I’ve been pecking away at my first real Processing experiment. The application will build an image of a Trout from assets I created and it will pull colors from the ColorLovers API to create different looking fish. I’m using this handy little library. I want the end result to look something like a field guide painting. Here [...]

So with bison in my rearview I look forward at my next project. The idea is pretty straightforward: Generate a fish illustration based on a data set. A bit about the inspiration: I grew up fishing in a creek. We would pull out an occasional catfish or bass, but we caught more Bluegill / Sunfish than [...]

So I was asked back to speak at Flash Camp STL this year again! Sorry for not telling you, it was all kinda last minute. My talk was on Adobe Edge for Flash Designers. I actually built a lot of my presentation in Edge. CHECK IT OUT. We also did a little demo with this [...]

But by the time I left I fully understood the world’s infatuation of this human being. The image of Elvis was defined differently for me. This was a similar experience to the [...]

It all started with the book American Buffalo, in which author Steven Rinella wins a lottery and gets approved to hunt Bison in Canada. Along the way he explains the history and myth of the American Buffalo. Soon after the book I found myself infatuated and started on a mission that is the subtitle of [...]

I bumped into an old developer friend recently. It was a brief encounter in which we quickly talked about what we were working on at work and at home. Before I walked away he said, “What’s up with all the Bison stuff? I don’t get it. Is it a design thing?” To which I replied, [...]
