Hey Guys
I currently have a serious theme in the works. I mean a COMPLETE overhaul. We’re talking about the entire GUI (including springboard to app transitions), Icons, Wallpaper(s), Dock, Battery, Keyboard, SBSetting, and even some specific apps such as BeejiveIM (Message Bubbles), StickyNotes (paper image), Weather, and the Notifier Widget Title-bar icons.
Yes its ambitious. Yes I’m the only one working on it. Yes its going to be a lot of work. Yes i could use some help. Yes, if you’d like to help you can.
I’ve got a pretty good handle on how to do what I’ve listed. But any suggestions and help is welcome.
What I’m really looking for right now is to compile a list of the most used apps from the theme-ing community and anyone else using an iTouch or iPhone.
SO…IM ASKING IF YOU GUYS & GALS CAN POST A RESPONSE, MESSAGE ME, GET IN TOUCH SOMEHOW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT APPS YOU USE MOST. (exclude apps you’ve only used once or twice)
*If you really want to be a big help and there is an app you use ALOT but dont see getting much attention from the theme creators (and you suspect is not to popular yet) give me a sentence or two about it and i’ll do my best to satisfy your request.
Lastly if you want to actively help with this theme let me know and we’ll correspond.
A lot of it is still on paper. I’ll update when necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help and contributions.
If you plan on stealing/ripping off the idea, I’d rather you just tell me and we can work on it together…you know like collaborate.

The complete lack of originality…no, the complete lack of even striving for originality in the film industry makes me want to vomit. They are remaking remakes….really? how is this ok? how do these people have maintain any sort of dignity or pride? Its like a blatant “we’re only trying to make money off of this”
what’s originality or creativity? thats out of style.
…thats all.

But fun nonetheless. My brother recently (bout 4 months ago) opened a bar in downtown New Haven. He asked me to do the New Years Eve party flyer. Here it is.

Moved and Buzzed
December 17, 2008 · 2 Comments
So ive been moving out of my apartment in savannah and am now in Connecticut. 16 boxes, $380 poorer, and 502 lbs lighter, all that comprises my life traversed the east coast with me following closely behind it. Right before i left i had myself a haircut…and it went terribly wrong…my family made that clear and so i buzzed it all off…and im suprisingly satisfied. Everything from my beard stubble to my head of hair is the same length.
Any ways moving on. Ill get this blog started a bit more seriously after i get done what i came up north to do:
GET A JOB
After that i should make something more serious and more worthy of visiting out of this wordpress.
So hold your horses…something will be coming in the hopeful near future. Until then it will most likely be more of me re assuring you of the impending future.
Take Care.

Web Existence

This is my web presence.
My future posts will range from scraps of thoughts to works in progress to full fledged rants… while trying to bring everything back to the subject of art culture, more specifically the design culture. I tend to not stay that focused much of the time so you can expect to see me color outside the lines on occasion, if not often. Id love to hear any and all feedback from anyone who finds them self interested in reading SOULOPTIC on a regular basis. I also urge you to bug me on aim or gtalk (ngrapp1, ngrapp@gmail.com respectively).
Things you can expect from SoulOptic:
Art Design Technology Some Polling Goodies here and there.
Of course this is all subject to change as this seedling sprouts…or not. Time will tell. Im looking forward to this.
See you soon.
