Justin And A Brief Q101 Interlude

Justin called me up Saturday, and discussed playing Trivial Pursuit over at Kent’s. I wasn’t feeling particularly social, but in the back of my head I knew this would be fun. So – he swung by around 5 or so, and headed over to Justin’s. Prior to hanging out with Kent, we stopped by the…

Summary

Not too much exciting toay. I had a constant-work type of day, trying to get images gathered and processesed for this Flash "gallery." Really, it’s just a variation on the photo galleries we have in place… but it throws in a few fancy effects. I got to play around with animating some logos again, which…

Note To The World

When you’re waiting for an elevator and the doors open? Think about waiting to the side, instead of standing right in front of the doors as they open. Don’t try to immediately walk in. Sometimes, there are other people trying to get off the elevator. When they leave, it only makes more room for your…

Photo Ops

Today Ben and Justin were working on a "Career Channel" for all of our affiliate stations. This is one of those network-wide pages that will appear on a station’s site should they decide to use it. We’re getting the content from a third party, but we needed to come up with some artwork on our…

I Should Probably Eat Something

Today at work, I didn’t eat lunch. I was busy working on getting a Flash gallery up for one of our stations, and was finishing up all the last minute details. Next thing I know, the coffee’s worn off and it’s damn near 6 PM. Once I got home, I started to muck around on…

This is a fun Flash game, which I got from twelvestone. Definitely give it a whirl, but be prepared to lose about 10 to 15 minutes of your day to this thing.

Chatty McChat

Talked to a bunch of folks tonight. I’ve been off of IM lately, and ever since I started working fulltime, I’ve not been using IM all that often at work. Mainly, I load up Trillian when I get back to my apartment, on my home computer. Tonight, I talked with rypunked, Designess, Mellzah, Matt, mofo,…

From Proof-Of-Concept to Proof-Of-Silliness

At work, Ben and I were trying to put together a proof-of-concept. There was a request for an outside vendor’s offering (transparent Flash ads that contained video). As much as I oppose this idea (and I mean to make a formal, well-informed presentation on exactly why I think this particular approach is potentially damaging), Ben…

Stumbling Home

On my way home from work, I ran into Liz and Steph on North Avenue. We talked a bit (chatted about the nonfiction book Liz had about Mormons). Next thing I know, they’ve convinced me to go grab a beer with them and we make our way to Holiday. Ahhhh Holiday. Located on the corner…
