Something is changing...

It's been a long time since I've kept up with the blog, but.. that's about to change..

Howdy folks! Back to it now after a lovely holiday break.Spent the entire week playing with the family and relaxing.  I had all these plans to do work.. to come up with unique topics to post.. to finish the kitchen remodel (that we started 2 years ago).. to develop my wife’s website.. to learn to […]
More lovely pics from my cousin erica Berger! Happy holidays everyone!
ILoveSketch from Seok-Hyung Bae on Vimeo. This is the coolest interface for drawing curves.  I love it when people start thinking outside the box about interfaces and how we work with our computers.  I can’t wait to see what the future holds.. especially when you start looking at this type of thing, combined with a […]
So I have now been working out consistently for about three weeks.. Hitting the gym every morning before work in an effort to create a routine I can stick to. Today I had a 9 am meeting so I couldn’t make it to the gym until about four.. So I just finished my workout. I […]

My cousin Erica Berger is one of the most fabulous photographers out there.. her work is consistently amazing.  Always blows me away. She’s taken tons of photos of my kids, and they’re always spectacular. Her eye is just awe-inspiring.  She is able to capture such emotion and heart and love in her work, it’s great! […]
Due to popular demand, I’ve made the Jason Schleifer Rigging Bundle downloadable directly from LULU.com w/out having to purchase and ship a DVD. It’s a little bit cheaper than buying the DVD, and  way more convenient! If there is interest, I can also make the individual dvds downloadable as well.. just let me know! To […]
This is so helpful.. it’s something that’s been frustrating me quite a bit.  I mean, I’m a HUGE apple fan.. I love ’em.  Great computers.. great interface.. great design.. but they just piss me off when it comes to DRM. For example.. I own lots of music.  And I want to listen to it at […]
