If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.
-Snoop Dogg

I keep forgetting that I run a company that makes stuff that are seen millions and millions of time a year. So my name or my work pops up in the weirdest places. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I’m on Snoop’s website.

I hizzle entizzle Crizzle Ego Trizzle Wizzle contizzle sizzle yizzle ago for thizzle hizzle of it. Why not? I won sizzle plizzle (just) and it rizzle in somizzle fly pizzle gizzle thrown my wizzle But bizzle of all, I’m pizzle of Snoop’s contizzle now.

Translation: I had entered Crestock’s Ego Trippin’ Wallpaper contest several years ago for the hell of it. Why not? I won second place (just) and it resulted in some fly pimp-gear getting thrown my way. But best of all, I’m part of Snoop’s content now.

Still available for download from Snoop Dogg’s website, My Medicine – A wallpaper design I made for an online contest.

Ever wished you could go back in time and redo things? I could make this one so cool now with what I know. Still, it amuses me to think: some people, somewhere far away from me, have set my work as their desktop backgrounds.

Tech By Design Is About To Move

I think I’m a goldfish. That has to be the answer. I have the same 7-second short term memory span. And they say the little bastards grow as large as their bowl allows. Which probably explains why I’m about to overflow an 8 foot desk at work…and another one at home. I’ve certainly managed to cram the office full. If I get a couple more developers (I’m looking, anyone know anybody, please let me know), they’ll be setting up in the hot tub and the the shower area.

No kidding. We have a 2 person hot tub and a double header shower/steamer contraption in the office. But we’re out of development And we have to move out. We found new space easily enough. It’s literally just down the street.

So here’s Tech By Design’s new address:

Tech By Design
131 West Seeboth St.
Milwaukee, WI 53204

The More Things Change (again and again)

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
– Albert Camus

Welcome to Yet Another Revision of The Blog of Bernard C. Gomez. That’s right…it’s back for no apparent reason at all. Aside from the fact that I actually found enough time to slap this together. Excuse the bugs. You’ll find a few of them. Maybe more.

On this blog:

You will not find useful bits of code to steal. You will not find any mind-blowing layered files to download. You will not find scads of premium mp3 files to shove into your iPod. You won’t find any personal stories and there won’t anything remotely juicy. You won’t even find up to the minute postings on what I just had for breakfast.

You won’t be able to tell what I’m thinking right now.

What you may find is the occasional mention of what we’re up to over at the office. After all, we’re working on some really kick-shit at work.

You may find the occasional image I upload. It’ll have some kind of weird title on it. Maybe if you know enough about me, something will kind of make sense. Kind of. Sort of. Maybe.

To kick this post off (and to see what my blockquote style looks like), I dug up a quote about beginnings and happened to find one by Albert Camus. Give the guy’s The Stranger a read if you haven’t yet.

After all, one of my favorite songs was inspired by the book.
