a picture of me
I am a web designer, theme designer, professional photographer and internet personality. I make many pretty things and I write a lot of content for the internet.

I am one of those guys that, because of the industry I am in, need to be connected at all times. At any given moment you'll find me posting on a forum, updating with twitter, Digging things worthy of attention, uploading pictures, or tagging cool sites.

here i am

seyDoggy Systems:
This is home base, the corporate headquarters, the hub, if you will, seyDoggy.com.

seyDesign news:
these are the RapidWeaver related posts that originally appear in the seyDesign.com blog

Uploads from seyDoggy:
these are the pictures that I upload to flickr

Merrifield Photography:

delicious.com/seydoggy:
these are the websites I want to share or revisit later on. I just tag them on delicious.com.

what i am

I am the owner and operator of seyDoggy Systems, a small theme, code and design outfit based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. We primarily develop web based technologies but have begun to dabble in the desktop realm.

what i do

I code like a fool. I design like a fool. I am happiest when I can split my time between the two (though I tire of Photoshop faster then I do TextMate or Terminal), and somehow I have managed to etch out a living doing so.

The BigBox

Well it all comes down to this. Don’t all categories lead to the same place anyhow? Well that’s my view anyhow. One of the biggest speed bumps in my day is digging. No not THAT DIGGING, I mean digging for files. I hate drilling down folder after folder, only to make it to the end of a branch that doesn’t contain what I am looking for.

Don’t get me wrong, I do have a file structure on my hard drive (that’s always in a state of flux), but when I am in need of a regular clip of text or snippet of code or launching an oft used app, I always use either Spotlight or Quicksilver.

So what’s my point? I have decided to forgo the usual “Category” link structure in leu of the BigBox; one of those giant, store everything boxes that contains the whole stinking load. Why? Two reasons:

  1. It just where my mind is at right now.
  2. The only Quicksilver script I could find to write post from my desktop only supports posts to the default folder.

How will you/I find anything? With the search field of course. Will this change? I could, but I doubt it.
