Rules I Live By:

Being is better than having.

Me On The Web:

You can spy on my bookmarking habits at Del.icio.us.

I'm most well known for the icons I design and distribute at PixelPressIcons.com.

I only friend my real-life friends on Facebook but anyone can follow me on Twitter.

Some of my music is online. Track 1. Track 2. Track 3. Most of my music is not online.

About Me:

I am 36 years old.

I have had cataracts since the age of 9. No one knows what caused them.

I am too busy creating other stuff to make a spiffy website right now.

I live in Campbell, CA. I work in Cupertino, CA.

I used to live in Kitchener, ON but I consider Elmira, ON to be my hometown.

I'm a visual designer with Apple, Inc.

I love my job.

I practice yoga and ride a skateboard.

Sometimes I ride a bicycle to work.

If I'm not making something then I'm probably wishing that I was.

I'm married to Petrina Burkard.

Together we have a daughter, born in 2009. She already has a website.

I'm a monthly subscriber to Audible. I like fiction and autobiographies and I listen to audio books while cooking and washing dishes.

All my plans, drawings and journaling go in Moleskine notebooks, and I use the Fisher Space Pen.

My yoga practice happens on a Natural Fitness 100% natural rubber mat.

I make expensive urine from Greens+ and a few other daily supplements.

This is my teapot. I drink green tea. I avoid caffeine but sometimes drink decaf.

I use Col. Conk shaving soap and brushes. Though I've grown a beard.

My skateboard came from Skates on Haight.

My bike is a Swobo.

I love my Martin Backpacker guitar. I keep it at work to keep me company when working late.

I'm learning Luxology Modo as my 3D modelling platform.

I've been using Pzizz since 2006. Napping has changed my life.
