Change is moving in…

Life No Comments »

So as you can see, it’s been a solid month since my last post here at Darnology. Life has been kicked into overdrive, and quite honestly there are just not enough hours in the day!  A lot of that change is going to effect Darnology in a pretty big way. Although I am not 100% certain about the exact time frame of this change, do stay tuned as it is surely on it’s way.  Maybe a slight change in direction?  Sort of.  It’s a wait and see kind of thing.

Bigger, better, more better [like the proper english?] things will be happening here sooner than you think.  It will be much different and perhaps shake things up a bit, but there will always be a Darnology one way or another.  That’s all for now class…

Secrets don’t make friends…

…but they sure are fun!  I just had to drop a snippet of an up and coming project that I think is quite cool.  I am working with with a pal of mine to create a really great web experience.  I will get into that more as it gets closer to launch [could be a while, as this is a big undertaking for a couple of nerds], but in the mean time, have fun trying to read the name, and enjoy the friendly mascot.

It’s not old…it’s vintage…or retro.

Without a doubt, Smashing Magazine is my favorite daily blog read for fantastic inspirational posts that cover all venues of design in the world as we know it.  Their latest post is definitely near and dear to my heart as I am rather fund of retro and vintage stylings of things in our modern world.

This is a rad display of some great web designs that do a nice job of adhering to styles of old.  If nothing else, this is one of the more fun galleries they have had recently. It is chock full of quality work, and even if vintage/retro is not your personal taste it is well worth a look.  Quality work is quality work, whether you like it personally or not! Enjoy this free dose of inspiration…

My Portfolio…the red headed step child.

Portfolio No Comments »

I have been dabbling with the idea of changing the format of my portfolio section of my site. Besides the fact that I am not in love with the format, it is also rather out dated. It is time to start new and get back on track. I get so busy with actual work that I don’t do a great job taking care of my blog and portfolio the way I should.

That is all about to change in the very near future.  Be sure to check back for more updated work, as I have let visitors down over the past few months.  A lot has happened with my projects, but now I need to show everyone!

Check back for that soon…
