The Bland Brettrospective
As I rekindled my blog I realized its custom theme hadn’t been touched in nearly seven years so as I design and develop the new one I plan to document my decisions and the things I learn here.
Brett
Where Have I Been?
With an already demanding full-time job, I was burning the candle at both ends trying to meet the needs of my clients and the demands of my job and in early 2013 I burnt out.
The LEGO Corner Garage
During DC’s January snowstorm I built LEGO’s newest set, the Corner Garage.
The LEGO Hogwarts Castle
This weekend I headed down to Fredericksburg to assemble the brand-new LEGO Hogwarts Castle, LEGO’s second biggest set ever.
The LEGO Brick Bank
This weekend I tackled the LEGO Brick Bank.
The LEGO Parisian Restaurant
I love the green color of this building.
The LEGO Assembly Square
This weekend I tackled the LEGO Assembly Square, a 4,002 piece, really cool set.
The LEGO Detective’s Office
I recently treated myself to a new LEGO set: the Detective’s Office.
March 1, 1995
In that ponderous moment on the patio at Pepperdine, the voice in my head said to me, “Brett, the world is so much bigger than what you know. Go be a part of it. It’s time to make a bold change. It’s time to move.”
On ExpressionEngine vs. WordPress
Because I was already using ExpressionEngine on a daily basis, I felt that I needed to use WordPress on a website that I would also work with daily so that I would become equally as familiar with it. And so I chose WordPress to be the CMS for brettro.com.
Submitting to Subversion
Learn how integrating the Subversion (SVN) version control system into the Brettro workflow both formalized and streamlined its website production.
Web Designer vs. Print Designer
Brettro outlines the main differences in skill sets required between web designers and graphic designers, but wants you to weigh in.
