So long my friend…
My dear friend and design comrade Drew Warkentin finally received his US Visa this past Thursday after almost 2 years of red-tape. Yesterday while Drew was on a plane to California a U2 song came on the radio that seemed very fitting…
All the obstacles in my way, now
Are disappearing every day, now
I’m getting closer
We’re getting closer to home
It won’t be long until the summer comes
Congratulations Drew… I’m sad to see you go, but relieved that you finally made it.
Hello, my name is…
Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain, a stay at home designer from Grimsby ON, Canada. To get in touch use the contact form.

Thank you my friend! All the best to you at 31three.
It was funny… the one border guard asked me jokingly; “What took you so long?” I looked at him, laughed and said; “well, I had to pack, right?”

Indeed! Congrats for your friend.
Interestingly enough, a friend of mine just got approved for a visa to LEAVE the U.S. after 2 years and enter another country (Malta) where tax consequences are enormously less and personal freedoms are considerably more.
It’s interesting, the presuppositions we have, with regard to where the opportunities lay…. some want IN.... and some want OUT.
At any rate, nice designs, friend… I’ve seen a lot of mock-ups and predesigns, but I can honestly say http://www.expressionengine.com/ is a masterpiece.
WOW!
Kind regards,

Reminds me of a DC Talk song, heh. Never was a huge fan of, but nevertheless.
Welcome to the US, eh? :D
