where have I been: part two

Well, jeez, uh, it’s been awhile. I’ll actually be updating this now. Been what, two months since graduation. In the meantime I’ve started exercising a lot with my friend, Donna. That’s been a nice routine. What else? Finally got Internet/Cable and installed wireless for myself. Now I don’t have to worry about which part of the apartment I’m in or whether I’ll be able to get a signal. Been nice to update the PS3/PSP when new firmwares come out, too.

Other than that…been working, a lot on new web and graphic designs for different clients. Not going to post all the links at this time since many of them are not done yet. If I never posted the link to Chicoine’s though, here’s there Chicoine Photography & Design portfolio site which I completed entirely in Flash CS3. Have, what, five sites that are in progress. Most should be done by the end of the month. Recently revised a whole corporate identity package, designed a letterhead and some labels for a friend who sells blueberries locally. They came out pretty cool. Probably will end up in my portfolio eventually…once I redo it. Soon. I hope.

Um, what else? Some cool stuff…Pandora. Very cool. I had read about it in MacWorld magazine I think. Didn’t think much of it at first because I have a huge iTunes library. Turns out it’s very convenient. Instead of shuffling through my library and ending up on songs I don’t really like way too often, Pandora takes groups or songs you like and creates “stations” from them of other songs that are directly like the stuff you like. So ultimately you have up to 100 “stations” of music that you’ll probably really enjoy. I find myself hardly ever switching songs and I can stay on a station for a really long time before changing stations. Allows me to get into the music more and into a rhythm with whatever work I’m doing at the time. I love it. Check it out if you find yourself listening to music a lot while you’re doing…well, anything.

What else? Haven’t been playing my PS3 nearly as much as I’d like to. Keeping in mind that I have a lot of work to do and should concentrate on that. Too bad because I have Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4, neither of which I’ve spent all that much time on. Oh, and Uncharted…good game, but I haven’t even played that for more than 5 minutes and I got it back in, what, February? Jeez.

Okay, that’s it for now…more later. Oh, if you haven’t yet, check out this month’s WIRED magazine. They have a whole “How To” section that is both interesting and hilarious on anything from how to live your life to how to win at a carnival.

Alright, back to work.
