A Return to Moderately Consistent Posting
Posted by Patrick on Saturday, August 18, 2007The wave of technical difficulties having now passed (I hope), we can return to our normal posting routine. Here are some thoughts:
Hot
104 degrees again? I guess it is southern living. Central air is sweet. We went for a dip in the community pool last week and that was refreshing.
Lawn
Why does some of our yard have grass that grows almost two feet high in a week, and some not accept grass at all (just dirt patches)? The whole yard thing requires lots of learning. It'll be a fine day for western civ when robot gardeners come on the market. Then it will be a sad day for the same civilization when the robot gardeners join together and form a super-robot that enslaves the lazy suburbanites like myself. But it'll be good times before the great robot revolt.
Workin
My new job continues to be both rewarding (web design every day? yes please) and kind of intense. Lots of long days and learning. It's still a little weid to use Photoshop every day and not use Excel all day long. Allegedly they're replacing my 7-year-old G4 at work with a shiney new iMac, which is exciting.
Speaking of Webbish
Tonight I'm going to my first Raleigh/Durham Adobe User Group meeting, which I believe will be cool. Hopefully it will fill my noodle with knowledge and let me talk shop with some other designers in the field. When I try to talk about Typography with the cats, they generally just walk away. Moses will actually bite me on the leg when I talk about kerning.
Congrats
Congrats to my sister Kristen who just graduated with a master's degree in something so fancy and smart, I can't even begin to describe it with words.
