Following Signs

January 20th, 2009

Sometimes I hate this area. I mean absolutely despise it. Particularly when job hunting. I look on sites like The Creative Group, and even on Indeed, which lists practically everything- and can’t find a single thing for a Graphic Designer in a 50 mile radius of Gallia. Seriously. That’s what I have my email alerts on Jobster set to. You know what Jobster’s been sending me? Movie Extra ads for West Virginia.

Then I follow this dirty Jeep-looking-thing, probably owned by a teenager, out of my old Alma Mater on my way home from ma-n-pa’s Read the rest of this entry »

Wait Until Dark - February 6, 7 & 8

January 19th, 2009

Roat (Wes) explains the plan to Mike & Carlino (Steve & Jeff).

Roat (Wes) explains the plan to Mike & Carlino (Steve & Jeff) at rehearsal.

Synopsis:

“A sinister con-man, Roat, and two ex-convicts, Mike and Carlino, are about to meet their match. They have traced the location of a mysterious doll, which they are much interested in, to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Susy refuses to reveal its location, and with the help of a young neighbour, realizes she is the victim of a bizarre charade. She knows the only way to play fair is by her rules, and manages to find a way to level the playing field.”

“Add Link” Bookmarklet for Wordpress

January 16th, 2009

I managed to find how to put an “Add Link” or “Link This” bookmarklet in my browser bar.  It needed a teeny update, so I thought I’d post how I did it, in hopes it might help somebody else. 

The original was in this forum thread by “rileycentral” :  

WordPress › Support » addlink bookmarklet gone?.

All I did was change the width of the popup window to 800px to allow for the new 2.7 admin layout.  You’ll need to change the url to your own, then copy and paste the code to your address bar and drag it into your bookmarks bar.  That’s what I did in Safari, anyway.  If there’s a better way- please let me know.

Recent Finds

January 15th, 2009

So, as promised, here’s a post, only three days after the last one! I’ll get better at this as time goes by. Back in my LJ days when I knew I had friends reading it was easy to just spew out whatever came to mind. Time to get focused though.

The last few weeks since New Years I’ve been finding interesting site after interesting site, sort of like when I was finding CSS-Tricks and GoMedia and all of those designing how-to’s a while back. Now it’s been a journey down a path of simplicity, do-it-yourselfing, and money management. It’s hard to find just the right blogs without getting lost in the forrest, so here’s what I’ve found before pulling myself back:

Zen-Habits: It all started with ZenHabits.com. I’m not sure at all how I came across this one at first. Just a stumble into the garden, I think. About living simply, the power of doing less; a dream I hope to realize someday soon.

This led to Get Rich Slowly and The Simple Dollar. They pretty much speak for themselves. I’ve been learning quite a bit about this.

Which led to You Grow Girl, a blog for your average every day gardner. Very pretty, and practical. Lovely fruits and veggies!

Threadbanger is a pretty awesome, accidental find that sort of goes along with the rest of these. It’s a DIY site for us freaky starving artist types. Pretty spiffy.

Now, as I have to go to my icky Statistics class, it’s time to pack up and leave the lab. Be watching for a links page with these and others of my favorite sites. I also have another idea hidden in my brain somewhere that I’ll try and squeeze some time into. And tomorrow I’ll probably be posting about the upcoming Ariel show Wait Until Dark. That’s the plan anyway.

Have a nice night, internet land.
Jess
