Look what I got...

Sunday, May 27, 2007

So far it seems to be pretty amazing. The first serious upgrade the Adobe products have had in quite some time seems like a definite step-up in all respects.

Also, I just walked out to my car to find a note stuck under my windshield wiper that simply states "I buy you car." It does in fact say you instead of the more popular your. Underneath is scrawled a nearly illegible group of digits that I assume is probably a phone number. Does anyone else ever find car buying proposals under their windshield wipers late at night? By my count, I've had at least five in the last couple of years. I guess everyone wants a 1982 Volkswagen pickup with a whopping 48 horsepower diesel engine.

But seriously...who wouldn't?

I recently started downloading the This American Life podcasts. Good stuff, especially for long morning walks.

I hate moving.

That's really all I have to say these days.

ReadyMechs

Wednesday, May 09, 2007
Now that I am done with school forever and have a bit more time on my hands than I am used to (at least for the next couple of weeks) I think I shall build myself some ReadyMechs. Now, if only I can decide which one to make first...

must get organized


My life is, frankly, getting a bit out of hand.

A couple of things:

First of all, Paige over at Flux-Rad has dropped a new mix which everyone should go download. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but I'm sure it's nothing short of tender deliciousness.

Also, I thought that I would mark the importance of this day (Tuesday, May 8) as it is on this day that I must turn in my final graphic design portfolio for evaluation before I walk the stage on Saturday. I have gathered every worthy scrap of work that I have done in the last three years and it has been quite a sentimental process to dig through all my old projects and see the progress and failures that I have accomplished in such a short amount of time. All that work, all those hours of sweat and tears, sleepless nights and endless weekends, and somehow it all fits on a single CD. Amazing.

In honor of the occasion I thought I would post a video that I shot in our graphic design lab last spring, on a night that I will always fondly recall. I lifted the title of the video from a Creative Summit conference a few years ago, but I prefer my own use of the phrase to the original. I think that if you watch the video closely enough you can learn a lot about the nine of us (plus a couple of special guests in the video) that have worked so closely together these last four years in that tiny little computer lab on the second floor of a forgotten building. I shall always smile when I think of these days and my friends with whom I have shared them.

Enjoy.


a bit of a downpour

Thursday, May 03, 2007

Last night was quite an adventure in Fort Worth, as the heavens had their way with us last night. The storm that came through dumped 5+ inches of rain an hour on us for a while and I was without electricity for a few hours. Christina's apartment got lightly flooded, though thankfully nothing irreplaceable or terribly expensive got damaged. Since I was without electricity and therefore couldn't work I spent my time chilling with my hamster Bruce Lee and taking some photos. I also shot the short clip below out of my back door during the worst part of the storm.

It was rather monsoon-ish there for a while.

Green Mountain

Tuesday, May 01, 2007
does anyone know anything about Green Mountain energy? As an environmentally conscious person who will soon be relocating this seems like as good a time as any to look into more sustainable energy options for my own home. Does anyone have experience with Green Mountain or have any other leads in that arena for the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

Also, I just got my new owl shirt in the mail from Mackle over at Yewknee.

It's gangs of fun, especially since it glows in the dark. How cool is that, seriously?
