On a roll…!

One more article is up on my Articles published in FOCUS Magazine, Victoria, Canada page, in continuing the project mentioned here and here. This one was easy to convert since there weren’t any illustrations to add (and size). The magazine version has a couple of illustrations, but I chose to publish only my text here. The article, which I called A Soft-core View of Victoria, was published as Biophilic design: taking love to the street — click through to read. It was published in FOCUS Magazine in July 2007 (but isn’t online there — it’s only available as a PDF here).

Risque title, n’est-ce pas? This will probably generate a few weird referer stats…

August is up!

Another update on my Articles published in FOCUS Magazine page, which means that the August article is now online, too: Biophilic design: taking love to the street, with a “before” and conceptual “after” photo illustration by Robert Randall (local artist and chair of the Downtown Residents Association).

Two down, 10 or so to go… later!

My FOCUS Magazine articles, online at last (eventually…)!

For too long I’ve left my intention to post my monthly FOCUS Magazine articles on the backburner, but this morning I at least took a first step toward figuring out the best way to get them online.

What I’ll be doing is converting my Word file submissions (which were published) into PDFs (and adding an illustration or two, if readily available — my articles typically are illustrated in some way, but those illustrations aren’t available to me without more time-consuming scanning, so I’ll just substitute something appropriate where available; if nothing is available, then I’ll just convert the text to PDF).  I tried some weeks ago to scan the magazine pages, to see if I could upload these as PDFs, but found that the quality / legibility took a nosedive. For that reason, creating a PDF based on the plain text is my best bet.

[Edit: I eventually figured out how to get the quality & size of PDFs, created from scanned pages of the magazine.)

Ok, so far only September is up — in the coming days, I’ll be working backwards to last year when I started, and forward to next month once October rolls around.

I’ll also post notices to the articles here, as they become available. First up is September’s Of ducks and decorated sheds, which you can read by clicking the link.
