This website, rikomatic.com, was long due for a refresh. So last night, I swapped out the cover image of a globe at the Queens Worlds Fair for a pic from a photo shoot I did on the Manhattan Bridge in 2010. And I changed the background colors accordingly. What do you think?

Sad Dalmatian Puppy Is Adorably Sad
Somehow my co-worker Christine convinced me to be a helpless dalmatian puppy so she could be the much more glamorous Cruella de Ville. Here's what I was able to throw together starting at 11pm the night before Halloween. I gotta admit I make a pretty cute puppy. It was a lot of fun running around…
Rik Takes It All Off
I've been bored of my hair for awhile and wanting a change, but not really sure of which direction to go. On Sunday, instead of my typical Tin-Tin cut, I asked my stylist Q to just take it all off. "For real?" he asked, surprised. "Yep, just number one all around," I replied. Just for…
Infographic: Who I Am on Twitter (according to Visual.ly)
Here's an infographic on me and my tweeting profile based on my Twitter data , provided to the infographic service visual.ly.

Netiquette Question: IMs from Old Acquaintances – Accept or Not?
Say you worked with someone 12 years ago. You were friendly in the workplace, chatted during lunch, but didn't socialize after work. Then, one day, many years later, out of the blue, an instant message from that person pops up on our screen. "Hey, Rik, it's so-and-so…" it begins. You, hesitate for a…
Create an Infographic-y Online Work Resume on Re.vu
In the digital age, creating a static, paper resume is as quaint as sending a telegraph. If your work is dynamic, visual, and ever-changing, a printed black-and-white summary of your professional qualifications won't really capture that. Re.vu is a new web service that allows anyone to create a beautiful, visually-rich, online resume of your…
Rikomatic.com is back in business
We had some snafus in the transfer of our domain from Godaddy to Namecheap, which we spent way too long trying to fix over the past couple of days. Apologies if the site did not load for you or if emails to rik @rikomatic.com were bouncing. We should be mostly fully operational at this…
