As part of the reception after our City Hall marriage, Tres and I spent some time talking on The Seattle Channel’s Couples Cam. Take a look.
Tres and I on The Seattle Channel’s Couples Cam

Tres and I make the paper
Tres and I made The Seattle Times in a variety of capacities after our marriage at Seattle City Hall on Sunday. First, we were on their video of the event. Watch around 1:10 or so to see some fantastic novelty shirt b-roll.
Next, we made the digital and physical versions of the paper. You can see a The Seattle Times front page PDF or take a look at some camera shots below.

Tres and I make some history and nice KOMO B-roll
Tres and I secured our Washington marriage license at the King County Courthouse yesterday on the first day marriage equality was legal in our fine state. In some stroke of luck, we were there right when KOMO was doing a live shot of the Recorder’s Office. Take a look. Starts at about second 10.
Fronts for Hai-Lo version 3
And even more feedback. Feeling really good about this design direction. Very functional. Has a sense of precision but still conveys uncertainty. Interesting cuts on the type. Still legible but obviously designed. I’m going to try a different direction after this.
Now trying the fronts to Hai-Lo version 2
OK, got some edits in due to my good friends at Facebook and trying these as a bit of a refinement to version 1. I’m digging these even more.
Now trying the fronts of my Hai-Lo deck
You might have remembered I asked for some help deciding which backs would be best for my hit new game* Hai-Lo. I’m designing the fronts and was digging this concept. Hopefully you like it as well.
NEED HELP PEOPLE. Which one do you like better?
I’m making a card game called Hai-Lo and need your help! I’m designing card backs and can’t figure out which direction I like more. What say you? Leave a comment here or on Facebook. I appreciate the help.
This makes the title of the game much, much bigger
This keeps to the diagonal grid of the card pretty strictly.
Ring Ring!
My new favorite pastime is to answer unsolicited marketing calls and play ABBA’s “Ring Ring” into the receiver. You should do it too!
Just make it pretty
From a recruiter through LinkedIn:
We have a specific need for a passionate front end developer who will be focusing on the look and usability of our internal customer facing tools. Our COVE (tools) team has a lot of talented engineers who are great at what they do we just don’t have the “make it look pretty” person.
With that kind of ego-stroking, how could I say no? Recruiting pro tip: if you need quotation marks to describe a candidate’s value to an organization, you’re doing something wrong.
Gotta run. I’m behind in making something pretty.
I do love spam comments
Because I don’t use a captcha for comments, I get quite a bit of spam. I pulled out a few of the more creative ones.
I dugg some of you post as I cerebrated they were invaluable handy
Sure, I might be invaluable handy now, but I’m really looking to be indispensable useful in the future. Continue reading
