Celebrity gossip is my guilty pleasure and nobody delivers like the Perez. Neatorama - is my favorite all-round blog with all that's weird, wonderful and messed up in the world. Smashing Magazine - hands-down the best blog for design inspiration and great help with CSS and Ajax solutions.   Patton Oswalt - Werewolves & Lollipops Colbie Caillat - Coco Jill Scott - Beautifully Human Sara Bareilles - Little Voice Joe Rogan - Shiny Happy Jihad Collective Soul - Afterwards Jon McLaughlin - Indiana Brand New Heavies - Get Used to It Lily Allen - Alright, Still The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Liquid Soul - One-Two Punch The Fratellis - Costello Music Soulive - Breakout   I am a Visual/UI designer with over 15 years experience with the graphic design industry. I call myself a graphic designer first and foremost, because it sounds cool – however, I’m infatuated about many areas of the computer industry – whether it’s the internet, design, usability or writing code. Okay, I lied a little. I'm not passionate about writing code but I do seem to have a mind that's tuned to that sort of thing. I like to make all my designs as simple, practical and logical as possible and if I manage to make them look great too then I feel I've succeeded. I'm really not a 'wow' kinda guy, but I do create stuff that works nicely and looks good. I'll be honest here, I love computers and the internet. I spend a good portion of my day in front of the screen, designing, researching and sometimes just mucking about. Ever since I was 13 and my best friend allowed me to touch his Commodore VIC-20, I’ve spent most of my time sitting in front of a computer… But, aside from the geek stuff I do allow myself to get out and about too. I relish exploring the northwest and spending time with my family. Music, hanging out with friends, trying out new restaurants, watching movies, puttering around in the yard pretty much sums up the remainder of my time. However, that might all change if I ever manage to get my hands on an XBOX 360.
