Tedillize 2 Stylesheet
I revamped my normalization CSS stylesheet and I cleaned out all the specialized classes that I had implemented in an effort to make this more universally acceptable. This version is far more streamlined and deals only with the core HTML elements. There is still a lot of opinionated stuff in there, so this probably won’t…

Three Twenties Day
Today is 3/20/2020 and the namesake for this website, which is named for my birthday 🎂. Otherwise, I wish I had more to offer on this day. 🤷🏼♂️
And we have another site redesign
I went ahead and redid my site for the millionth time, mainly because the original header (hero) was too data heavy, and also not very interesting. Also, I wanted to clean up the look of the site, and improve its mobile presentation as well. The core of this site is a normalization and base HTML5…

The Mischievous Bears Re-rendering

New Renderings with 3ds Max

Raspberry Pi ramblings
Last Spring, when I rebuilt this website, I used a Raspberry Pi on my home network as an internal web server to host the site development. Setting it up for that purpose was fairly easy once I got php/mysql and WordPress installed on it. However, there were a couple of config files that had to…

New site, new logo for 2016
I spent the last year working on redesigning MarchTwenty and it’s respective logo. I figured the ‘m20’ logo with the title ‘Marchtwenty’ seemed a little redundant, so I went with something more dramatic, plus I wanted a logo that would fit nicely in a square. The site itself is built around a WordPress template that…

10th Anniversary of MarchTwenty.com
It’s been 10 years since I registered MarchTwenty.com. The years before I registered this domain name, I had registered march-twenty.com and then later marchtwenty.net. As such, I redesigned the site… again. With luck, I will now try and focus on my next book(s).
iPhone Art
I’ve been dabbling with SketchBook Pro on my iPhone and iPad for over a year now. These are some samples I made on my phone (with my finger).
