Hello! I'm Vincent Gallegos, co-founder of VGDA Design in Washington, DC. Enjoy my stories about art, technology and creative living. More >
We just got back from Casa Oaxaca and, wow, I just had to show you. From the perfection of the guacamole to the churros w/ cinnamon, I am beyond excited to have visited this restaurant in 2009 ;). Thanks for the surprise, Dawn, you look beautiful! Happy New Year everyone!

Sort of. We don't party crash and yet we feel their presence. On Wednesday, Obama visited Martha's Table in our neighborhood, and yesterday, I took touristy photos with my visiting family in front of the White House just before Lady Obama welcomed her new Christmas tree (can you see it in the photo? One of the last I took before the area was cleared).

An exciting pre-Thanksgiving day announcement: I'm thrilled to be joining the non-profit advocacy organization Common Cause, headquartered in Washington, DC, as web designer and online communications strategist.
Common Cause is one of the most active, effective, and respected nonprofit organizations working for political change in America. We are a nonpartisan citizens' lobby, dedicated to making government responsive and accountable to the people. Since the 1970s, we have led the fight for campaign finance reforms, ethics and accountability in government, civil rights, and open government on national, state and local levels.
Starting in December, I will be collaborating with Common Cause's California team to launch a state-level redistricting reform website. Other exciting plans ahead. 2010 is an important year for political change, and I'm happy to be one of the 400,000+ Common Cause supporters involved with issues that matter--now as staffer!
I want to thank my network of friends and media professionals at U.S. News & World Report, Development Seed, Free Range Studios, and Homefront Communications for letting me represent them over the last few years on critical web projects.

See Heidegger and a Hippo on Amazon. Harvard grads Cathcart and Klein can tell a good joke, and they know their philosophy. I have their previous book, Plato and a Platypus (I know, the titles!). The book ends with a politically incorrect metajoke, ha!
Exciting news today: Posterous, the lifestreaming/blog platform/ping.fm-on-steroids service I use, has released the ability to fully customize blogs (theming). Previously, only one theme was available for all, and I stuck to Posterous partly because the default theme happened to be clean, simple and beautiful. I can't wait to explore a redesign this weekend. In the spirit of lifestreaming, I will do all my design and code changes LIVE, so don't be ashamed to visit the remodeling every now and then.Because of this, I will be posting less often this weekend. Thanks for visiting my blog! Follow me on Twitter.
NEW! I started lifestreaming because I wanted to connect. Social media and e-mail are easy and powerful. Other times, though, it's good to be able to send a direct, private message to a blogger with a single click. Be the first on my shiny new form, Google-powered! I threw some questions on there if you want to help me improve Design Notes + Photos:
