I am in the process of updating the SkyBlueCanvas software and all of the sites. I work on this project in my spare time outside of my job so please bear with me. It could take me some time to get everything up-to-date. Thanks for your patience.

Our friends at Iconify.it have issued a Call For Entries to participate in a fun logo showcase. The idea is to have some fun sharing your very first logo design and your all-time favorite logo (that you designed) to compare how your style and skills have changed over time.

My friend Noah has put together a demo video of a show based on his Skull-A-Day project. Check out the video on his site at http://skulladay.blogspot.com/2011/03/morbid-attractions.html and spread the word. The pilot is really well done and I would definitely watch a show like this.

I have launched a new blog at Explainify.it. The new blog is my personal online journal of stuff I like, dislike or find interesting, maddening or humorous.

I have been working on open source projects for almost as long as I have been a programmer. In the course of my career and my work on SkyBlueCanvas and WYMeditor, I have interacted and talked with a lot of people about open source. There are a lot of misconceptions about what Open Source is and is not.

I have moved all of the SkyBlueCanvas project code to Source Forge to try to better organize all of the resources. You can view the project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/skybluecanvas/

I have posted a new update of SkyBlueCanvas version 1.1 (r247). This latest update fixes a few bugs and integrates some of the more commonly-used add-ons into the standard distribution. The new release is aimed at making template conversion much easier.

I am very happy to announce that the first ever commercially available Premium Template, designed by Qiming Weng, has been released on ThemeForest.net.
