Tinkering with Typekit

banana — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:14:54 +0000

I just downloaded signed up for a trial account of Typekit. There were some issues with it not working with Norton Internet Security on but I got that figured out (I turned it off :) ) If you see the wacky font below, it’s working for you.

Job Search Begins…

Welcome to my website if you are a potential employer. My 10 month “sabbatical” is drawing to an end. It’s now less than a week till I get back to San Francisco. I’ll be catching up with friends and family over Labor Day weekend and should be available for interviews and ready to start work as soon as I hear, “you’re hired.” Please be sure to check out my portfolio and resume. And if you’re really bored, you can read about my trip.

I’ll be on an extended sailing vacation until my money runs out. I’ll be updating sailust.com in lieu of this one.

Funny ATM Image Macro

Last night, I went to Atmosphere, this new club in North Beach. I wasn’t impressed with the club but their ATM machine has what appears to be an internet meme, more specifically an image macro of a hand holding a wad of cash with the phrase “GET CASH” in the distinct white impact font with a black border. Those familiar with the family of icanhascheezburger sites will find this funny. Otherwise, it’s pretty dumb.

“Severe Dehydration”

Are you struggling to figure out how the economy got in such a sour state? How did your mortgage get packaged with others and sold on Wall Street as a CDO (collateralized debt obligation)? Portfolio made a nifty animated chart for all those visual learners that get confused by financial-like talk.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow

Thumbing through one of my dad’s old books, I came across an old scrap of paper being used as a bookmark. It said:

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, and you are still alright, aren’t you?

Facebook gains popularity

I was recently interviewed and photographed for a Bloomberg article that was published today. It’s about how I use Facebook, now, more than Myspace.

After Web cam girls and spammers bombarded Sean Conaty with buddy requests on MySpace, he switched to Facebook to connect with his real-life friends.

“Facebook seems a lot cleaner and nicer,” said Conaty, 25, a Web designer at AdBrite Inc. in San Francisco. He cut back his social networking on MySpace to once a week and now logs onto Facebook daily to read comments and view photos posted by friends.

I was at the Giant’s game last night when Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron’s 33 year old home run record. Below is footage from the section 130, where I was sitting. I’m the tall guy in the turquoise track jacket blocking everybody’s view.

Crimefighting badass

Sean — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 07:36:08 +0000

Most people don’t know, but when I’m not working my day job, I’m a crimefighting badass. I should just go Hollywood then my day job and moonlighting job would be the same.
