Buying domain names these days is difficult, most obvious and direct names are taken. Chances are your name is taken, as is mine, by a baseball player, <a href="http://alexnewton.com/">alexnewton.com</a>. My objective here is to market myself and design skills through a portfolio, resume and blog. I'll list what has been taken and what is available.<br />
I plan to generate my domain and site content around these elements:<br />
<ul><li>Alexander Worthy Newton II</li>
<li>Industrial Design</li>
<li>as short as possible! ("a.com" thus "a@a.com)</li>
<li>.com domain</li>
<li>my personality</li>
<li>small business scalability</li>
<li>Jesse Newton, sister site, symbiosis b/t the two domain names</li>

Upon doing a search now, I have found a patent for a VERY similar design, pretty much covering all my ideas. However my system is based around the LED member to be removed and become part of many other aspects in climbing games and nighttime events. Kind of disappointing, but not really, because I never set out to get this idea patented or even make a dime off of it. Well, I'll be indirectly paid, by getting a job because of it, hopefully speaking.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I'm playing with some of the typeface and graphics. The dot in the "i" of constellation will be integral to the graphics, the dot will be a hold. I plan to have others, which will make up a line, indicating a route, or a constellation, a dotted path.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks to a friend, he noted that the redesigned cap would best be at an angle ( <a href="http://alexworthy.blogspot.com/2010/02/heat-waves.html">rather than at 0 degrees</a> ). He spotted something that was originally intended, it just happened to slip my mind when modeling/rendering. The grand argument here is to redirect hot exhaust flow from the riders right foot, and having the redesigned cap at 325 degrees optimizes hot exhaust flow around the riders foot at a stop lights and at highway speeds.</span>alexworthyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16030554123319148496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649293719770338519.post-10834492471673446032010-02-25T12:32:00.001-05:002010-02-25T12:45:51.805-05:00render fun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy9HpF8c8CsZ9stPlVM6GHoVL4IcBg0nvK-UT9aKy6ULeSE8T73TXL20Vd8MF8lbigRfpoaC3wTjpt-H0ASPopjfGUReZ_3iGyhyYjgdrlD26spfy4HjZlw8ko5SnKgubaPiFW5SsqTEA9/s1600-h/Muffler+Render+TEST+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy9HpF8c8CsZ9stPlVM6GHoVL4IcBg0nvK-UT9aKy6ULeSE8T73TXL20Vd8MF8lbigRfpoaC3wTjpt-H0ASPopjfGUReZ_3iGyhyYjgdrlD26spfy4HjZlw8ko5SnKgubaPiFW5SsqTEA9/s320/Muffler+Render+TEST+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>alexworthyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16030554123319148496noreply@blogger.com0
