Walk in the Woods from Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery on Vimeo.

This iPad/iPhone game is amazing! It is so beautiful and the sound is fantastic. Every detail looks and sounds thought out and carefully crafted.

1. I am a lone wolf. I learn and work best on my own, as opposed to group settings. I miss my old co-workers sometimes, but it is easy enough to drop by the office sometimes or say ‘hello’ on Skype.
2. Pants are optional. Super hot day? No problem, just throw a sarong on and I’m good to go. Rainy, grey day? I can stay in my sweats and be cozy and productive.
3. My own schedule, and I do mean schedule. I’ve done it for long enough that I know the best way for me to meet my deadlines is to start at 9:00am and work until 6:00pm, that is what works for me. I know what needs to be done and whether or not I can spare an extra hour break to meet a friend for coffee.
4. Oh yes, coffee. My ever-so-appreciated espresso machine, I love you dearly. Between beans and milk, it costs about $10 a week for my daily triple shot latte, and no paper cups to throw away.
5. Another note on saving money: I was never very good at making lunches when I worked in an office, but now I eat lunch out only once a week, saving a tonne and eating healthier at home.
6. I control the music! Writing code and singing along to Scissor Sisters just doesn’t work for me. I can turn it off when writing code and turn it on when designing, and only listen to the music I like.
7. It is a work in progress, but getting to choose all my own equipment/decor is pretty nice too. http://freelanceswitch.com/freelancing-essentials/5-ideas-for-choosing-your-home-office-equipment-setup/

Rich and Tasty Websites

We are live! Our companies new website launched this week, lots of website themes and more custom work to come. Go check it out!

This is the future my friends, explained in a great video.

Oh what a pretty background. HiDef Inc. is a collaboration between a bunch of the guys who created Vimeo. So far they have created three sweet web apps: Superkix, Flavors.me and Goodsie. I am excited to see what they come up with next.

Please try one of these:

• Firefox
• Safari
• Chrome
• Opera

Then open both browser and look at this post to see the differences.

They are using Georgia and Lucida Grande — my two favourite web fonts, and the color scheme is clear and appropriate.

The site also has excellent content, providing the history of the fonts.

They post two new articles every two weeks and since I found the site I’ve read every single new article and some old ones. This month they have two extra interesting ones about rebranding yourself/your site, something I have played with a lot.
