More of a self-reminder than anything else, here are two recent Apple MacBook issues and their respective solutions:Josh VanTassel’s MacBookIssue: When attempting to boot up, after the initial gray screen, a black screen with the message “Error : non-system disk. Press any key to reboot.” appears and will not go away without a force-reboot.Resolution: Resetting the PRAM or SMC did nothing. After several attempts to start up from a backup Tiger CD failed, I ...

Nathan, Jimison, Courtney and I sat down for a much needed movie trailer session and even though we only had time to enjoy about 20 or so, I think it was still a good thing we had going.

IF : Foggy (uploaded by DRA Studio)It is currently 7:00 am the following day, and I am still hyped up on the rush that is iPhone 3G. My class ran for close to the entire 8 hours, so we (Jodie and I) didn’t get to the Apple Store at Millenia until around 6:30pm. Luckily, Courtney was holding spots for us.Four or so hours later, we had Chris the Apple Genius help us purchase and set up ...

indie peek (uploaded by DRA Studio)The past week or so has been one late night after another … staying up until 5 am, sleeping until noon, getting ready for lectures and then doing it all over again. The plus is that I am shaving stuff right off of my pending to-do list and keeping up with my development schedules. Yay for on time work!Enjoy this composite. It is for Jason Padgett. I am off to finally ...

Vinyls (uploaded by DRA Studio)So I have really been enjoying the thrift store shopping I have been doing lately. Some new shirts, an electric pencil sharpener, and more wonderful goodies. Besides two MXPX albums that I didn’t already have, the two books I picked up this weekend at the local Christian thrift store are probably what I am most excited about. A Wrinkle in Time and Loser by Jerry Spinelli (my favorite childhood author). Yay!(These LPs, ...

Here we are, at it again. Saturday night’s trailer judges gave an average score of 7 (except for the German judge … 5 on that one). Enjoy the treats!Meet BillJimison – “Meet Stupid … he brought Bill with him.”Shotgun StoriesJodie – “Is he at least wearing pants at the funeral?

We realized tonight that it has been a while since the four of us have gotten a chance to enjoy some yummy movie trailers together, so Jodie, Courtney, Jimison and I got together and worked our way through a few of the over 130 trailers we have missed. Hope you enjoy!BlindessJodie – “Danny Glover with an eye patch. Nuh’ said.”War, Inc.Jimison – “The Cusacks go to war!”Glass, a Portrait of Philip In 12 PartsCourtney – ...

You tell me.Run Fat Boy Run – “It’s the fat little engine that could!” – BenThe Dark Knight – “Summer 2008 … not soon enough.” – CourtneyVince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show – “Can’t I just watch these for free on Comedy Central?” – JodieBilly the Kid – “So apparently ...

Meadow – Angle (uploaded by DRA Studio)Michelle and I decided to paint some books tonight while watching You’ve Got Mail (somewhat silly, I know) … this one goes out to “Evil Annie” … who has been waiting on something from me for a long long time now.Here’s to hairy mammoth’s and their sincere love and hoping that “Evil Annie” is reading this and will email me about confirming her address again.Love!

After a fun night out, our movie review gang (Jodie, Courtney, Jimison and I) headed back home and watched a couple of new movie trailers.

The Break – Curl Sand (uploaded by DRA Studio)Just finished up what will probably be the final version of “The Break” logo for Jared … now to work on a 2-color version for the shirt.

The Break – Proof 2 (uploaded by DRA Studio)Head over to flickr and check out the 3 mockups I did for Jared Curtis’ youth project, called “The Break”.I think I like one of these.

Giant Man Baby – Site (uploaded by DRA Studio)I just finished implementing the new CSS stylesheet for Jason’s new video company site, Giant Man Baby Productions. I was given a logo created by a friend (Andrew Sale) and tagline … then pretty much ran with it.I really feel that this design is going to be a lot of fun. It is simple clean and as soon we get some free time, adding in the Flash ...

Substance – Black n White (uploaded by DRA Studio)A preliminary design of shirt artwork for Justin Pressly. The early black and white version, though the design did start in my Physical vs. Digital sketchbook.

The title for this post seems fitting, seeing as how the many of the movies currently out and/or being promoted are of horrible quality/substance. Let’s see if we can find anything worth watching …Southland Tales – Neither Jodie or myself know what this movie is about. Seriously, this could be a trailer for any movie … or even a movie just pieced together with clips from 10 other movies. Would it help anything if I ...

So I know that I have been hitting the movie trailers pretty hard this week, but really, what is wrong with that? Here I go again, this time with some trailers that Jodie probably won’t want to watch with me.Saw IV – Wow. Not really much of a trailer at all … but then again, I haven’t really followed the series, so I don’t have anything invested in another sequel.Hatchet – Uh … this just ...

iPod Love Bag (uploaded by DRA Studio)If you’re like me, you have fallen in love again with iPods … especially the new touch. How simply wonderful, though direct downloads could prove to be pretty dangerous for impulse music lovers.Here is one of the shots of the iPod pattern I painted on Courtney’s old Fossil purse. Click thru for more.

I am wounded with much injure,due in fault to my own perjury.With this day’s new dawn,my wound is open, anew … and now, un-gone.I have dreamed a lover’s dream,one of hope and peace serene.It was filled with love and its desires,a past pushed to forgetful mires.It hurts and pains to dwell on you;you, that fleeting doe on morning’s dew.Dreams have glimpsed to ending solitude,but in truth, it is false hope imbued.I though of you and ...

It really is. I am loving my new Full Sail job and being at Apple (especially after all of this recent fun) is just so great.Had a good ole’ time night before last … Tyler is finally back in town from his months at CIY, so we spent the night story-boarding a video he and Jason are making. Man … that was so much late night goodness! Before that, Tyler and I hit up a ...
