Everyone loves a mystery and we are particularly fond of the mystical realms. Around here, there are no secrets. Everything gets laid bare. Stay tuned to the blog if you're into learning about CSS & xHTML, design in general, grabbing an occasional freeby, and learning more about the technologies that go into this site. There will also be whimsical meanderings about a wide variety of yet-to-be-determined topics. Stay tuned to find out what's on my mind.

If I had known when I started designing this site that the result would be hours and hours of re-creating .GIF images with ugly white fringe pixels I just might have done something different. I searched high…
Since the release of my new site with its “magick” theme, I have been wanting to write a blog post about the supernatural, magick, and what it means to me. Let me start off by saying (perhaps to the disappointment of some of you) that I don’t actually practice magick and actually I never have. It’s not that I have a problem with people who do, I know lots of nice people who do and I understand that their motivation for doing so often stems from an interest in the supernatural, an interest I share and a subject very near and dear to my own heart.
I think when I speak about magic and refer to it on my blog in…
I love the culture that surrounds the web design industry. Creative, free-spirited people who often work from home or freelance and work weird hours because they can and they feel like it. Love it. But I feel like there is alot of burnout and frustration because that same freedom often leaves people wandering about confused and purposeless.

I am a freelancer, and like many other freelancers I have a fairly regular interaction with other web professionals through Twitter. As…
In the process of designing this blog I wound up with a number of thematic elements, and because I’m all about making the web a more magical place, I figured I’d share them. One theme that I ended up using only sparingly is what I would call a “Fiery Fairy Glossy Button Theme”. The idea was the same glowing trails that are found elsewhere on the site except they are “contained” inside of a glossy button. They’re kind of “Web 2.0″ and kind of “Disney”. The design for this site was most certainly inspired in part by Disney, and as much as I often have a love / hate relationship with Disney, I believe they tapped into something which is…
