I know this site has become dilapidated.
I already have a new design 90% done & coded. Still trying to decide on a back-end. Keep Wordpress, Tumblr, Posterous, custom Rails app, wait for Harmony CMS beta? I promise I will decide soon, I don’t know how much longer I can look at this stale loaf.
Yes, that’s right. Marianne and I (Bruno too) are moving out of Cincinnati to New York City! Marianne recently accepted a new position and account with her current agency, Momentum Worldwide, operating out of their NYC office in Soho. This was an opportunity we could not pass up, as we both have always had aspirations of moving out of Cincy to a big city. Great news for me is that my current employer, Barefoot, was more than happy to keep me on board, so I will continue to work for them remotely from New York.
The plan is for the move to take place in June, pending the sale of both of our houses. (Drop me a line if you know anyone looking in the Oakley/Hyde Park area) At this point, we have no clue where we’ll live in New York. Definitely somewhere South of Midtown, or possibly Brooklyn, and not New Jersey. If you have any opinions or insight of where to live please let me know.
These next couple months are going to be insane, but will all be worth it once we are settled in the Big Apple and get to continue on with this exciting new chapter of our lives.
I’ve been using this little snippet quite often for our Rails applications, so I thought I’d share it. It uses minimal code to output the flash[:notice] and flash[:error] messages in colors correlating to their purpose and then fades them away.
Here’s the CSS used followed by the Erb code I use in my layout:
Last Friday a bunch of friends and I were out celebrating my birthday at the historical Grammer’s in Over The Rhine. Grammer’s was having a celebration of the 75th aniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition that night which coincidentally shares the date of December 5th with me. We’ve got several photos taken of us that are in a gallery on Metromix-Cincinnati. Don’t ask me why I always have ridiculous looks on my face in pictures, I can’t help it.
Barefoot is looking to add another member to our team. Posting on 37Signals job board below:

I put together a video of pics from the pub crawl I planned this past Spring. This was the first time I’ve used iMovie to create anything. It is a very intuitive and easy to use application, I would definitely recommend it to any novice producers out there. There are definitely some limitations that I felt using iMovie, so I’m going to give Final Cut Express a go for my next production. I’ve been looking around for a hand held video recorder and am thinking about picking up a Flip Mino. I’d love to get something that records HD, but that just isn’t in the budget right now.
