I’m excited to announce that I have started training through the National AIDS Marathon Training Program to run in the San Francisco Marathon on August 3, 2008. It’s an issue close to my heart. I have lost many friends to the disease over the course of the pandemic. I am running in their memory and to make a contribution to my community, which has suffered tremendous losses.

In this project, I helped produce simplified versions of complex 3-D vector logos in order to ensure more predicable, consistent and accurate color output across press and desktop output devices around the world. Unnecessary masks were eliminated. Gradients were positioned in-place in the triangle and trapezoidal shapes. The gradient mesh highlight on each ribbon was simplified. This art was produced in flat spot backgrounds with gradient overprints, in addition to the four-color process versions... Read→

Apparently not, as she missed three days of work and had... Read→

We traveled through San Francisco, the East Bay, the Sacramento Delta, the Central Valley, Gold Country into the Sierra Nevada mountains cresting at over 7000 feet before descending... Read→
I’ve discovered that when I run, my mind and body tune into each other and everything in my life becomes clear. Recently, I’ve been doing long runs a few weekends each month. I run a little over 13 miles, from the Ferry Building in San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge and back. It is certainly one of the most beautiful runs in the world. The proximity of natural and man-made wonders, the contrasts between the City and Presidio National Park, all the wonderful scents of seafood and sourdough... Read→
