"A Waste of Time / November 20th, 2007 If you want to waste 5 minutes of your life and have a good laugh click below. JohnsMomDotCom

Deconstruct / October, 2007 This is fun to do: Pull an image into illustrator. Preform a live trace on it and then break it apart into its individual layers. Then just start moving stuff around. You can mess with the live trace settings to get different results, but you can create some cool abstract works this way.

CSS and Stuff / June 21, 2007 So in this day and age, css has (or should have) become an integrated part of web design. Every site has at least some level of css within it. But do you remember the good old days when we had to do everything in html? If you're ever bored and want something fun to do, try this: take one of your sites, preferably one with a lot of css positioning and text control and comment out the css link script or any other css script and see what you get. It's very entertaining. To see what this site looks like without css click below. Cssless

Layers as an Image / May, 2007 Using images to create a brand new one is a lot of fun. In this exercise I just picked a subject and then used all of the pics I had of that subject, layered them one on top of the other in a photoshop document and then lowered the opacity of each layer to five percent.

Code as Art / May, 2007 Most people wouldn't consider code as art, but what if you could turn it into just that. I simply took the code off of a few popular sites and layered them in photoshop to create some interesting textures and patterns.

Nintendo Jump Drive v1.0 / April, 2007 I had a few old Nintendo controllers lying around and I needed a new jump drive, so I put two and two together. Maybe this isn't the most efficient and smallest jump drive you've ever seen, but it's definitely one of the cooler ones you've ever seen.

Scratch a Scan / April, 2007 Just as much fun as being a Dj and an abstract artist all in one. All you need is a picture and a scanner. While the scanner is scanning move the image around and follow the scanbar with the image and see what you get. It's pretty cool.
