So. Life is changing, quickly. I have a great job, headshots, a retirement fund, a fancy apartment that I live in with my totally awesome boyfriend (which we recently managed to paint!), two kittens (one of which is already on a diet), and a blender. I can see good things ahead for me. I haven’t been writing much lately, and I need to do it more often. Sometimes when you focus primarily on visual things you forget about the other parts of your brain (get it?), and to be honest, I think the other parts of my brain are slightly more adept than the visual part sometimes. Though that could just be bc I do visual things all day and sometimes I just need to exercise the other parts. Either way.

I’m working on a redesign of my website, to which this blog is no longer linked, so unless I’m in your rss feed… well, thanks for having me in your rss feed! Where was I? Yes, a redesign, a redevelopment, an overhaul, a breath of fresh air… It’s getting kind of stale in here. But winter is almost over and it’s time for some spring cleaning.

So here’s what you might expect: me writing more often, me creating more often, and me not being lazy so often. In short, me, me, me. But actually, that’s not exactly true. I don’t want to be a navel-gazer, so what I’m more likely to be showing off here at the blog level will be not just me (seeing as how I probably can’t help it sometimes) but the works of people I think are amazing. Thing is, I see tons of awesome things every day (and sometimes I just overhear them) and I want to make a note of them for future me (see? it really is all about me), but at the same time, why not show them to you so you can enjoy them (and maybe make a note of them too).

Well, that’s all I have for this post. It’s more like an introduction to what’s coming. Maybe people will like it, maybe they won’t, but it doesn’t matter really bc it’s all about me, and I’m out of excuses.

Also, I’m writing this on an iPad so it might be screwy… Deal with it, it’s a test run.

So after months of searching for jobs, I got one! I’m proud to say I’m Apple’s newest Specialist. Training starts this weekend! I know it’s not a design job, but I gotta pay the billz and this is a pretty sweet deal for doing that. It’ll probably leave me plenty of time for freelancing but still supplement the income in the down time (like now). I’m happy about it, I mean, I even got a position I didn’t even apply for. I guess that’s a good thing, they must think I’m super qualified! I guess we’ll find out on Saturday if they were right or not. So if you’re looking for me, there’s a good chance you can find me in the Apple Store in Westfarms Mall!

Look at this ridiculousness I just found on my external harddrive. Dunno what that was all about.

so the senior show is up finally, went up 4/17 and all the clocks were ready, and then some! I had a total of 7 clocks (counting the floor clock) and it was a good show! those are my clocks on that post there in the middle of the room. turns out that wasn’t the ideal place for them, but it worked somewhat like a clock tower. that blue tape there is the floor clock, it marked the time of the show starting, i still have to get a new pic of it lit up.

below we have the bus schedule clock, the bodywise clock and the ideal saturday clock

below is the birthday/anniversary clock, the ok to call around the world time zone clock, and the work/not work clock

I’m finally building cwp’s site, hopefully it will be done this week, then i get to start coding ece finally (see previous post)

finally, a finished design for ece! time to start building!

So I’ve been working some more on the clocks, check these out.

Look familiar?

Here’s the work/not work clock, with images.

Then we have the 1/3 / 2/3 – work/not work, death/taxes, $earned/$spent clock.

and then the not as conceptual ice cream clock.

and last but not least, a brand spankin new, not yet fully labeled bodywise aerobic classes clock.  Shows the bodywise schedule from sunday through friday (sunday is the innermost circle, friday outermost)

just sayin’.

Just trying some new things with ECE’s website.  They probably won’t go for either of them, but I would take it if I were in charge over there.

Ok so back to the bus schedule clocks like the ones I had pictures of down below.  I was originally using tick marks to represent the buses, but the dots actually work much better.  Also, with this clock the idea is that there will be holes in the hand of the clock such that if you can see a color through the hole in the hand that means that line should be coming soon (and they’re color coded because our buses are color coded, which makes my life a bit easier).

This is the bus schedule for the foundation stop, green, orange, red, and yellow stop there.

This is the schedule for the HTA stop, only red and blue stop there.
