So in the last couple of days Cuil has been all the hype. I went on there and tried a few basic searches like my own name and location. Nothing. Zitch. I may be a Google defender, but when my own name does not even come up? Forget that nonsense. Until Cuil comes in [...]
Since J‘s JVC camcorder recorded all the client’s video to .mod format, I have to edit it in Adobe Premiere. This would’ve been a challenge without this site.
I’ve been restless sitting here, but I know if I’m patient, I’ll learn everything I know to conquer this project. The client wants the [...]
Yesterday I was sweeping the bathroom with the broom dad uses in the winter to bare our icy steps, thus the broom held the potential to deliver mini missles straight into the fleshy bit between my thumb and forefinger. And yes, it did so with a vengence. After failing to tweezer the bugger out, squeeze, [...]

Blogging—–I’m so far behind. I’ve had an online diary of some sort since 2001 but not a blog.

On today’s shoot, I got to deal with clients who were unwilling to hold still while trying to shoot the videos.

I called around a bunch of non-experts for the figure of $150 to charge for all my album related time and work. Yet when I meet up with J and W, I chickened out and let J decide how much to charge. J isn’t going to be taking any money from this project, so W [...]
So J calls today to say that the clients have backed out on the CD deal. The total production costs for the CD to be printed is too expensive for their tastes, so they want to do it themselves. J asked me however how much I wanted to be paid for my time spent on [...]
I admit to having been a bit apprehensive being the only female on today’s exercusion. My dad backed my feelings and was wary. However today went fine. I met up with J & W downtown to meet the hip hop group, Downtown.
This afternoon I had done some research on rap and hip hop [...]
I have to admit that I am a little wary of using Adobe Illustrator. It was not until final semester of college that my teacher had us crack it open. From my job searching, I have learned that its a truly valueable skill. Greaaat.
So my new goal is to learn Illustrator. I don’t confess [...]
I have been commissioned to polish up one of my business card designs. Unfortunately D gave me his mock up on a floppy which my computer is not reading. I had put my mock-ups on a rewriteable CD but they did not utilize that feature for both of our convienence.
The other commission from D [...]
