Design Revisions

Sunday, May 25, 2008

A few weeks ago I had to start on a site design for a client, and I went through more design revisions on this site than any other I've done. Now this isn't all the clients' fault, most of these are just suggestions I got from the great people over at the Godbit Forum. Overall, I've got 11 different versions of the same site here. About mid-way through I was worried, (especially when the client requested a purple background!), but it turned out to be a site that both the client and I were happy with.

Employment

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Well, I’ve been on the job search for about a month now and it’s finally over.  I love being part of Eject Media, but it just hasn’t been netting me enough money, and when it does the work can be inconsistent.  I plan to stay with it though, so don’t worry!

Last Wednesday I sent out about 15 nicely printed resumé’s and cover letters to various companies.  On Friday of that week I got a call back from Cyber Sytes saying they wanted to meet with me soon....like the coming Monday.  I went in, met with everyone (literally), and they offered me a job as a web designer on the spot!  That was yesterday, and today was my first day there.

So far so good, I’ve got one day under my belt for now.  Ironically when I start my first major project tomorrow it will be for a company I interviewed with several weeks ago and was turned down for!

My Muxtape

Sunday, May 04, 2008

Wanna be hip and check out the new cool website to go to? Wanna get a taste of the music I like? Well now you can do both.  Muxtape is a cool new way to make an MP3 mixtape and share it with the world.

I uploaded 12 songs (the max) and organized them to go from rockin’ to chill music.  It’s a lot of my favorite artists, and I hope you find something new you like.  It’s almost an hour long, so check it out, play it while you work or something.
