To the few readers still keeping an eye on this old dustbin: Thank you. And take a look at what I’ve been up to lately!

Eleanor, the graphic novel

I’m far more active on my sketch blog, Condition Clear, and of course on Twitter and Flickr these days. Hope you’ll all follow me over!

deeplyshallow is

the blog and design portfolio of Jason Gurley. (Learn more.) This site has been around since 1998; me, since 1978. In 2005 I drove 3,000 miles to see a movie. 2009 is pretty aimless so far, but I'm sure I'll get around to something sooner or later.

what i do

I've been a web designer since 1998. In the ensuing ten years I have worked in that capacity for an arctic ISP, a dusty Reno advertising agency, a boutique design firm with trendy brick interior, a nefarious taskmaster, an obsolete-but-oblivious (and cigar-permeated) development shop, and myself. At present I'm an associate creative director for Level Studios, a digital agency in San Luis Obispo, California. I used to keep a list of recent projects here, but lately my work has taken me into the application space, which isn't as easy to share. Instead, check out Level's portfolio.

 the shallow end

Ebert, of all people, posts a creationism Q&A, the subtle genius of which is his absence of commentary. // Turns out we're not done exploring after all. We're going to the Sun. // Cassini discovers organic material on Enceladus. // Word on the street is that Dubai is nuts. // You'd think that a video like this would be awe-inspiring all on its own. Tell that to whoever added the stock wonderment musical score. // American passenger jets now being outfitted with anti-missile devices. "Officials emphasize that no missiles will be test-fired at the planes." // Does atheism equal irresponsible parenting? State of New Jersey challenges adoptive parents' right to their adopted child due to their (lack of) religious belief. // Unbelievable single-car accident. // Insomnia, begone. // Fairly predictable and run-of-the-mill promo for Kathleen's upcoming album, but hey, you take what you can get.
