Michael Phelps does it, why can’t I?

12,000 calories. That’s ridiculous. It’s how many Michael Phelps has to eat in a day. Check out his body in that picture. If I told someone I was on a 12,000 calorie diet (that did not include alcohol), they’d literally think I was crazy. I suppose when you’re swimming 50 miles a day, you’re going [...]

Go out to eat and help end hunger in Houston at the same time

Normally, I’m not a big “go out to eater” or even a big contributor to charity. (I know, I know. It’s not that I don’t want to, I’m just a little hesitant on a lot of the organizations.) Either way, here’s a real easy way to help out: Houston Restaurant Week starts today and lasts [...]

Rice University students created an awesome, sustainable house

I’ve always loved architecture and for the longest time wanted to BE an architect. I loved physics, and the ultimate combination of physics and design is building a building! (Yes, and airplanes and a number of other things, but these are my rankings.)
Anyway, since I worked and taught at Rice, I was totally excited to [...]

Don’t worry—it’s not the end of an era yet

I love mustaches. I’m pretty sure most guys have an obsession with their facial hair. Most girls are like, “Why do you willingly make yourself ugly?” This is a common phrase from my sister. It’s a good thing my brother has a ridiculous full beard.
Anyway, there are some pretty famous mustaches out there, but one [...]

My review of Twitter and the call to get you to visit me there

Yes, I know this is like the oldest thing in the book and everyone has a Twitter account and the Fail Whale is cute and all… Yes, I get it. My mom had a Twitter before I did.
Anyway, I have a serious moral contention with the Internet sometimes, and it’s not that the Internet is [...]

Lest we forget…

…that yesterday marked the start of SHARK WEEK!
I’d like to personally apologize for the lack of posting; the job switch has had me very busy. I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things. Look forward to my best and worst uniforms in all of the major sports, coming up soon!

Goodbye, Rice; hello, Web design world!

Well, the time has finally come for me to move on. Today is my last day working as a Graphic and Web Designer at Rice University. I’m moving on to work 100% for a Web design company—something I wish I could have been doing 100% of the time I was at Rice. I leave with [...]

Firefox 3 released today

For anyone who cares, Firefox 3 is being released today. In a cool promo attempt, they’re attempting to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by having it be the Most Downloaded Software in 24 Hours. I think that’s pretty brilliant. Viral stuff goes a long way for marketing, and most people who would [...]

DavidandKathleen.net launched

My sister is getting married in October and as a kind of wedding present, kind of a selfish “I like to design Web sites” I asked if I could make one for them. She gladly obliged and gave me free reign.
Well, the day has finally arrived and the site has launched. Do me the solid [...]
