One Shot Coffee Website Launch
1 Comment »
For those who live or work in Northern Liberties, One Shot Coffee is a rather well-loved fixture. Owner Melissa Baruno and her team made a collosal effort over the last year to bring the new One Shot Coffee location into existence. Now recently opened, the new building boasts two floors with area enough for live performances, private parties, and more.
The One Shot’s new interior is a masterpiece of eclectic harmony—be sure to drop by if you are in the ‘hood and check out the greatly expanded food and drink menus! And now for the delightfully lazy, there is even delivery service!

Installing Epson Perfection 1200U Scanner XP Drivers under Vista and Windows 7
72 Comments »
Like myself, many folks still own the popular Epson 1200 Photo or 1200U scanner. Likewise, many of us have transitioned to Vista or Windows 7. Unfortunately, Epson, in their “wisdom” has failed to provide working Vista or Windows 7 drivers for these older scanners—preferring no doubt that we all go out and purchase a new scanner instead. It’s called “planned obsolescence,” no doubt the most annoying trend in the hardware and software industries.
Fortunately, there is a workaround that preformed well in my case. This involved using the most recently available Windows XP Twain drivers installed under Windows 7 using Windows XP compatibility mode. For Vista users the process should follow the same principles.
[Edited: If you are using a 64-bit version of Vista or Windows 7, you may wish to attempt the method outlined by Equinox in the comments to this post.]
Step 1: Download the most recent version of the Epson Twain drivers from the Epson site. At the time of writing this was TWAIN Driver v5.53A (for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98 – epson10245.exe – 4.6MB – posted on 02/25/02). The file bundle is a self-extracting Zip archive. Note the location of the download.

Kate Samworth Website Launch
Leave a Comment »
Oddly enough, several years before Kate Samworth contacted me to develop her new portfolio site, I’d purchased a print of her’s entitled “Pride and Joy” at a gallery in the Old City area of Philadelphia.
Kate had been rather productive since then—having finished a large group of new paintings, and now busy preparing for two shows the following month. “Can you finish it up by then,” she asked. Simply, “Of course,” I replied.
I don’t mind short deadlines—fortunately, I do “methodical” and “organized” as well as anyone when the situation requires.
We’re all happy with the outcome.

Ethreations eCommerce Store Launch
Leave a Comment »
Ethreations is a new online storefront dedicated to becoming your online resource for refined, artisanal paper media products. Their first product is a line of hand-made CD/DVD media holders—perfect for professional wedding and family photographers, or anyone wanting to simply jazz up a gift for a friend or loved one.
Personally, I am rather fond of the ‘rusty copper’ version with two sleeves over on the side, but there are enough variations for any taste.

Bridget Foy’s Restaurant Website Relaunch
1 Comment »
The Bridget Foy’s restaurant has been a staple of South St. since well before I arrived in Philadelphia in the early 90s. I’ve always appreciated their tasty menu—from the calimari appetizers and burgers to the mahi mahi, grilled tuna and eggplant napoleon.
Recently, Bridget Foy’s completely remodelled their two upper floors to create a new private party area for up to 100 people. Flat panel TVs, music equipment and a private bar are just some of the new features of this great space.
Be sure to drop by for Restaurant Week, January 17-30, 2010. Get a 4-course dinner ($35), lunch ($20) or something from special weekend brunch menu.
