Inch marks, really! This is all so wrong!                 This is the correct version yes I know kerning is a challenge in HTML, using a proper apostrophe is not.

I just backed a project from db clay line of wallets, it's just in time since my Paul Smith wallet has started to fall apart. It will be hard to part with my old wallet, it has a cool picture of a Jimi Hendrix looking musician with a guitar on the inside. I like the […]

We have decided to sell our other piece of property in Montauk. We purchased this some years ago and painstakingly designed our dream home, but sometimes the serendipity of life takes you in other directions. On the eve of breaking ground to start the construction, we got a call from a local broker about this […]

A hidden feature that I found out exists from Matt, thanks dude this is cool.

While I was putting together my post on how I manage my picture workflow and archiving, it got me thinking about an even larger problem, the archiving and workflow of the production server here at Empressr and Fusebox. This post I'm going to talk about archiving workflow. At Fusebox we have a climate controlled server […]

A nightmarish problem that just keeps growing and growing is how to deal with all your personal data when it comes to pictures and video. I've been using this work-flow for some years now, I thought I should share it and get some feedback. I do plan on making a few changes to it in […]

I haven't been out in a couple of weeks and finally we're seeing some progress. Landscaping is done (for now) and the reclaimed oak flooring is going in and will be done this week. Looks like we may finish this project in the 4-6 weeks now, I see the light at the end of the […]

In my opinion, the most beautiful ampersand ever drawn.

No response from my first design so I'm posting a new one

As we close out this week something is sneaking up on me! I kinda feel it on the back of my neck, like I never had before. Fusebox is closing in on it's 19th year of doing business and embarking on it's 20th. WOW, is all I can say. 20 years running a business that […]

I was looking for a restaurant to have dinner with my wife this evening. I couldn't remember the name of the place I wanted to go to, but I knew the street it was on, the cross street, and the type of cuisine. I figured a quick search on Citysearch would find the place, after […]

I came across this recently in my archives, way cool to look back. The crazy thing is that this font is still for sale today, It was pirated by a Russian company and has been sold under the name Proun for the last 18 years... and you all thought the music had a problem with […]

I love CNN, but I don't get the purpose or the intent of this article! One the iPhone rocks, yes it is missing a few features I would really love to have. The usability, like no other phone or device, EVER. Need to get your email, you know exactly what button to click, need web, […]

Gary is his classic closing talk stresses be a R.A.T R.eal A.uthentic T.ransparent. Stating that social media is only at the National Anthem for an 18 inning game. Embrace the RAT cause life is only going to become more and more transparent. Be passionate and work your face off. Here is my Qik of his […]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=uww3kdHy2b0%26hl Cosmo did an awesome job on this, I just helped him by pushing him to come up with images that worked into the story.

Ivan has collected some very cool and creative business card designs posted them here on creativebits.org. Has me thinking I haven't redone my cards is a while... Challenge, I have Fusebox and Empressr, plus personal contact info, I think I'll try doing this with 2 cards, moo.com for my personal and a combination card that […]

We knew it was going to be a project from the start. An old fisherman's cottage with little record of construction date and no certificate of occupancy. We bought it kinda sight unseen (believe it or not in a bidding war that we won, then was reopened to another round, we stood fast and still […]

@ericskiff hooked me up with a link to this awesome book. Being an old type designer I love this kinda stuff.
