Episode 1: Replacing Your Eyes [mp3 link released on July 24, 2012]
We’re posting our pilot episode of On the Grid! We’ve been recording the show for a few weeks now, we’ve done tests that will probably never see the light of day, and we’re finally ready to launch episode one.
We plan on using the show to discuss design through recent events and news. Hopefully you’ll enjoy a mix of design conversation, joking side comments, and discussion of the issues that affect us as designers.
We’re very excited to start this new podcast, and we know it will be may a bit of a process to find our voice, so we can appreciate a good to critique.

I’m starting a podcast called On the Grid with Andy Mangold and Dan Auer to discuss design news and topics.
We’ve decided to make the logo design process public and up for critique, so if you’re a designer and have a moment, take a look at the studies, follow us for new ideas, and post your critiques in the comments.

I’m now testing a full featured version of the hasaportfolio theme. My plan is the make it a paid theme once it’s completed.
The full featured version will work with all post types (finally text and audio that everyone has been asking for). I’m also adding a few more options that you will be able to toggle on and off.
During the testing, I’m opening it up to feedback, so if you have any long standing issues or feature requests, now’s the time to post them.
