Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.

Twins

Twins. Originally uploaded by NIXON*NOW.

Let's get started this week with a birth announcement: We are the proud parents of two new Nintendo DS Lites in the Nixon home. After much research and debate we decided to adopt twins versus one Sony PSP. (It all takes me back to a time when I wanted a Super Nintendo SO BAD for Christmas and my parents delivered the goods...I was one happy Super Mario playing kid.) Anyways, Rebecca's likes to play the New Super Mario Bros. Mine is addicted to the super cheesy warfare in Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Sometimes they run off and play together. We have yet to name them, but one thing is for sure -- life is never the same after you have twins.

In dancing news it is apparently all about the Pool Palace. Learn it, film it, then put it on YouTube like everyone else. And don't miss the banned Xbox 360 ad. I can see how people might get sensitive about something like this, but it reminds of being a kid again -- "bang! bang!" And how about this for random: "The N to the O to the R to the R to the I to the S. Chuck Norris. This is the chorus." (Dear YouTube, Thank you for all the good times and laughs. I love you. - nix)

Don't forget to pick up your Stewart/Colbert'08 shirt at Busted Tees. It's never to early to start campaigning. Need to find the bumper stickers now. (Speaking of T-shirts: Nix-on! Nix-off! Adding that one to my collection.)

Finally, let's all welcome Andrei back with a new Design By Fire. He's looking sharper than ever and is even razzling and dazzling a bit with some super slick page transitions.
