To be fair though, the clients weren't paying them, so it's hard to pay me in ... http://www.artboredom.com/work-so-hard-just-not-here/ Look! I'm an über-important designer! Look at me cranking out the serious design work. Notice how grown up I appear by using a seriffed font in my piece. Also notice how important I am by the stance that I take by calling out other designers that don't like using seriffed fonts ... http://www.artboredom.com/serif-love-flickr/ Had a slight burst of creativity today. So I wasted it on a new Twitter background. Kindof a mishmash of crap I had in the Bridge (see what I did there?) so I cooked up something new with it. Got some trendy color circles that look like they're floating with ... http://www.artboredom.com/gots-me-a-new-twit-back/ Been seen with another lady In case you live in a dark, soulless hole and don't know what the Tour de France is.

So ... http://www.artboredom.com/typography-on-images/ The days and weeks (and months for that matter) have been busy here at the Artboredom offices. But you'll hear no complaints as busy is great during this economy. I'd been working hard on two sites recently and I've just started another. It's unfortunate that sometimes your personal projects/sites have ... http://www.artboredom.com/just-some-updates/ Loving Twitter. No I mean it; I’m really loving Twitter!

So follow me if you’re interested, and I’ll ... http://www.artboredom.com/twitter-safari-and-text-expander-yep/ I’ve noticed that there’s been a lot of new visitors reaching my site through searches for jQuery. Unfortunately I’m no jQuery expert. I’ve been using it to some success, but I’m still figuring out all its variables. Regardless, I learned all this by doing what you all are doing - ... http://www.artboredom.com/jquery-resources-on-artboredom/ I've been fascinated by the use of Twitter and being able to witness news and event trending in real-time.
