Newbying.com is alive and kicking again. So point your browsers to the official home of newby’s everywhere, because in a week or so I will be shutting this mobile home down.

It’s good to be home.

50 dollar logos

Ever wonder what the results from those churn and burn logo sites look like. Jim from 160 over 90 held a little experiment and posted it for the world to see. Visual vomit folks.

Awesome video

The stop motion is pretty amazing in this video. It’s pretty.

Like a robot from the ashes…

Newbying2.0 is clunking and steaming about and starting to breathe, the back bone is complete. Now the hard part, making it presentable to the public.

Birthdays for this fine February day.

Today really is a royal crap-fest.

It is the birthday of celebrity nightvision mogul Paris Hilton. Best known for…you know.

AND, get this, It is also the birthday of Sir Michael Bay: the Cecil B. DeMille of twelve year old wet dream movies.

For a bonus, here’s a non-pretentious Bay interview on how to make great films (provided that the film is based on a line of toy action figures, turned Saturday morning cartoon.)

With Microsoft Publisher, Anyone Can Be a Designer!!!

I’ve been assigned the daunting task of laying something out in Microsoft Publisher so that the end-user can freely make changes as needed.

I thought I would go online and see what others had created with this totally awesome, totally not-a-giant-piece-of-shit software. I found this:

Anyway.

Note: I used extra exclamation marks in an effort to ironically denote bad taste. Multiple punctuations are never okay. (my eyes are bleeding).

A few links for your friday.

Which is why you haven’t heard much of anything from me. I am working on a lot of cool stuff though, that I hope I can share with you all soon. To feed your linkage fever check out illustrator Von Glitshka‘s blog and work. He’s responsible for illustrationclass.com and groves of other online resources and materials.

Could it be?

A bit of Housekeeping

Chris and I are working hard on rebuilding the ashes of newbying.com. We’ve grown tired of the templated wordpress layout and all around ugliness of our current residence. So we may be routing you to our new home in the near future. Since we like to keep things moving it may be a rocky start, but we will try to make it as painless as possible.

Stand by one.
