I decided to update my Facebook profile picture to commemorate my transition from Rider to Princeton. I wanted to show the growth and possibility of Princeton, capture the new start that it provides, and the glory of working at one of the finest universities in the world.
One of my favorite zen quotes.

So I was looking through past sketches, and I came across an effect that I had done in Inkscape that adapts well (better even) to the GIMP. I created a few lines in a transparent layer using a wacom tablet. Then I duplicated that layer and blurred it. Finally, I created a dark red layer underneath. The result is a glow effect.

It’s so true. This is Sunday’s sketch. I’ll have another one for y’all later.

It is likely that I am just upset that it’s not a TiVo remote, but I really think this remote has some incredible design flaws.

Laura Hyatt, who is basically synonymous in my mind with sustainable practice at Rider University, recently approached me about a cool project. She is looking to emulate successful classroom sustainability efforts in other universities, and asked me if I could help with certification branding. I looked at some of her examples, and made these. By demonstrating that in your classroom you do things like use refillable reusable beverage containers, turn off lights, do little or no printing, provide materials electronically, practice sustainability with texts and assignments, and use the outdoors and locality in your curriculum, you gain points on a standard scale. The more points you get, the higher the certification you can meet. I’m hoping to have my Digital Media Communication class be the first Emerald certified class at Rider University. Thanks for the project, Laura!
