Today’s Type Tip: “O” Boy!
I have a confession to make: I’m in love with letters. Not in the cool, romantic way literature buffs and poets love letters; but in the dorky, glasses sliding down nose, masking tape stuck to chin, graphic designer’s way. And I’m on a mission to share that love with you. Initially I had grand plans…
Owning Photoshop Doesn’t Make You a Graphic Designer
I own exactly 2 tools: a hammer and a screwdriver. Fortunately Mr. Weenie has nails and a saw, so I’m pretty sure I could build a house if I wanted to. Now that I think about it, I also have a box of pens and an art degree, so I’m fairly confident I could draw…
This Ain’t No NBA Lockout
In trying to come up with content for my blog, I polled my friends on Facebook to see which topic they’d be interested in hearing about. According to the pile of responses I received (I believe there were six), most folks wanted to hear about why I was locked out of my bedroom. As it…
#BlogathonATX: A Little Anxiety Goes a Long Way
There’s a nasty rumor going around that I am a tad on the neurotic side. I’m not exactly sure how this rumor started, but it’s likely that #BlogathonATX Part 3 had something to do with it.

I really love Elmer’s note-taking style. I think we’ve found the official scribe of Blogathon! Video Blogging With Talmadge Boyd – #BlogathonATX By Elmer Boutin – The…
Ode to Steve Jobs (to the tune of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence”)
Hello iPad, my old friend I’ve come to play with you again But this network is slowly creeping Dropped the Wi-Fi while I was Skyping And the iTunes that were planted in my brain Still remain Within the walls of Apple The internets I walked alone My iPod and my iPhone By the halo of…
When Pigs Don’t Fly, They Walk
You may not know that my two all-time favorite bands are The Who and Pink Floyd. Choosing which I love more would be a heartbreaking Sophie’s Choice of rock anthem proportions. I could wax on and on about how fan-freaking-tastic they are, but there aren’t enough adjectives synonymous with “awesome.” What I can talk about…
Tuesday’s Type Tip: Please don’t do this. Ever.
No offense, Lex Oto, but you might want to rethink that logo.
