Here is a list of the Developer/Designer blogs in my RSS list in no par­tic­u­lar order. Feel free to sug­gest more if you want!

This was orig­i­nally drafted in spring/summer 2010. I just never got around to post­ing it. The job men­tioned is two employ­ers ago.

Con­struct­ing an ideal cubi­cle life with things taken for granted

It is a guar­an­tee that the major­ity of soci­ety will work at least one job, in their life­time, that is far from ideal. For those less for­tu­nate, they may never escape the cycle. It is dur­ing our time stuck in jobs we don’t enjoy too much, that we are able to reflect and deter­mine what qual­i­ties and aspects that we’d like in a job to make it more enjoyable.

I really can’t recall when I posted these ques­tions, if ever, so I fig­ured I’d do that now. These were done over myspace prob­a­bly around the mid­dle of the decade. Text file meta­data says 2006. So it’s been quite a while. I think this was dur­ing my time of being inter­ested in hav­ing a music review col­umn + fea­tur­ing artists I knew of and loved. Any­ways, to the interview.

Edit: It looks like mobile safari doesn’t like vcf files and will throw an error when try­ing to work with them. From what I can tell with some research, the app QRafter, with advanced func­tion­al­ity, can prop­erly han­dle the down­loaded file. You can read more here Down­load vcard on iPhone with Qrafter

Apple, get your shit together with this topic

With the recent job changes from this spring, doc­u­mented here (I make things for the inter­net), I found need for a refreshed resume/portfolio site. I decided that I wanted to cre­ate an expe­ri­ence with the infor­ma­tion pre­sented, and break away from tra­di­tional meth­ods used to show resumes or port­fo­lios. I hope it ends up remain­ing my go-to spot to find out every­thing a com­pany or per­son needs to see if I’d make a good fit on their team or some­one worth col­lab­o­rat­ing with.

This post has been stew­ing for just about three weeks now, and I real­ize that if I’m ever going to post it, it needs to be now. Out of respect to those involved, I will not list names or the offi­cial com­pany name. From here on out, the com­pany will be called “dayjob”.
