I'm planning on using the blog to post and discuss design work as I get projects.  My big project right now is with ... http://www.creatingmyself.com/?p=15 Hello, and welcome to CreatingMyself.com.  Soon enough there will be beauty here, but for the moment, only what you see.  Stay tuned, and prepare yourself... for the magic. http://www.creatingmyself.com/?p=1
