trapped in a cubicle for a few days and I was thrilled that I didn’t have to do that every day. The Qbicle BRK set of fonts...
Some of the more basic tools in CorelDRAW can also provide some really cool results. I’ve been playing with the Polygon, Star and Complex Star tools and it reminded me what they could create because they all use symmetry when they are modified. If you move one...
Now you can get 119 seamless terrain textures with the fourth product in the “Lite” series to be added to our Textures Unleashed seamless textures. The difference is that the disc-based products contain four sizes of textures and the “Lite”...
Last Saturday I was watching my Jayhawks play football. Some would say they are so bad you couldn’t call it football, but that isn’t a subject for this blog. Prior to the National Anthem, an eagle flew to midfield and it was pretty impressive. When I found...

We are getting closer to Halloween, All Hallows Eve and Dia de Los Muertos. That means it is time to find some appropriate fonts for the occasion. Sinister Visions is not a single font, but rather four different fonts from the same creator. You’ll get Gypsy...
I bet you had the same though when you first saw the name of this font. You immediately thought of the television show and/or movie by the name of Charlie’s Angels. My guess is the font designer named the font intentionally to be misread like this. This font...
I ran across an interesting article called The Past and Future of Famous Logos and thought you might it interesting and inspiring. It shows how a few well known companies have changed their logos throughout the company history and makes a guess at what those logos...
