What I've been up to lately
Here's a sampling of some of my recent work for your viewing pleasure.
A PICTURE = A THOUSAND WORDS
Here's a random sampling of some articles I wrote for my blog. Call it designing with words.
Breaking News: Is Broken
When tragedy strikes, the news is where people used to turn for the latest and greatest—until the Internet. Then along came social media. This is the new News. Isn’t being hyper-connected great? What’s better than reality television than actual real television? Sadly, both can be equally as fake.
Everyone’s Got Somethin’ To Say!
Seriously, the majority of posts I see these days pale in comparison to the comments section, which is way more entertaining than the article itself! Right?
Things Come To Those Who Wait…Wait, What?
Patience is a virtue, right? Funny, it doesn’t seem that way these days. There’s a “want now, get now” mentality out there that opposes patience. Things weren’t always this way—at least in my life. Times change, and I’m just along for the ride. But what about people born into this way of life. Will they ever know patience?
Oh Heartbleed, You Make My Heart Bleed
There’s a new big bad in town, and it’s causing quite a stir. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? Say hello to Heartbleed! The latest and greatest in online security holes has just came into the spot light. For a small bug it’s already being crowned the greatest internet threat ever. Oh ya, and it’s been around for 2 years. They just found it now.
The Age Of Entitlement
We’ve all heard this before. We’re all unique and special. If we’re good enough, smart enough, well then gosh darnit people will like us! Ah the good ‘ol days… Now thanks to modern technology, that way of thinking is getting amplified—and the results aren’t pretty. You might feel the effects in your life now, but imagine growing up engulfed in it?
You Are What You “Like”
By now most of you are security conscious. You know what to click, what not to, and have your Facebook profiles locked down—leaving all your personal info visible to just your friends (right?). Status updates, wall posts, photos, who your friends are—all of that info is safe. But when it comes to “liking” something, that’s a whole different story. Likes are public. You’d be surprised to know there’s more info about you out there than you’d care to, well—like.
