Through an email from Sitepoint, I recently discovered VectorMagic, which is a tool to convert bitmap images to vector graphics. (For those who are not nerds and/or graphics enthusiasts, you will not hurt my feelings if you stop reading right now.) Vector Magic is a vector conversion Flex application built by some geniuses at Stanford. […]

After living in the mountains for over 4 years now, we’ve spotted our first bear…in our living room…wearing underwear….(the bear, not the living room).

We got it! The house we’ve been trying to buy is now ours…assuming everything goes well during escrow. We just have to make sure we can liquidate the appropriate investments and sign our names about a billion times. We’re really excited about this house.

After some meetings last week at ShowitCon, DJ and Todd offered me a full-time job with Showit. So, after 4 years at Hume, we’ll be moving back to Fresno.

Needless to say (and much to our surprise), we had to deal with many of those differences early on. Communication styles seemed to be one […]

My son, going on 2 years old, has continued to amass a large booty of toys in his relatively short life so far. Recently, his vocabulary has been growing even faster than his collection of playthings; some of which is helped by teaching him the names of some of his toys. However, one of his […]
