Get Your Free Logos!

Since I’m such a talented designer I thought I’d pound out a couple of logos on spec. Here they are, and they rock.

Vote Mat

For the Vote Mat poster design I wanted to capture that Wild West feel of San Francisco and portray Mat as a sensitive American. I nailed it.

Vote Mat

Moleskine

For the Moleskine Logo campaign I wanted to make something people would remember for the rest of their lives. Once again, I totally nailed, you know, because I’m an awesome designer.

About Dwarves

...and my axe.Time: “But TIME is the first to bring you this image of two characters from the film, dwarves named Balin and Dwalin.”

My brother should enjoy reading this. He was a Dwarf in a former life and carried a huge battle axe.

@Fahrni vs. @JFahrni

I’m not so sure I like the outcome of this? I’m a gamer and I drink a bottle and my brother is a techie? (He’s a techie, but you know what I mean) Strange, but fun.

The Past Weblog: My First Windows App

The original Rob Fahrni weblogrob.crabapples.net: “Back when I was a young programmer… That seems like the correct way to introduce you to my first ever Windows application. I’ve kept the code for many years, and I’ve only recently moved it from 3.5″ floppies to a CD. I was checking out the code a couple of days ago and boy have I come a VERY LONG way since that project.”

I just happened to stumble upon this post while Googling for something to use in another post. My old weblog served me well and has become a bit crufty over time. The archives still work and the site still gets quite a few hits a day thanks to Google, and a nice nine-year run. (Wow, I forgot to celebrate my 10th year of weblogging, darn.)

My work on iOS based applications reminds me of my time back in my early Windows development days. It was so exciting and new. I had so much to learn and I was excited about learning it. That’s how I feel about iOS today. It’s a very exciting time.

Anywho, the link to the code for Rob’s Tic-Tac-Toe still works.

Maybe I should do an iOS version, just for old times sake?

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman.The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving:“The next morning the old horse was found without his saddle, and with the bridle under his feet, soberly cropping the grass at his master’s gate. Ichabod did not make his appearance at breakfast—dinner-hour came, but no Ichabod. The boys assembled at the schoolhouse, and strolled idly about the banks of the brook; but no school-master. Hans Van Ripper now began to feel some uneasiness about the fate of poor Ichabod, and his saddle. An inquiry was set on foot, and after diligent investigation they came upon his traces. In one part of the road leading to the church was found the saddle trampled in the dirt; the tracks of horses’ hoofs deeply dented in the road, and evidently at furious speed, were traced to the bridge, beyond which, on the bank of a broad part of the brook, where the water ran deep and black, was found the hat of the unfortunate Ichabod, and close beside it a shattered pumpkin.”

Like I said, be careful tonight trick or treaters.
