I know I haven’t posted in a while, so to make up for it, I give you free icons. (You can’t be mad at me now, internet people)

It’s a 4-icon pack, consisting of some of the illustrations in my site. You’ll find them both in Mac and Windows format. I hope you enjoy!

The latest addition to the gallery is a design for American Rivers, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the rivers of America.

The project was to design and build a site which served to elegantly serve PDF manuals for users to download to help them start, manage, and promote their own “blue trails.” It was a fun project to work on, and I’m satisfied with the end result of the design.

So.

I’ve been messing around with a new project from Three Rings called, Whirled.

Essentially, Whirled is an open, community driven, flash world. It’s made up of games, rooms, furniture, and various other things, created, uploaded, and sold by users.

It’s a nifty little project. I was lucky enough to get into alpha testing, but it is now open to the public for beta testing.

Up until now I’ve only been testing it’s capabilities via playing the games, interacting with people, and using other users’ creations. That will all change once my new computer arrives (which should be tomorrow) and I can once again work from my home studio. If you do end up joining, stay tuned to see seanoconnor.info themed creations peppering the “whirled”.

stay tuned.

Wordpress version 2.5 has hit the internets. I’ve just completed the updating process, and the site is now using the latest 2.5 build. I’m pretty impressed with it so far, it seems all my functions and plugins are still in tact, minus a few minor problems that I’ve corrected (by either fixing or disabling). So far, everything seems okay. The auto update feature for the blog and plugins is really nice, and worked flawlessly on the few things I tested it with. The visual/html post editor updates are also nice (although unfortunately a few of my plugin’s TinyMCE buttons have disappeared, which I’m sure will be sorted out eventually). I’m going to be messing around and testing the features today and as the weeks pass, but I’m sure none of ya’ll will see any of that.

As always, if anything is acting wonky on the site, feel free to comment on this post, or head over to the about page and fill out the form.  Thanks, and Stay Tuned!

So, I’m a pretty big fan of 8 bit stylings. I’m especially fond and nostalgic when it comes to 8bit sounds and music made with 8bit sounds. So when my friend Ben pointed me in the direction of MilkyTracker, I couldn’t pass up playing with it. Turns out it’s super fun. I’m not very musically oriented. I had a brief stint as a flautist in school, but I really only retained the ability to read sheet music and perhaps keep a beat better than your average person, but even that may be a stretch. In other words, I’m not so good at the music making. Despite this, I had fun playing around with it, and was able to churn out a little something. Check it out of you would like. Some more may begin to pepper this site occasionally.
