Hello there.

My name is Chris and I'm currently a student at the Art Institute of Seattle working towards my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design. If you follow me on Twitter, I'm a bit of an enthusiast of Microsoft, cable news, and current events.

I'm typically active on Twitter, Tumblr, post pictures to Instagram, write occasional posts on my blog, some of my schoolwork to a secondary Tumblr, plus post work to Behance and this site.

Hello Again

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 24, 2013, 1:53 PM
How have you been? I've been focusing on schoolwork.

On topic, I thought I'd provide a quarterly update since I'm not as active here as I once was. In the realm of tech, I got myself a HTC Windows Phone 8X in December and have fallen back in love with Windows Phone all over again, thus where the Instagram for Windows Phone concept came from. It really is a wonderful platform that everyone should give a once over, though any in-store device doesn't really communicate its strengths that well.

On the Windows 8 side, I'm running a desktop with it full-time, though the amount of time I spend in the new experience is limited to one app: <a href=[link]">Netflix. I on-and-off will use the new Twitter for Windows 8 client, though I keep going back to the desktop version of MetroTwit. It's something where a touch screen would really make it worth while, but I don't have one.

Moving along, I've also made a number of posts on my own blog pertaining to Windows Phone, Windows, and cable news:
Lets Fix it with Blue
The Compassionate News Network?
So, It's Surface ... What?
Lets Talk about Windows 8
Making a Better Dashbuddy
Rebooting CNN: Please End The Situation Room
Dear Jeff: A Handy List of Contradictory, Surefire Paths to Success at CNN
The Modern User Interface: The Name That Could Work for Metro
Steven Sinofsky: Making the Trains Run on Time
Surfacing from Oblivion
The Tabloid King: WSVN

In all, it's been a pretty good number of months as Seattle starts to shift into spring. See you all again in a couple months, maybe with some new work posted here before I do another round-up post like this.
