Last night on the subway I rode across from an older russian lady. She must have been Russian, because she had that eurotrash air about her. She also was rocking a revealing shirt, whose laces were unlaced giving all the grandpas on the train something to think about.

*You go grandma!*

The Summer. The Business. The Side Projects. The Driver’s License. The Art Funk. The Heat. The Beach. The Boroughs. The Target in Brooklyn. The President. The Books I want to read. The Free Concerts in Prospect Park. The Music. The Watercolors. The Cat.

These are the parts of my personality. There is a happy mixture somewhere, but at the moment I have been feeling more driven to my design work than anything else. This is why I am announcing that while I am not going to stop writing, the subject of my writings will change.

Clients now read my site.

I cannot be as frank as I would like to without changing my format. Much like a radio station, the occasional re-branding might help bring focus to me and my content.

So, from today on, I am retreating back into the parts of my life that I have neglected to discover where and what I want to put on this website and what parts of my life I feel comfortable in revealing to you all. Thank you for your continued support and friendship, I hope to be back in full effect here soon.

This doesn’t mean I wont be posting, but rather it means that I may be exploring what my content might be.

I just bought a CARL corner rounder and let me tell you, no piece of paper in my office is un-rounded. For less than $5 from Staples you too can remove your sharp, pointy edges and enjoy a thoroughly rounded lifestyle.

I spent most of today rounding all the corners of my business cards and I think tomorrow I will have a go at all the paper in the fax machine. I just can’t say enough about my corner rounder.

*Watch out photographs!*

Here it goes again. My life revolves around my websites and as such, when my hosting company doesn’t answer my e-mails, shuts down their new accounts and says they are restructuring the firm to create a better user experience, I like to say “thanks, but no thanks.” Although I understand that they are doing the responsible thing, I have no faith in responsible things.

*Nor do my clients.*

That being said I am again moving my website to another web host. You shouldn’t notice any change in the website, or it’s service, but I thought I would mention it… just in case. I will still be at “http://upthetree.com”:http://upthetree.com but you may notice that my posts may get interrupted here or there.
