True Illustrators

I can't draw to save my life. I've always wanted to be able to draw, but for some reason I just have never been able to accomplish anything more exciting than a stick figure. Maybe I enjoy my work so much because enabling others to do amazing work is a sad attempt to make up for my lack of drawing talent. This is a small portfolio of some of the amazing things done using Illustrator.

Women Drinking Tea! Crazy Talk...

Praise Allah for teleconferencing.

The last quote is the best though...

It's easy to laugh and/or cry about some of the "antiquated" ideas in that article. We shouldn't laugh too hard though. This article is an interesting study of how much bogus-science we're being fed each day. I hear people (myself among them) quoting some of this stuff like it's gospel all the time too...

Just for my wife...

Neat Horse Pictures!
What could be better than that?

Actually I found them through this: The LinkSquare Project. Thanks Noelle!

Cool Commercial

Not the I want to be pimping for Nike, but this is a pretty cool commercial.

Also, added another shot to the SJMB Tri collection. Thanks to Deric and his wife. Click on the small image for a larger one.

SJMTB Pics!

Added some pics (and did some editing) for my latest race. You can check them out here.

Dave's Big Score!

Recently we had another supermall open in the area. Gilroy is just 40,153 people according to the Jan 2000 census, but it has a massive outlet shopping area, a Costco, a Walmart, a Home Depot etc. Just about every large warehouse type shopping experience can be had in Gilroy, except an Ikea. For some reason there is only one Ikea in the entire bay area, which seems weird. Getting back on subject, the new supermall is a little more upclass than some of the previous shopping areas that have recently opened in Gilroy. It includes some nice restaurants, a Best Buy, a SportMart, a Target (pronounced Tarjet by the discriminating shopper), and a Barnes & Noble. I'm actually excited about the Barnes & Noble, as until now, the nearest decent bookstore has been in San Jose, and shopping for books online, while convenient, just isn't quite as much fun as perusing the shelves to see if any of your favorite authors finally came out with a new book. George...I'm STILL waiting! It also has a Maui Taco stand, which in my book is one of the finer burritos to be had around, and it's right beside the Jamba Juice and the ColdStone Creamery which means Jen is happy to head down there as well.
