Image
Laguna Beach Independent Feature I'm excited that my pallette design was selected by the City of Laguna Beach for the 2013 Holiday Palette competition! The design is based off a photograph of Heisler Park, which I captured during the winter season. I wanted to have the sunset colors convey some of the festive cheer and atmosphere of the holidays! Thank you to Stu New Laguna and the Laguna Beach Independent for featuring the story. Stu News Laguna Feature

How to Mark All Emails as Read in Gmail

Image
This month, Apple updated its iPhone operating system to the new iOS7. From its brilliant aesthetic layout to several internal updates, such as enhanced camera functionality, there are several new features that bring applause Apple's iOS team. 250+ Unread emails after the iOS7 update However, one of my dislikes is how my email inbox suddenly displayed 250+ unread messages. The majority of these unread emails were being imported from my Gmail account. Some of these unread messages dated back to 2005; 3 years before the first iPhone was released. I already seen all these emails – either they were single word email received responses with "ok" or "thanks" or they were sales emails from online retailers and I was not interesting in reading them. In an effort to display less then ten emails in my email icon, I figured out how to quickly mark all of the emails as "read."  3 Simple Steps to Marking All Gmails as "Read"  It'

Hearst Castle

Image
Hearst Castle's Casa Grande Over the long holiday weekend, I visited the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA. The castle was designed by architect Julia Morgan between 1919 and 1947 for entrepreneur William Randolph Hearst. The grounds consist of 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, 19 sitting rooms, 127 acres of gardens, tennis courts, a movie theater, airfield and a private zoo (yes, at one point there were even lions, tigers and a polar bear ..oh, my!) After William Randolph Hearst passed away in 1951, the castle was donated to the State of California in 1957. The tour guide mentioned that before donating to the State of California, the Hearst Corporation tried to sell the property and then donate it to University of California at Berkeley. However, neither Cal Berkeley or any private individual were interested in acquiring the beautiful facility.   It's truly a spectacular destination. If you haven't been in the last few years, the tour is restructured. After the tour, yo

Laguna Beach in 3D!

Image
Laguna Beach's historic Main Beach Lifeguard Tower in 3D The moment arrived! I received my first 3D design ed work of art: Laguna Beach's Main Beach Lifeguard Tower! It's exciting to see an idea take life and move through the various phases of development, from concept to design to production. The artwork is assembled in 3 pieces (tower, base, and boardwalk cover). It's dimensions are 4.89 w x 6.498 d x 5.408 h. I used alumide to create the sculpture, which can support the heat from a small candle. If you are interested in seeing the 3D model of the artwork, click here .

3D Printing: A New Frontier for Creative Thinkers

Image
From investing to creating unparalleled designs, the opportunities with 3D printing continue to amaze me. Companies such as 3D Systems Corporation (DDD) and and Stratasys, Ltd (SSYS) have handsomely returned over 160% and 620% gains respectively to stockholders in the past year. The market caps of these companies range from 3-4 billion and will continue to increase as the demand for their technology increases. Other companies, such as Shapeways have provided a new source of revenue for designers, artisans and creative thinkers. Similar to individuals downloading a music track from iTunes and the musician receiving a royalty, artists can upload their designs to Shapeways and receive a commission every time an individual purchases or "prints" their product.   As 3D printers start to find their way into Staples and other mainstream outlets, we can no longer ignore the presence of this new technology. Everyday people can now create, design and print their own creations or
