Personal
Happy Holidays!
Thursday December 24, 2009 |
Beginning today, December 24, 2009 I’ll be out of the office for the holidays. Liz and I are going out of town Friday evening and will be gone for a while so I won’t be getting back to emails until we return January 5, 2010.
I did want to offer you all some goodies and tell you about some of what we have going on.
Kiwi
If you’ve not heard Isaiah, from YourHead Software, has recently released Kiwi, a brand-new twitter client. It is truly outstanding! I had the pleasure of working on it with him, designing graphics and UI elements and such, as well as themes for the app itself. I look forward to continuing my work with him on Kiwi as the app goes forward.
Kiwi Themes
In connection to Kiwi, Ollie Levy and myself are working on Kiwi Themes. It is a repository for themes for Isaiah’s twitter client. Currently We have 12 themes online and will have more after the new year. We’re also working on a system to allow users to upload their own themes to share with the world, and much more. So be sure to check that out at http://kiwithemes.com
Wallpaper
I’ve also put up some desktop wallpaper for Kiwi to help dress up your Mac.
Icons
While you’re on the Icon Lab check out out the Kiwi wallpaper be sure to have a look at our Unity icon set. It was released earlier this year and is great for site and application development. We’re offering a holiday discount for items at both Elixir and the Icon Lab at the bottom of this blog post.
Dashing
Speaking of recently released items — I recently put out a new RapidWeaver theme titled Dashing. It’s a great theme for designing a small business site, blog, personal site, portfolio and much more. It too is included in the holiday discount below, as well as our Ultimate Bundle which includes each and every theme we sell.
Holiday discount
You can use the discount code below during checkout to receive 25% off your entire purchase. The sale ends January 6, 2010 at noon (Eastern US time). The code for the discount is HOLIDAYFUN09. This code is good at both here at Elixir as well as at the Icon Lab.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful, and safe, holiday and we want you to know we have a lot of really exciting things planned for 2010!

Wedding time!
Tuesday November 24, 2009 |
This week Liz and I will be getting married. We’re getting hitched on November 27th, which is this Friday.
Needless to say, starting Wednesday (Nov. 25) I will be taking a break from answering emails and answering support questions. I’ll be away about a week or so, give or take a day. I’d like to say that I’ll keep an eye out on the inbox and the site, but I’m going to be honest and say that there is likely no chance I’ll open the inbox while we’re away on our honeymoon. I will definitely be on Twitter up through Friday afternoon, but cannot promise much more than that.
If you have questions, comments or problems, drop me an email and I will get back to you when we return.

Big time nerdiness
Thursday August 20, 2009 |
I’m a huge comic book reading nerd. My favorite all-time character is Spider-Man. I have a personal goal of collecting one copy of each issue of the Amazing Spider-Man. With approximately 600 issues out there, all of varying prices and such, it makes it hard to remember which issues I own when rooting around in backissue bins. So I wrote a little website I can pull up on my iPhone when I am out and about, for instance there is a good size comic book convention in town this weekend...
It is a simple little webpage, and gave me a chance to try my hand at PHP a bit more, too. Though I am positive it is not the cleanest PHP out there, I suppose it doesn’t have to be since it is only for my personal nerdy needs.
Anyway, have a look, if you dare: http://spideylist.com
Too nerdy?
