Jquery animate() and IE8
So, I ran across a little note today in jquery. When using the animate() function, IE will not accept a shorthand version of the css. Firefox and Chrome will, but it will break in IE. What we would intuitively write as

Flash Video
Flash Video (FLV) Background
I just got done putting together some compositions for two new clients I signed on the other day, the UL-8 and the UL-11 Hydroplane teams. With amazing photos and videos from my dad, Walt at NWspeedshots
, these are looking to be some amazing projects. I was tinkering with the idea of putting the in-boat video as a background, maybe muted out colors. After thinking this, I wondered if it would even be possible. Boy was I suprised. Not only is full background flash do-able, It comes out amazing! Take a look at the links at the bottom of the page, the proof is in the pudding. The FLV format takes files and crunches them into 1/10th the size they normally take up. Absolutely amazing. I will be working with the ins and outs of controlling the videos soon, first, I have to get the clients to sign off on this amazing look.

Vector Illustrations
Illustrator CS3
Over the past few days in class, I have been listening to all of my fellow classmates rave about Illustrato
r. Until this year, I had only briefly used Illustrator, became lost without an Eraser or Selection tools, and switched back to Photoshop. However, after hearing my friends comments, I decided to give a college try. Coincidentally, my Photoshop class has just started going over the advantages of vector shapes, and how to create them in PS. After browsing through the chapter, I found a very good link to a tutorial site called vexels.com . I Looked over some of the 
tuts posted there and then tried my hand and vectoring a photo of my brothers and I on a chair lift at Mt. Hood Meadows this December. After about 3 hours worth of pen-tooling, I had a respectable result. To tell the truth, it's actually kind of therapeutic. This came after reading my XHTML and AS3 books for the previous 4 hours, so the decrease in brainpower needed to complete the task 
was welcomed. As it turns out, I really like this style of art. I am looking to refine my skills a bit more on some other images, like the one I did of my brother (again) at Crystal Mountain (right). This work has some text and a little more artistic feel to it, rather than just tracing an image. I really look up to the people out there creating completely full peices of art using only the pen tool and their imagination. Soon I will be there.
For some inspiration, log onto www.behance.net and browse through the projects or artists there, some amazing stuff for sure. I liked this :

Awesome Color and 3d work. Imagine the time invested in that one.

Hello Everyone
Hi everyone!
This is Steve, coming to you from my apartment in Seattle. I thought I would say a little something about what this is and what I hope this blog will become. As of now, this site will function as a spot for me to quickly share and comment on new work that I am doing. By posting these things, I hope to receive feedback from both the public, current clients, and future clients. This will allow for rapid prototyping and increase the communication level between everyone involved. For the time being, that is at least until this post is pushed off the front page, this Blog will serve as a place for my friends and family to view my projects. I hope you all take a few minutes to look around and give me some feedback on the projects you see posted here!
