Waited about an hour tonight on my second outing to AFrame before getting seated. Besides the wait, the place is excellent, especially the 5-grain Pan de Sal, which was really good and, despite its name, not as salty as all the other stuff that LA calls bread. And while the Carne Asada Torta was tasty, I should’ve gone for the Beer Can Chicken again because that was some very well cooked...

24 ways: Calculating Color Contrast →
This is a a great article about determining text color based on background color.
It does not, however, provide a way for using the included scripts in jQuery, so, I thought I’d post some code snippets I’m using for a new Tumblr theme to create tag links.
$("a.tag").each(function(){
var currentBackground = $(this).css("background-color");
var currentBackground =...

My Pretend Boyfriend
I thought I’d post a design I did a while back for a friend.
She hasn’t done much on My Pretend Boyfriend, but hopefully this PSA will make her feel an overwhelming guilt and pressure to write more.
I did the design, but Kyle did all the drawing.

My 2011 Characters
2011 is coming fast, so I’d like to tell everyone about the awesome characters that I’ll be doing throughout the next year.
DKoo — What did you say? ‘Cause DKoo had a hard time hearing it. This dude will always be cocking his head slightly to hear you better. We’ll all fall in love with his signature catch phrase “Pipe up or pipe down, I can’t hear that...

Dream: Visiting a Fake Television Set
I recently had a dream where I visited the set of a fictional television show. I will attempt to relay everything that I legibly wrote down in my notes.
The show takes place at a gas station convenience store, starring Sinbads. This show has two versions of the comedian Sinbad. They stand much shorter than you’d think, about 5’4”. One is the successful comedian we all know, and...

thelegendofstiiner asked: I'm really sorry to bother you about this, because I'm sure the answer is glaringly obvious and about ready to smack me in the face, but: where do I get the code for the themes you've created?

Colinfest →
There is only one person I know who has more self-indulgent merchandise than me.
In the winter of 2006, Danny Cohen, my former housemate and the author of the Colin McIntyre Theme Song, suggested and promoted the original Colinfest. It was a low-budget celebration of food, fun, friends, and food. So low-budget that guests were encouraged to bring their own plates, and one raffle-winner took home...
High Praise: SmartWool's WOW Technology
If it’s Hanukah, then it’s time for new socks, specifically SmartWool. SmartWool socks are great for any day of the year, no matter the heat. Despite their greatness, I have worn down pairs upon pairs. This year, though, I noticed my socks come with WOW Technology.
The WOW Technology promises increased comfort and durability.
WOW technology adds an additional layer of 100%...
