Last Friday, Joey and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. For a while I had been hoping that to celebrate the occasion, I would finally attack that big project that has been on my to-do list for the last… uhhh… five years. That is: Digitizing all wedding photos and mementos and making the nice wedding [...]
An article my friend Jennifer sent out this morning has stirred some interesting discussion and self-reflections. The article belongs to the “Masters of Design” series by Fast Company, and is about Paula Scher: Her talent, her expertise within the graphic design industry, and what she’s had to do to get where she is… One of [...]
Recently I had to deal with yet one more episode of thieves plagiarizing my work. Flying out of the clouds, with a virtual superhero cape, Jonathan Bailey came to the rescue. Jonathan is the author of Plagiarism Today, a wonderful resource for all things online plagiarism. Thanks to his help, I was able to quickly [...]
Lorelle’s latest blogging challenge is to write about your hobbie. While I don’t intend to give you all the nitty gritty about the many activities I enjoy doing with my free time, this topic ties nicely with a subject I’ve been wanting to write about for some time now: This post is about two special [...]
I am so completely shocked, this probably won’t be a very well thought-out post… For some reason I was just reading some of the old comments left on this site, and when I got to the post I wrote about some artists I met at the Utah Arts Festival, for no reason at all, I [...]
If you think that I am terribly proud of the visual design and information architecture exhibited on this web site, I need to quickly clarify that you are unfortunately wrong.

It only takes a second or less to have your life dramatically changed, doesn’t it? Monday night, at about 8 pm the phone rang… English being my second language, I still have a hard time with the beginning words of strangers on the phone, so I didn’t really understand who this person was, but he [...]
The last time we visited Joey’s family in Houston, Sharon (Joey’s mom), Joey and I were discussing the latest news about a new war starting in the Middle East. After I articulated some hot sports opinions, we got engaged in a very interesting discussion. I was saying that if I could choose a parallel universe, [...]
Dear Yaw Osafo-Ansong, Congratulations on the recent launch of your web design business and web site “MQStudios”. As you well know, my name is Maria Q. Stultz, and I own a small but successful web design business named “MQStudio“, operating online since Aug, 2003. Mr. Osafo-Ansong… May I call you Alantee?… I am extremely surprised [...]
Every day, with fresh supplies of morning energy to tackle precious billable work, several new urges attack mercilessly. I blame this year’s SXSWi and having joined the blogosphere for the sudden explosion of some of these… Reading all new blog posts in my Sage bar Checking to see if anybody replied directly to any of [...]
Maybe if I start posting an entry for every watercolor painting I’ve ever done, I’ll run out of artwork so quickly that I’ll have to move my lazy butt and start painting again… I’ll start not with my best piece, but with the only one I’ve painted from life, outdoors. I’m always telling my mom [...]
The first time I saw one of these things, I was in college. People were crowded around a couple of framed images for sale, and you could hear silence followed by sudden expressions of excitement as soon as someone was able to “get in” and see the hidden 3D image. You could also hear the [...]
