Why I needed to change yet another part of my site and further issues getting Javascript libraries to play nice together.
The light on dark version of this site has always had a jQuery driven content glider installed. The first one used code from Dynamic Drive. It simply did the job. I still believe there’s no better way to handle content in a single space and still be SEO friendly XHTML rather than Flash. Unfortunately I couldn’t leave things alone.
While I liked most of what the first glider did, I wanted a different effect when the next slide was shown. I wanted it to look like it was pushing the first one out of the way. The Dynamic Drive version just overlapped. There is a plethora of gliders out there and all seem to do almost everything I want them to.

Why the big HK is making its debut on the ABD. Acronym city holmes.
I’ve been way too busy to do this up like I want but I simply don’t have the time to finish the official HOTKUNST website. That will have to wait until the New Year unfortunately. It’s gotta come correct though. So I’ll have to launch a few of these designs here on the Artboredom mothership dotcom web interspace.
Okay. It’s Helvetica Neue Heavy kerned extra-tight to fit it all in there. Incorrect punctuation is so hot right now so I had to hyphenate this in the most inappropriate manner possible. Scandalous. Shirt name is “Broken Hyphen.” Yes, that hyphen. Comes in a rack of colorways for the dudes, and a few tasteful versions for the ladies. All on American Apparel wearable canvases.
Why art and design can kill you and how I barely survive. What do you do to avoid the death?
I’m in this weird period of my design. I have various stages of creativity that are distinctly noticeable. At first I’m floundering, looking for something to produce. I can’t see a direction, a movement, a style, whatever. The next is I catch hold of something. If I’m designing for shirts, or thinking of a line of paintings, I’m starting to formulate a plan.
Next I’m image humping. I’m researching past artists, designers, whoever to see what can be done, and what has been done. I’m collecting more now too. The web is massive. There is shit everywhere. My latest addiction is ffffound.com. The strings you can find yourself on are endless. I’ll end up with multiple windows with up to 30 tabs open. I’ll burn through 4 gig of memory with Safari alone.
