ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) accredits registrars. To view a list of accredited domain registrars, click here.

When you register a domain, you must give the registrar a list of name servers. Name servers are provided by your host and tell the domain where to point to. They are usually in the following formats: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM, NS2.DREAMHOST.COM (where DREAMHOST is the name of the host). If you don’t have a host yet, your domain will automatically be parked (which means it just sits there waiting, as in a parking lot).

Intel is using anthropology and other social science disciplines to “develop a deep understanding of how people live and work.” The knowledge is then used by Intel to inform and guide strategy and tech development. Read the article at Businessweek.

by Elena Corchero. A collection of accessories for the eco-fashion-minded in which technology meets tradition. Explores delicate ways of incorporating organic solar cells and other electronic components into textiles. Embroideries and prints recall endangered birds. The pieces are charged while used outdoors during the day. In the evening they transform into a decorative ambient light display for the home. From Siggraph, Unravel, 2007.

As well as showcasing computer graphics, the Siggraph exhibition has also hosted a fashion show featuring garments augmented by technology. The aim was to show that the merging of textiles and technology can be elegant and need not resemble a robot’s cast offs. The suit produces a five volt output that, via the attached USB connector, can recharge gadgets like the iPod. The only drawback is that wearing it means no dip in the pool to cool off. Read More.

Welcome to the spring semester. This site is intended as a resource for graphic design students of all levels.

As you can see, I stopped writing posts in 2006, when I began teaching in Mexico. At that time I focused on developing another site with Spanish language resources. The links on this site, however, have been updated during that time through the present. I hope you’ll find them useful.

In his second solo exhibition, Marc Bell seamlessly combines his decade plus comics activities with his lifelong devotion to, as he calls it, “Fine Ahtwerks.” The result is over eighty drawings, watercolors, paintings and mixed media constructions of a fully formed visual world of tubular creatures, inexplicable landscapes, and nonsense words that imply narrative as quickly as they distract from it. One of the works in the exhibition is the long, scroll-like ink drawing on EKG paper “Supernatural Hot Rug and Not Used II,” 2004 - a composition teeming with Bell’s manically animated people and quasi animals amidst text rife with free-associations. In the mixed media construction “(Hide Behind Bloo Chip) Kid,” 2005, a complex melange of people, creatures, forms and buildings constructed from cardboard, we see his work has roots in masterful renderings, typography, and old-fashioned gags, but then grows into assemblages that bring his images into real space, and funny, seat-of-the pants comic narratives that give his characters an inner life.
