Back in Black
After maybe 6 years with my natural dark brown, I dyed my hair black again yesterday.
Kickin' Balls for Cash!
Update on my last post — Sunday was Dirty Fall Quickball 2011 and guess whose team walked away with the tournament championship trophy and raised a bunch of money for the Reateaching Gender & Sexuality Tour?!?!?!? :)
Had a lot of fun playing kickball with so many awesome people, can’t wait till next year!
To learn more about the Reateaching Gender & Sexuality Tour, visit reteachinggenderandsexuality.org and learn how you can help out.
Help me support a good cause?
Hey friends! I know I don’t post here very often anymore — so this MUST be important, right? ;)
IT IS! This Sunday I am going to playing Kickball (for the first time since elementary school) on TEAM GOLD for the Dirty Fall Quickball 2011. It’s a Kickball tournament, complete with halftime show, concessions and all sorts of FUN to benefit the Reateaching Gender & Sexuality Tour. Check out the video below and visit the reteachinggenderandsexuality.org site to get an idea of what the awesome organization is doing to re-define gender and sexuality all over the country and help queer kids lead happier healthier lives!
So — how can YOU help? Well I am glad you asked — make a donation in my team’s honor (TEAM GOLD!) OR if you are in Seattle and want to check out the festivities on Sunday, pick up advanced tickets!
Let’s kick some BALLS!
Did You Know I Make A Podcast?
It’s 2011 — CMD+Shift Design is almost 3 years old now and things are going well. I admit, I have gotten out of the groove with this blog, but I am still creating content! If you haven’t already you should be listening to Pagebreak Podcast.
Pagebreak is a podcast I started back in August with Niki Brown from the DesignOBlog. Niki and I spend our spare time reading a book about design, development, freelance or marketing and then at the end of each month we record a discussion on it! Throughout the month, we send out short-format shows where we read a blog post targeted to our industry and give our 2cents on it. We release something for you every Wednesday, so subscribe via RSS or on iTunes!
I am so glad we started doing the show and I have been having a lot of fun work on it. Our goals for the show in 2011 include revamping the website, having guests on Snippets from time to time, including our listeners more, and getting better at SPEAKING without saying like, ya know, kinda like or ummm… so much!
A bunch of designers (including me) weigh in on the way music affects their work process.
