I’ve been writing and blogging for over twenty years now. The topics that I typically write about center around my books and writings. However, I also like to write about my experiences and discoveries with web and graphic design. 🧸

I revamped my normalization CSS stylesheet and I cleaned out all the specialized classes that I had implemented in an effort to make this more universally acceptable. This version is far more streamlined and deals only with the core HTML elements. There is still a lot of opinionated stuff in there, so this probably won't be for everyone, or anyone [...]

Today is 3/20/2020 and the namesake for this website, which is named for my birthday 🎂. Otherwise, I wish I had more to offer on this day. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I went ahead and redid my site for the millionth time, mainly because the original header (hero) was too data-heavy, and also not very interesting. Also, I wanted to clean up the look of the site, and improve its mobile presentation as well. The core of this site is a normalization and base HTML5 stylesheet, as well as a companion [...]

I just completed the High-Definition re-rendering of The Mischievous Bears short animated movie.

It goes to show how little 3ds Max has changed after all of these [...]

I recently began playing with 3ds Max again to see if I can load up some of my old renderings. To my amazement very little has changed with that software in the last 12-ish years since I last worked with it. Suffice it to say, I could re-render a few of my old favorites and even made 8x10 prints from [...]

Last Spring, when I rebuilt this website, I used a Raspberry Pi on my home network as an internal web server to host the site development. Setting it up for that purpose was pretty easy once I got PHP/MySQL and WordPress installed on it. However, there were a couple of config files that had to be manually modified which required [...]

It's been 10 years since I registered MarchTwenty.com. The years before I registered this domain name, I had registered march-twenty.com and then later marchtwenty.net. As such, I redesigned the site... again. With luck, I will now try and focus on my next book(s).

I've been dabbling with SketchBook Pro on my iPhone and iPad for over a year now. These are some samples I made on my phone (with my finger).
