Well, Hello There!

Me

Welcome! You've reached my little shanty on the web here at Adam M Wood.com. You, my friend have found a great place. Here you'll get to find out all about me. I am a web designer by day and yes, I did quit my day job!. I am currently a freelance web designer through my little outfit called Delusional Designs and things are great! If your interested in a web site, a logo, or anything in between then please visit Delusional Designs. I promise you will be happy with the results and not pay a lot. That sounded like a commercial, did it not?

My main focus is web and graphic design but I also have a bunch of other past times and hobbies. I've been learning how to blow glass for over a while now and love every minute of it. It's a great artistic skill and it is wonderful to create glass sculptures, vessels, and just about anything else that I can dream of out of glass. I also love to listen to live music (and just music in general), rock climb here and there, go hiking and camping out an about, and I am glad to be in my new home of Portland, OR. Stick around and check out my site. I promise you will learn a lot about me!

Check out Fotoopa on Flickr to see some of the amazing shots that this gentlemen shoots.  Awesome and precise!  Below is a picture of his setup.  As you can read from his Flickr account he has a crazy setup with pretty much the full deal going on for close ups aka macro photography.  Awesome!

View his flickr acount or check out his website. Amazing work!

Mt. Dew Throwback

Interesting! I haven’t tried it yet but being an old Mt. Dew junkie I look forward to testing her out. What did they do before this “Real Sugar thing”? Use fake sugar? Oh yeah, it was fake sugar.

Google add’s me to it’s favorite places!?!

Google's Favorite Place

I’m now one of Google’s Favorite Places.  I’m honored!

Well really,  my house is honored as I’m not the Google favorite place, my house / home office  is.  The information that came with the sticker said that “Delusional Designs” had been looked up 1000+ times on Google Local Listings and 78 people have gotten driving directions to it.  Does it count friends that have previously looked up my address to find where I live and how to get over to my place?

Too bad the map on the sticker doesn’t have the real map on it.  It’s a map of San Fransisco.  Weak!

The sticker is a good idea.  It’s double sided with both sides having the weird bar code area.  It’s not really bars but it a little symbol that they are going to use in the future for identification of locations.  You take a picture of the “bar code” and it checks Google for the business listing.   Interesting idea.  I would take it that they are trying to match and outdo the “People love us on Yelp” stickers I see everywhere around town.  I did hear that Google might buy Yelp!

Another Nice Site I Found

Adam December 17th, 2009

I stumbled upon (no, it’s not from stumbleupon.com) this site and thought I would share. It’s got a lot of cool photo’s, cool designs, and many other cool things. Wow, that was a cool sentence.

Have fun. http://www.hipbip.com
