New Project: Design Jobs on the WallSeptember 8

Design Jobs on the Wall Finally, the job board (Design Jobs on the Wall) that I’ve been working on is launched. It is a very simple job board where you can post or find design jobs. If you have a job opening, please post a job and let me know your thoughts on the workflow. You can post a full-time job for only $75 or a freelance job for $50. Opening special: enter coupon code “promo” to get a 50% discount on your first job listing. Lastly, I would like to thank Justin from Scheetz Designs, for his excellent job on coding the back-end of the job board. Justin is also the guy behind the web design gallery, Design Snack.

Product Review: SumoSacJune 22

SumoSac Once again Sumo Lounge has launched another ingenious product: the SumoSac (super size bean bag). I received a SumoSac couple weeks ago for product review and I gotta tell you, it is one of the most comfortable bean-bag chair I have ever sat in. The SumoSac is a large suede sac filled with shredded furniture grade urethane foam. In addition to its comfort, the Sumosac is stylish and practical. The size of the sac is more than enough space to accommodate two people simultaneously, which is great for playing video games or just chilling with friends. The suede cover is soft and comfy, unlike the nylon cover of the Omni I got a while back. Best of all, it is removable so cleaning is not problem at all. For more details please visit their website.

Then you can combine your element with your friends and it will tell you the relationship between the two of you. If you are interested in adding me to your network, here is my Facebook profile.
