Dear deviantARTists,

Hello! How are you? Me? I'm doing well, keeping busy with work and allowing my mind to wander and roam into different creative channels. For instance, I just updated the look of my Twitter account, and then decided to do the same here on my devJournal.

I caught that nasty flu bug going around my neck of the woods and had to miss a couple days of work. Lame, considering my love for money. (You need it if you're going to take over the world, after all.) Oh - and I've been listening to an embarrassing amount of new-school Backstreet Boys.

I've been feeling really spacey lately. You could say that I've been living far, far away - deep in the recesses of my imagination.

Certainly not in school. Absolutely not.

I've decided that I wasn't ready to go back. (Too bad I figured it out $3000+ later...) Besides, the courses were not exactly what I had in mind. Not at all. The last two months of my foray into the world of education was all for naught, as my failure to focus on that education caused failure of another kind. And I'm actually okay with that.

I can honestly say that in the realm of Web Design, thousands of dollars taught me very little. Whether it was simply my previous knowledge of the field or the lack of courses that focus on web design (directly or indirectly), we may never know. All that's left is for me to decide whether or not to return.

For the moment, I choose not. I'm too busy foraying into another world. A world all my own.

Guess who just got the internet back?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super excited. Also: cable. Haven't had cable since August '08. What am I talking about so late in the evening? Oh, right - I'll be back to devART in full soon. Just let me finish out this semester and kind of... breathe.

Until then, feel free to follow my Twitter/blog combo. Be back soon!

UPDATE Mon Apr 20, 2009

Today marks the end of my latest devSubscription. Much like the last time it ran out, I won't be resubscribing - at least not right away.

Because I'm a stickler for design, I won't be updating my devJournal until 1) I resubscribe, or 2) something absolutely Earth-shattering happens. To keep up to date, check in on my Twitter.

Happy Spring!

Dearest watchers (and random passers-by),

I present to you a task. Not so much an obligation, but a mere option. As some of you may know, ~Dek-is-Filthy and I are at it again. If you are unfamiliar with our dynamic, I make some word jargon, then he makes some draw hoopla. The basics for our newest project have been established and we're entering "flesh-out" phase. So what is your task?

To take part in some polling.

This week - from the 9th to the 13th - I will post a new poll every day, and it is your sworn duty, no, your ultimate destiny to answer them all.

Or not. I can't make you. But I would sure-as-beans appreciate the input.

I assure you, the feedback will not affect the major direction of the project in the slightest. "Then what the hell is the point?" you ask? The point is plenty. (Okay, that didn't make sense.) The point is, I want to know what you want. What do you, my beloved audience enjoy when it comes to this sort of thing, if at all, and how best can I please you in the future?

Y'see, this brainbaby has already been born. But if my head is to be impregnated again, how can I splice the DNA in different, interesting ways that will entertain you 'til it kills you?

Soon I will know.

Yes, spring break has arrived! So, one might imagine that would mean more free time - more deviant time. One might be wrong.
No, I still have to go to school over the break to work on that nasty after-hours project that looms over us, ready to break our arms and... scrape our knees...

...

Anyway, no extra deviant time for this guy. I do have some things to upload, however, and you might be able to figure out what by looking at that nifty little "Current Project" nodule to the right. (I mean, it's all spelt out for you. Grammar and everything.)

Today I wrapped up the creation and conception of two websites for school projects. One of them I previously mentioned: a website based on ADDF and the release of Confirmation. Expect to see images soon. The other was a digital imaging assignment where we had to take an era of film (30s thru 70s) and create a "film festival" site. You might catch a glimpse of that one, too.

Enjoy your spring break!


Feb 17th, 2009 - Personal day + boredom = another revamp!
