So now that Museum Themes is up, WordPress 3.0 is out, and web fonts have made huge strides in browser-integration, I’m thinking about redesigning jazzsequence.com.  Again. Okay, yes, I am fully frakking aware that I redesign my site more frequently than a hooker gets checked for STDs, and even the Browncoat theme lasted longer than the current […]

If you’ve been following us on Twitter or Facebook, you will have undoubtedly heard us talking about our new Museum Themes — unique, fine art WordPress themes.  We’ve spent months planning, designing, and coding these babies, and we…

I just finished reading Nicholas Carr‘s The Big Switch in anticipation of getting a copy of his new book The Shallows.  This troubling excerpt towards the end of the book hints at where he takes The Shallows and gives a less-than-utopian view of our dependency on all things web-related: The printed page, the dominant  information medium of the […]
