It's 2009. Rise Above. from Rise Creative Group on Vimeo.

Just now completed a new design for my portfolio site.

And now I go to dream in markup and javascript.

I work a lot. That really sums about all of it up.

Also, Twitter's been freaking me out. Got random tweets from the CEO of Blip.fm and someone from Mozilla after openly complaining about their products. Strange times are afoot in this here internet.

Completely Unrelated Addendum: Fine, I admit it, Avatar is good. I am now hooked.

Updated my portfolio. Yeah, we've been pretty busy.

Hey! I have a new portfolio site, check it (up to you whether or not you respeckkkk it): JustinDelabar.com.

Completed 3 new sites recently, by the way.

Hi Livejournal land. Newsflash: I don't post here often.


I attempted to make a nice Fiona the Fat Cat and Me video tonight for Belle, but this happened instead:



This was the least painful outtake. And, no, the dolls aren't mine, and yes, they are always staring directly at the back of my head. Chilling.

Just because she said I wouldn't post it.

The rules are easy, just post 6 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 6 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in awhile.

1. Ingrid.
2. Finishing my portfolio after years of being too much of a perfectionist.
3. Producing consistently good stuff for work.
4. The new Minus the Bear album.
5. The Orange Box.
6. Fiona counts as a thing, right?

I tag... the world.

I bought this tonight.

Clownage.

For those not in the know, Belle and I are moving to a new place on the 20th and we have to buy an apartment's worth of furniture. Well, I took the plunge and got a few items out of the way.

I am tired.

More from Seattle:


Cruise ship docked at the conference center.

( A few more... )

Bye bye, sweet, sweet bonus.

I'm currently at An Event Apart Seattle:



I'll have a more substantial update, pictures and otherwise, later tonight once the festivities conclude. In short, I am now a CSS Jedi and Grid Design Master. Or maybe not.

Some pictures of my office at UCF:

( Dual monitors and robot assistants. )

For those unaware, I've started a design and development company with three friends. Here's the business card that I've designed:



Chuck Norris, you say? Why, he's the best project manager we've got.
