27-inch iMac Display Firmware Update

Apple has fixed a problem with the new 27″ iMacs regarding intermittent display flickering and occasional blackouts. This issue affects the new 27″ iMacs with a ATI Radeon HD 4670 or 4850 graphics card. I noticed this happening on my new iMac last week, I had a random white bar that would flicker on my screen, and once in a while my screen would turn black for a second or two. The update can be downloaded at your apple software update, or you can download it here

Happy New Year!

2009 was a good year for me, I was able to work with some amazing people, form new relationships with new clients, and continue to grow my business. I purchased a home with my fiance and finally created the home studio I have always dreamed of… a big open space! I think the economy is getting back on track as I saw a flood of new companies inquiring about their advertising needs towards the tail end of 2009. I am excited about this year and what it has to offer. I wish everyone huge success, health and happiness in 2010.

Open DNS Firefox fix

If you are using Firefox and have noticed your address bar searches or url’s are being redirected to an Open DNS search engine here is the fix. This started for me last week and drove me nuts, mainly because I rarely type .com after a url in the address bar. Here is a link to the Firefox add on Feeling Lucky Fixer, just install and restart Firefox and the Open DNS page is a thing of the past.

zephyrstudio.com v.3 is live… finally

Well after a couple months of trashing layouts, not having enough hours in the day to work on it, and being overly critical of myself, my site is now live.

Check back for blog post on everything from design to surfing to amusing stuff I come across during my long days at a computer. Make sure to check out my friends links especially Antonea Nabors who I have been working with on several projects and who is an amazing web and print designer.
