It's the Moustache that Matters
27 Aug 10
Yet another reminder that it’s rarely your raw talent that gets you ahead in life, as evidenced by Burrell Smith’s experience as an Apple employee in the early days:
Burrell started thinking about what it would take to get promoted. It obviously wasn’t a matter of talent or technical skill, since he was already far more accomplished in that regard than most of the other hardware engineers. […] Finally, he noticed something that most of the other engineers had in common that he was lacking: they all had fairly prominent moustaches.
Thanks, Build Guild.
New Work: Norman Galinsky
29 Jun 10
Last night, I launched a site for the New York based artist, Norman Galinsky. According to the artist, his work “has been inspired by his background in science and engineering and his ongoing studies of metaphysics and spiritual issues.” Made up of small markings, which converge into large geometric and organic patterns and shapes, his work demanded a low key site design which doesn’t steal attention away from the details and puts the art front and center.
You can read a bit more about what went into making the site in the portfolio and go and have a look at the site directly at http://normangalinsky.com.
New Work: Scultore Rocchi
11 Jun 10
Last week, I launched a brand new site for a celebrated Italian Sculptor, Gualberto Rocchi. Maestro Rocchi’s subjects have included some of the most important people of the latter half of the 20th century in politics and the arts, both in Europe (primarily Italy) and in the United States. I had the distinct honor and pleasure to design and build it from the ground up as I saw fit, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
