2009-08-16T15:22:00.000-07:00

This TV set character is from a Japanese kids show I watch with my son. I did some Finder icons too, so it would be a little more accessible. There are a couple of flat 2D versions included.

LaCie iamaKey Drive icon

2009-06-14T10:19:00.000-07:00

Fun Sunday morning project: .Neo on MacThemes was looking for an icon of a LaCie iamaKey USB Drive, so here's one. As usual, Illustrator -> Cinema 4D -> Photoshop.

Record Adapter

2009-06-12T22:55:00.001-07:00

When I was a kid, I used to play, i.e. destroy, my brothers' old records. We had tons of these 45 RPM adapters around. Cinema 4D and Photoshop, with the paths drawn in Illustrator.

QuickTime X Icon

2009-06-12T10:43:00.000-07:00

Somebody, I think Jonas, was looking for this one. Quick visualization in Photoshop, with the paths drawn in Illustrator. Based on screenshots on apple.com, not on the one on the WWDC banners. Might do that one, too.

Palm Pre is now shipping!

2009-06-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

Palm's new mobile device, the Pre, is now shipping! I've had a unique opportunity at Palm to do a wide variety of things on webOS. Visuals, interaction, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, etc. It's just really great to see how quickly people can develop for this platform. I'm fortunate to work with a lot of incredibly dedicated and talented people at Palm.

A couple of years ago, I started working for Palm on future software projects. After quite a lot of recent work, I'm happy to say we're about to release the new Palm webOS on a new product called the Palm Pre. Check out Palm's marketing pages for screenshots and product specs.

3D Transmission Icon

2008-12-01T23:10:00.000-08:00

I really like the Transmission icon, so I did a 3D rendering of it. This is the second one I did. Here's the first one.

Energy Dome

2008-08-11T15:26:00.001-07:00

The first concert I ever went to was DEVO, on the New Traditionalists Tour. Here's an energy dome icon. Cinema 4D and Photoshop, with the paths drawn in Illustrator.

Rook Icon

2008-08-02T19:50:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning and wanted to render a chess piece, specifically a rook, for some reason. So here's a nice chunky rook icon. Red, white and ivory color variations are included. Cinema 4D and Photoshop, with the paths drawn in Illustrator.

More Domokun Icons

2008-08-01T08:07:00.000-07:00

I did these based on an idea given to me on the MacThemes forums. Just a quick and dirty set of Domokun icons, done in the current iPod color set.

Icon Updates: Bigger and Better

2008-07-27T14:11:00.000-07:00

I recently updated most of my icons to support Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard's 512x512 icon format. Many of them were redrawn or re-rendered. Also, there are some new/old ones that I'd previously forgotten to post. Hooray!

UMD Icons

2008-03-10T19:09:00.000-07:00

I did these icons back in 2005 when I was doing HiDPI icons for Mac OS X Leopard. I just got around to posting them. Enjoy!

Android Friends

2007-11-13T14:31:00.000-08:00

For some reason, I like the little Android dude. So, I did some variations on that theme. These are also the first icons I've posted that support Leopard's 512x512 icns size.

Android

2007-11-07T08:06:00.000-08:00

Just having some 3D fun with the new Android logo.

add custom title to Classic Blogger FTP label pages

2007-07-16T10:42:00.000-07:00

On Classic Blogger templates for FTP, label pages do not have custom page titles.
This PHP code is for adding the label name to the page title.


<title><$BlogPageTitle$>
<?php
 // this checks to see if you are on a label page
 if(strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'/blog/labels/')) {


// this generates the label name
 $FilePath = explode("/", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] );
 $FilePath = array_reverse($FilePath);
 $LabelName = explode(".", $FilePath[0]);
 echo ": ". $LabelName[0];


}
?>
</title>

add custom html to Classic Blogger FTP label pages

2007-07-16T08:59:00.000-07:00

I have a back button on my archive pages that wasn't showing up on my label pages.
On Classic Blogger templates for FTP, the <MainOrArchivePage> tag doesn't work with label pages.

This is for adding a home button (or custom content) to a label page.


<?php
 // place this code wherever you need it.
 // this checks to see if you are on a label page.
  if(strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'/blog/labels/')) {


 // note the backslashes before the double quotes.
 echo "<a href=\"<$BlogURL$>\"><$I18NHome$></a>";
}
?>

Macaroni Icon

2007-07-15T22:15:00.000-07:00

I was surfing on MacUpdate, and saw a utility called Macaroni. I got inspired to do this icon. It has nothing to do with anything, but was just fun to make a macaroni icon.

Caps Warn Icons

2007-06-02T22:49:00.000-07:00

I saw an application on MacUpdate called Caps Warn. Here are a couple of replacement icons for it.

Split & Concat Icon

2007-02-02T23:19:00.000-08:00

Here's a replacement icon for an application called Split&Concat.

PVC Icon

2007-01-30T19:43:00.000-08:00

SlingPlayer Icons

Here are some replacement icons for Sling Media's SlingPlayer application.

3D Rendered XTorrent Icon

2006-09-13T08:21:00.000-07:00

This was just an experiment. I liked Jasper Hauser's icon for XTorrent. I wondered what it would look like if it was rendered in more of the 3D, iApps style. Not intended to be an improvement, just a different take on the idea.

Jadite Coffee Cup

2006-09-11T21:09:00.000-07:00

We have a bunch of dishes that look like this. Anchor-Hocking made a line of restaurant-grade glassware during the '30s and '40s. This would be Fire King model G299, of course.

Menger Sponge Icon

2006-08-30T19:18:00.000-07:00

There was a post on Boing Boing about something called a menger sponge. That's a pretty easy one to model. This would be a level 3 sponge, in case you were interested.
