admin — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 18:31:25 +0000

A good bike is hard to come by. Standing at 5'0", a desirable 45-47cm frame doesn't appear in bike shops all too often without a high price. Here's the story on how I found Ray - my first love in Los Angeles.

Google’s Interface Change in Realtime

admin — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 03:36:34 +0000

If I were a guy, I’d wear…

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:00:07 +0000

It had been raining all day and I was wearing black from head to toe. Who knew I would actually end up mourning by the end of it. As a designer, educator, and former student - I thank you Steve Jobs for making it possible.
