I just finished adding a subsection entitled "stationery & identity" to the "webdev & graphic design" section of my portfolio.

Back when I launched this web site on April 4, I promised a few things. Two of those promises were fulfilled shortly after the launch. Today I am fulfilling a portion of another of the promises.

I spend a lot of time reading web sites these days. I finally climbed upon the RSS bandwagon last fall and haven’t gotten off. I read blog postings that shouldn’t interest me, I follow links I have no intention of reading, I absorb useless facts and interesting information that will likely get filed away, never to be used. In all this random reading, I’ve noticed that a lot of bloggers like to hold little contests on their web sites for the audience to enjoy. I’ve also noticed that the contests are either so bizarre I don’t stand a chance to participate, let alone win, or they are over before I get a chance to visit the site. Usually.
