News in the 21st Century

(timings are approximate)
Hour 0: news is created/disseminated from the source

Hours 0-30: people with a direct interest micro-blog (Tweeting, fb-status, etc.), text, and blog about it.

Hours 12-48: people with a secondary interest micro-blog, text, and blog about it.

Hours 24-72: dinosaur print and broadcast media start to disseminate the story.


I Could Use Some Input

I've been sporadically working on a complete redo of my portfolio site and think it is time to come up with a new artist's statement. I could use some new verbiage to get the words flowing.

How would you describe my work or my style?

Showing Only the First Image in the Teaser for a Drupal 7 Image Field

By default, a Drupal 7 image field that is set to contain multiple images, will display all of the images in both the teaser and full node view. While desirable, there is no option when creating a view to only show the first image in the teaser. This can be accomplished, however, with the new Drupal 7 field-level template-hint.

In order do this globally for a field named "field image" the following code in a template file named "field--field_image.tpl.php"

<div class="<?php print $classes; ?> clearfix"<?php print $attributes; ?>>


Of Photoshop and Dresses

A good job in Photoshop is like a great dress. If a woman is wearing a great dress people will think, "What a beautiful woman" when she walks in the room and not even notice the dress. A mediocre dress overpowers the woman. Likewise, with good work in Photoshop, people will only notice the beauty of the image and never realize what was done to get it there.
