It has officially been one week and some odd hours since I have been without power thanks to the hurricane known as Ike.  Now, I realize that there are many more important things that were effected by Ike than my electricity situation, but being without power is certainly an annoyance after a couple of days.

As I am writing this I am sitting in a hotel in Bryan, TX where I will be attending a wedding later this evening.  I figured I would take advantage of their electricity as well as their free wifi, and just let anyone who cares to know that I still am alive.  I have contacted my current clients and let them know I am away from all things technology related until I get power again.  In the mean time, I continue to work as I can on the generator at my folk’s house in Houston.

We will be getting power again on Tuesday (9/23) of this week I am told, so we will see how that plays out.  Once that happens I am hoping that life can start to get back to normal sooner than later.  I miss getting to play on my trusty Mac all day long.

I am off for now, but hopefully will be back for real in the next few days.  Until then…

My Macbook Pro crashed today.  All it took was a corrupt startup folder, which was caused by a bad stick of memory to take me down a notch.  I guess it was bound to happen one day.  My good friend Mac let me down.

Oh well, it is still a thing of beauty, and with a fresh install of Leopard I will be back in action in no time!

Thank goodness for good backups.

As of this past Wednesday, June 11th, I am officially an Uncle. My wife’s sister had her baby girl, so that has become the new hot news around the family circle.

In the mix of all this, Emily’s sister Leslie wanted to have a way to share all the news about their families new activities involved with Baby Campbell.   Being the wonderful uncle that I am, I set up a little blog style site for them to keep everyone in the loop on all things Tipp related.

This is a super simple little blog site, but I really like how it turned out.  It is really clean and simple, and pretty easy on the eyes.  Just a fun little project.  Check it out if you would like…

For the people in my life who wonder what I do all day, and where I spend my time, here is your answer.  I spend my hours right here slaving away deep in my design endeavors.  

The key is to create that place that makes you feel like creating great solutions, yet still allows for easy access to Facebook on an off task whim.   This is that place for me!

Life will be changing up a bit for me soon, so I figured I better share my current creative spot with everyone before I have to find my new one.  I will get that info out there as the events unfold.  Also, I really enjoy seeing the places that other people work, so I suppose it is time that I showed mine to the people who frequent my site.

Just a typical Sunday afternoon with my man Mac.  He was a bit curious about how the Opelika Daily News site was coming along, so I showed him what I had so far.  

I really can’t wait to finish this site, as I think it will be very cool.  Until then, gaze upon the cuteness [and the biter] that is Mac, our dog.
