Craving a New Look

posted on: Thursday, October 9, 2008

I have been craving a new look for my blog for a long time and thanks to a very blunt comment by my brother-in-law it actually happened

me: "Hey Adam can you look at my blog and tell me why my pictures don't align?"
Adam: "It seems like you have way bigger design issues first before you can think about the pictures"

Adam is blunt and and extremely helpful. He helped pick the new color scheme. It's amazing how this guy sees colors. Must be because he's the best photographer in the world.

And thanks to my sister-in-law Sienna and her awesome design skills it all came together. I wish I could thank her by making some yummy food for her but the truth is that she's a way better cook than me. I could make her some Brazilian food but she's in Brazil right now touring around for 2 months. How lucky is she?! You can read about her adventures and even her food finds here.

And thanks to Badi Jones who happens to have mad html skills and also be a SEO genius he was able to code everything just right.

It's so nice having family and friends with useful skills. It's hard to come by in my circle in Santa Cruz since all people know how to do in Graduate School is read books and complain about being stressed.

  7. oh, and p.s., to be lovingly blunt from this side, your profile picture could be better too. You are so pretty but it doesn't quite capture that, as creative and artsy as it is...

  8. Thanks Metta,
    I hate the profile picture. I need to find a better one. It's just that when I go through thousands of pictures in my computer all I have is food and Enzo. surprise. surprise.
