Personal Project: Beer Bottle Relabeling
My brother just turned 40 so I made him some over-the-hill OLD-inspired labels to replace the real ones on a few fairly nice brews I picked up for him. I didn’t feel like wasting money on a gag gift, but wanted to get him at least a little something to remind him how old he is getting. I started with a Google search and found plenty of source material. A few minutes in Photoshop on each one replacing and adding text where appropriate and the final result turned out fantastic. I removed the original beer labels by soaking them in water for about 10-15 minutes and then …

Are you ready for some football?
I am. I am ready for the Philadelphia Eagles to get this season started. Some say this is the most important season in team history. I say it’s just as important as any other. Expectations are always high here in Philly. This year is no exception. In order to get everyone as excited as I am – why not download some Philadelphia Eagles iPhone 4/4s lock screen and home screen images and show everyone how you feel about Da’ Birds? The lock screen features the Eagles logo and the home screen is simply Eagles green so that you can still clearly see your app …

Hopefully, I’ll be wrapping this up soon, as …

Happy Birthday Doodle from Google
Well, today is my birthday. And doesn’t Google know it. To some people it may seem scary that someone, or some thing knows so much about you. But this little Google Doodle for MY birthday is such a nice little touch, I don’t think anybody would mind seeing this.
It’s All in the Details
The birthday doodle is really cool, but what seals the deal for me is the Alt Text. Hover over the doodle and it says “Happy Birthday Kevin!” I know it’s a minor detail, an aside, something that not everyone will even notice. But it shows us two things:
Google is focused on the details of all …

Download FREE Irish Wallpaper
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, all! Here is a free desktop wall paper I designed just for today. Feel free to use it for whatever you wish. It’s large enough, (1920×1200) for bigger monitors but should still look decent on smaller sizes since all of the main content is relatively small and centered.
