IT never dies, it just gets jammed in a new type of interface. After reading this quote from Michael Coté post, the visual of tribesman from the developer clan attempting to maintain and "upgrade" the giant IT god by giving it a new face jumped into my head. "Bring me a new face. Let it have …

A few days ago, I noticed this twit from Josh Russell: Is the proud owner of a Silverlight superhero costume I thought, "It couldn't really be. Maybe 'Silverlight' is a UK-based superhero or something. Kind of like our American Silverlight superhero." After seeing this picture on Flickr…

HHH stands for Heroes happen {here} which is a new site centered around events local and virtual where you can test drive Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008. The site takes advantage of Silverlight in a few places but one that I saw today grabbed my attention. …

Yesterday I posted about the MIX08 ReStyle contest and I also happened to see my pal Ernie Booth who recently moved to the Surface team. Upon reflecting on the day's events, I started thinking about what it might be like to do a "restyle" using the Surface as a graphic design workspa…

I used to play Photoshop Tennis pretty frequently a few years ago. Sure, I may be a bit out of shape now, but the desire is still there. I noticed today in the latest Infrequent Mailing from Coudal that they had a link to Photoshop Tennis. Not much there but a large graphic declaring its…

I know iLike has been there for awhile now, but I'm a big fan of Pandora. So once I read they had come to Facebook, I thought what great fodder for another drawing. I really enjoyed the pirate Rory run in ArtRage last night, so here is another one using the same technique. Sketch i…

After reading the post by Tim Heuer about Jing, I grabbed the fancy new screen/video capturing tool. Behind the simple and fun interface, there is quite a bit of power. I figured a simple animation wouldn't be hard to do. And it wasn't. Camtasia, as per the functionality o…

I asked my five year old what she wanted me to draw. "A panda going down a slide." she said. I finished the sketch and then she asked "Can I paint it?" …

For a few reasons I have been absent from the online world as of late, the online world meaning Channel 9, IM, blogs I read and more importantly in this context, the blog I write. So rather than spend time writing an "I'm back" message, why not come back with something unexpected. I …

I noticed when reflecting on the Comfy Monster and the comment on the lack of symmetry in his face, he becomes two very different monsters when you look at each half as whole. Brothers perhaps, but definitely different emotions. I was surprised to see how much the pattern of the upper li…

My pal Tim Baron sent me an link to Sam Hiti's Monster illustration contest. I thought I'd join in with a quick wb drawing of the comfy monster. Although his hair my look soft, I believe he may make the viewer feel anything but comfortable. Not because he's scary but because h…

I was very busy last week, hence a few posts have been planned but not published, but I was a inspired today by some lyrics posted by Jesse on the communal whiteboard today. That part about not filling my blog with whiteboard drawings, I think I lied about that, under genius advice, …

I don't plan on filling my blog with whiteboard art, but this one is timely and I fill the need to promote the latest video on Channel 9.

Drawing on the whiteboard is something I do often. Its hard to do because the surface is perpendicular to the floor (I usually end up standing on chairs) and you're using a whiteboard marker which does not typically have a fine point. At least the ones I have don't have a fine point, n…

I used to do this a lot, take random sketches, play with them a bit in Photoshop and then use them as a wallpaper for a few days. I drew this Gorilla on Duncan's board while working through the Channel9 Forum Screenshots. I'm still not quite sure what it is that he is seeing. 1280x1024&…
