MySuiteStuff PS Pillow has arrived!
Back in October, the Envato tuts network held several contests to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. I was fortunate to win one of these contests – a sweet PS pillow from MySuiteStuff! It took a while to get, because they’re all hand made, but I’ve finally got it! Very soft and very cuddly
Kind of funny, it reminds me of a pillow I made for my buddy Eric at PixelChef Creative for his birthday in January. The craftsmanship isn’t as great as the MySuiteStuff pillow, but in my defense, it’s an odd shape that would take practice to perfect.

Yahoo! Homepage Redesign
Lovely surprise when I opened up my browser to Yahoo! today, a brand new homepage design! I relly don’t even use Yahoo! except that I like those random bits of news on their homepage that amuse me when I first open up my browser.

Geocities is Closing Oct 2009
This morning I went to check my email and I received one from Yahoo!
Dear Yahoo! GeoCities customer,
We’re writing to let you know that Yahoo! GeoCities, our free web site building service and community, is closing on October 26, 2009.
On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files.
GeoCities may not be the most glamorous thing on the web, but it is where I (and many others!) first started out. It used to be the best free web hosting space out there with the least amount of ads but the best specs. Granted, my very first website was so full of animated gifs and background music that it took forever to load, but GeoCities gave me the opportunity to learn and grow as a web designer. It gave me a place to discover what HTML was, allowed me to experiment.
I haven’t used GeoCities for many many years, but it surely will be missed. I am saddened by the fact that others will not be able to use its services to grow as I have.
