If you know Kent, you know the man just does NOT ever slow down. Appropriately, Kent has been racing in Baja for over a decade. I was there at his first solo Baja 500 in the pit crew and recently I was able to lend some support again. This time in the redesign of his website. (I haven’t touched the online store portion.) If you haven’t caught up with Kent lately I think you’ll enjoy browsing the Racing News. I’m planning on attending one of his races later this year and you’ll see some photos from me then. Check out the new design here.

I’m doing more on the graphics side of things than photography of late so I thought I’d share a little of that. Here’s a simple logo I recently designed for Influence San Diego a website for the San Diego Social Media Awards. The Influence site is a great way to discover top blogs in San Diego. The blogs there are all nominated and voted on by the online community so you’re getting the benefits of crowdsourcing the discovery of great blogs.

Here’s the post on 37 Signals by way: http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1805-lets-just-call-plans-what-they-are-guesses 37 Signals is very often an insightful blog by the way and they are also makers of the hugely successful Basecamp software.

The software I want to share with you today though is OpenProj from Serena.. On the upside the software is both Mac and PC compatible and if you’re a user of Microsoft Project then you’ll be right at home. Another nice feature is that the software is open-source (yes, free). I’ve used the software on about a half dozen projects and it’s great to be able to do a detailed gantt and calculate your critical path. Now if you have access to Microsoft Project then you want to stick with that. This is very basic and has none of the use-ability enhancements that you find in Project.
