Friday, October 27th, 2006 will mark my last day of full-time gainful employment at Fair Isaac Corporation where I’ve been a part of the skilled and talented team responsible for myFICO.com for nearly four years. My reasons for leaving are many and varied, but in the end I simply felt it was time to move… Continue reading Ronin

Presenting… at Suckswuh
Round 2 of the 2007 SXSW Interactive Panel Proposal Picker has just gone live and I’ve got one proposal in the bunch. Semantics Semantics – A Plain English Guide to Web Standards Jargon Every specialized field evolves its own internal language of jargon, slang, insider references and buzzwords. We’ll cut through the technobabble and define… Continue reading Presenting… at Suckswuh
Consumption Backlog
It has been nearly three months since my last post, mainly because I just haven’t had much to say. Here’s a batch review of what I’ve been doing instead of blogging, in no particular order. X-Men: The Last Stand — Pretty good, but not as good as the first two. Penguin by Design : A… Continue reading Consumption Backlog
Obligatory SXSW06 Retrospective
With all the Suckswuh-related blogging and Flickring and podcasting permeating the internets this week, it almost seems like actual attendance is optional. This is, of course, not true. While one may attempt to live vicariously through a feed reader and a photo stream, it’s a poor substitute for actually being there. It’s been said before… Continue reading Obligatory SXSW06 Retrospective
Penciled In
About 10 months ago I started working on a redesign of Focal Curve. It was to be inspired by two things I love: science fiction and comics. It was to be drastic and fresh and cool, rich in color and detail. It was to bring with it technological advancements, enhanced functionality and long-desired features I… Continue reading Penciled In
De-Lurk for an Obligatory Year-In-Review
First Veerle outed her lurkers, now Colly is doing the same. Since I shall leave no bandwagon unjumped, I’m calling olly olly oxen free on my own lurkers. Site stats show that the vast majority of my traffic comes from search engines — mostly one-timers searching for “Guerra Communications” and related topics — but I… Continue reading De-Lurk for an Obligatory Year-In-Review
Reflections on WOW
This past weekend (Fri–Sun) I attended the WOW Web Design and Project Management conference in Cupertino, a three-day introductory bootcamp on web standards led by Molly don’t-forget-the-E. Holzschlag, Aaron Gustafson, and Andy Clarke. It was great to see Andy again after we hung out quite a bit at SXSW05, and it was equally great to… Continue reading Reflections on WOW
Inking Table
Inking table, originally uploaded by Craig C.. Finally got around to setting up my Flickr account to post to the blog, so this is a test, as well as a preview of the Impending Redesign, as I dramatically refer to it. Note the capitalization, that’s where the drama comes from. The image you see inked… Continue reading Inking Table
Things To Come
Unexplained Absence Explained
Gosh, haven’t posted in ages. Reason being: I’m redesigning. Again. Or rather, I’m finally spending the time and energy to design this thing properly, as the last design (or current one, as of this writing) was rushed and uninspired. I commenced the last revamp in early February 05 with a deadline of March 1 05,… Continue reading Unexplained Absence Explained
