Past designs of this site; some made the cut, some didn’t
As I work on the next version of my site’s design, which is coming along quite nicely I might add, I figured now would be a good time to take a stroll through the hallways of Colin Devroe Design, Inc. and look at some of the designs of my site that had never made it […]

Risa Fukui: The Darkness Of Graphical Papercut Reflections
Incredible Although I remember doing something similar to papercut art in school, nothing I ever did came anything close to what Risa Fukui is able to do.

Unrealized architectural projects of Moscow from the 1930s to the early 1950s
Hot on the heels of my unrealized designs for this site comes something I saw, starred, and never got back to a few months ago: Unrealized architectural projects of Moscow from the 1930s and the early 1950s. Some of the project, like the Palace of Soviets, are monumental in scale. Gorgeous stuff throughout. Source: The […]

\”We just posted loads of clips all over the freakin’ place!\”
Ever since Viddler announced that Tubemogul now supported Viddler as a distribution point, we’ve been seeing this more and more. People that upload their video to every single video sharing site in order to gain exposure for their show, product, etc. etc. I get the point. I see the strategy. And, I can’t really blame […]

Blurb
Blurb, seemingly, is a really great way to make books online using your digital photos.

My brain dump after upgrading to WordPress 2.5
Can you believe how far blogging has come over the last few years? I can’t. I could go on and on about the history of blogging, how I’ve used it over the years, and where it is now that I find really surprising – but instead I just wanted to take a moment or two […]

Chippewa Lake Park, today
Chippewa Lake, a now abandoned theme park in Ohio, was once a booming park full of ride enthusiasts and families on vacation. Now it is a rundown, dilapidated and overgrown patch of woods.

Peel away wine labels
Finally! Someone has made some progress in innovation of wine labels. This one allows for a peel away portion to help you remember the wine later on. I know that a lot of people carefully peel away wine labels, or do it "Catch me if you can" style, but now you won’t need to. Neat […]
