Going Google-less
So, I’m still bothered by the Google thing. I’m bothered by how reliant I am on Google’s products the same way I was bothered by how reliant I was on Microsoft’s products.

Don’t be Google: A battle-cry for Net Neutrality

A new theme in the works
We spent the day today hammering out some ideas for a new Museum Theme. We wanted to do something for those typophiles and writers out there; something minimalist with an emphasis on typography and a unique design. The result is Ex Libris, which will be coming very soon. Design options Ex Libris will have 3… (read…

Free Calendar Wallpaper: August Deadwood
I’ve been playing with various photographic effects and grunging them up for the new jazzsequence.com design, particularly the headers and post thumbnails. So, it was with those techniques at my fingertips and on my mind that I approached these two wood textures from an upcoming texture pack to create this month’s wallpaper. And since we…
