people i met in nyc

the weakest link (that's me.)

thanks to tooth, i'm gonna try to tell you how to get to his and jonathan's sites. check 'em out. or better yet, hire them - especially if you're looking for someone to make you look good on paper or on the web. here's tooth, who is actually matt, and here's jonathan. read 'em and weep - 'cause they're already doing the kind of stuff you look at and think "%&*!!, i wish i'd done that."

am working on laying out a quarterly magazine that i've been designing for about the past 5 years. a great client - and tater, you knowww who you are. trying a new program (InDesign) for this issue. sometimes i'm too curious for my own good when it comes to learning new things. but i'm liking this one - plus it keeps cobwebs outta my head, and veins.

hey matt -

THANKS for the idea and the oh-so handy tip. good to see you today.

(is it bad blog etiquette to aim a message at one particular person? at least i don't talk with my mouth full.)

template trauma

well, i managed to totally massacre the original template before the sun went down, so i'm starting fresh.

have already injured this one, but will leave well enough alone for now.

comments anyone?

just changed some settings so that anyone can post comments. not that i'm expecting much – i just thought it would be good to have it set up that way just in case. anyway, when i saved those changes, it said the comment-posting thing would be activated the next time i posted something. so, that's why i'm rambling here. good lord.

what the. . . ?

i have wondered where Tarnation is.

as a child, i heard it most frequently used as part of a big exclamation. maybe that's when i figured it'd be safest to stay just south of it.

i suppose inspiration can come from most anywhere - as long as you're on the lookout for it. the inspiration for a dinosaur like me to drag my mesozoic bones onto internet came from 2 former students - jonathan tribble and matt mantooth. i'll post links to their sites when i figure out how to do that.

back to work now.
