At my 9-to-5 job, I have been working incessantly on this project. Despite layoffs and paycuts, I’ve had my nose to the grindstone slamming out this project with my colleagues.

Not a prize winning portfolio piece, but just what the client ordered.
Meganfurthacadamy.com is a project I’ve been working on over the last few weeks. The whole site was built on Wordpress so the client can make changes as needed without paying excessive fees for a custom content management system.

This week anyway.
After purchasing the Ophelia Vag pillow for my new chocolate couch, I have been on the lookout for great looking white pillows. Because I’m a color and pattern-aholic, it never really occured to me to use white pillows in decorating. Even my bestie, Shannon, has had white pillows on her couch for quite [...]

It’s seemingly impossible to keep [...]

ohbrooke.net is now ohbrooke.com!
On Tuesday I signed closing papers for the sale of my Sacramento home, chopped my hair, and lost my domain name {ohbrooke.net}, all before 11 am. Apparently my hosting company had the wrong email address for me, so they were unable to inform me that the domain was expiring. Somehow in the [...]
