  1. Wordle Redux

    Just over two years and over twice as many posts after the last one. Also includes Wordles of the blog comments and of Twitter @thrica.
  2. The Art of the Contextual Sidebar

    Wordpress by default has a persistent sidebar which appears on most every page. One thing I’ve noticed while trawling the sites of designers is that usability is greatly improved by making the sidebar contextual – that is, not a generic site-frame that sits on every page. There are several ways one can improve usability on a site with the sidebar; things I will arrange from easy to hard.
  3. Make A Modal Comment Window in WordPress

    For those maintaining WordPress blogs with regular posts, one of the most frustrating things can be getting users to comment regularly. Obviously we want to make this as easy as possible for them. Sure there’s the #comments anchor that we can link to after they’ve read the article that jumps to the bottom of the [...]
  4. The Thrica Network joins the Illuminati

    The Illuminati has been making overtures to me of late. Never one to pass up an opportunity to lord secret power over unsuspecting masses, I quickly accepted. But it seems they’ve been planning to induct me for a while. An observant reader has recently brought to my attention a startling fact which it may behoove [...]
  5. An Update on AguaT

    Hello all, It’s been a while since I’ve updated AguaT. Usually that’s because I simply don’t have the time to do so with all the other things I do; it’s rather low on my priorities. However, since upgrading to Snow Leopard, time is no longer my limiting factor. It seems ThemePark, the tool I use [...]
  6. A Manifesto on the Abolition of Copyright Protections

    I am pleased to announce the completion and immediate availability of a manifesto for the copyright abolitionist, as well as a more academic companion paper going into detail on some of the claims made in the manifesto, A Social Utility Model of Intellectual Property Enforcement. These may both be found on the new Writings page, [...]
  7. Safari 4′s Messy Trail

    Those of you who’ve been trying out the new Safari 4 beta – at least on the Mac, though I imagine you could find similar data trails on the Windows version too – have no doubt been impressed at its shiny new features. But if you’re a stickler for disk space like I am, or [...]
  8. Evolution of a Logo

  9. Wordle

    This is the Wordle of the blog so far. I would have expected to see more economics relative to theology, but maybe economics just has a more varigated vocabulary. Or maybe I write about God a lot more than I realize.
  10. Ambassador-Camp.org

    The new Ambassador Camp website has just gone live. From the Portfolio page: Ambassador Camp is an Christ-centered summer camp in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina. This site was taken on after the old domain was lost to a hosting company that went under, and moves them from a very basic Frontpage website to something both [...]
  11. Campus Crossroads

    Campus Crossroads is a campus church at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We want to redefine church to our generation. For too long we have been taught that church is a place you go. It is a building; it is an organization. Biblically, the church is none of these things. It is [...]
  12. Epta Astera

    Epta Astera is a gregorian folk metal band based in Chapel Hill, whose entire branding, including cover art and web design, were done by me. This is a redesign for their second album, SALIGIA, which features cathedral architecture on the front, and the logo prominently displayed. Like the last design for Ero Cras, the header [...]
