Bloomberg Releases Jobs' Obituary

Steve Jobs’ obituary was mistakenly released by Bloomberg News today. Bloomberg is a company that strives not to take a position on the market, but in this case, they actually caused the stock to take a sharp dip. They have since retracted the article and stated that they have no non-public information on the health of Steve Jobs.

Photo of the Day: Aspen Mountains

I’m not really sure if I like this photo, but I would love some feedback. I think it is slightly out of focus. I remember the feeling I had when I was taking this photo and that was a great feeling. I was on my own, in the middle of the rockies, breathing cool fresh air. The feeling is probably not enough to call this a great photo, but here it is regardless 😉 ...

Photo of the Day: Wedding Bands

This is perhaps the picture I am most proud of. It was a beautiful wedding and this picture is really amazing to me. However, I’m not sure I did good job on the color corrections. I’m posting both an edited version and a version taken directly from the master. Let me know which one you like the most.

Photo of the Day: Wavecrest on the edge of Focus

Recently I redescovered Jason Santa Maria‘s blog. He writes about some very interesting design topics, and has a very unique blog layout. He’s a cool person, I’ve written him in the past and gotten responses. My days as a designer are, at least temporarily, over. My job these days really revolves around programming an debugging. And right now I’m doing MFC/Windows programming, so web is really not a key focus of mine. This means that Jason’s blog really doesn’t cover all that relevant material for me. ...
