Most television announcers don't bother to read or review their copy. Copywriters must be undereducated employees who have never bothered to learned about agreement of verbs and pronouns. "Johnny and me will attend the ceremony." "Johnny and I will attend the grammar class." Can you tell which is correct? You get a lot of this on news and Hollywood celebrity shows.  What happened to his or

June 5, 2010 Google announced it's new Font API and it is completely amazing. They set up a web font directory where they have open sourced a bunch of fonts. Raph Levien, creator of the great Inconsolata font, works on the project for Google. There is an interview with him about it here. This is really exciting news for web designers. Typography has been something of a sore spot up until

Wild gusts of wind are blowing shoppers around all over the place. Bikers visiting from up North are shivering in the long and drawn-out cold weather we are having. We usually don't have this many cold days in 4 years. But the wave of bikers heralds the beginning of spring here and it is time to polish our business cards, get all our presentations in order and warm up those old contacts. Keep

If you have an event, and need a photographer to make a pictoral history for archiving and distribution, please call me. Until I got my new camera I was gadget-challenged. Clubs with special guest speakers, baby showers, festival booths, parades, birthday parties and all other small events are welcome.

Commercial art is suffering with economic woes just like all other business. What a bad time to start up a design studio! Well, there is no time better than the present for any enterprise. No matter what happens someone always needs graphic design, along with food and medical care. Well, that may not be entirely true, but if you open for business in a down economy you have plenty of time to set

The Canon EOS (Rebel XS) is a versatile camera. Simple for beginners like me and reliable for professionals like my husband. I took his advice when he gave me the camera and I am learning by osmosis.
