Things have been very busy out­side of the day job (and at the day job as well, but who cares about that stuff?).  I put most of the fin­ish­ing touches on a new web­site for Rudi Dornemann last week.  I’ll let you know here when he signs off on the site, and I’ll try and write up a post­mortem at that point.  It was a fun project, involv­ing updat­ing an older design of mine for a dif­fer­ent sort of website.

I final­ized my art­work for the Strange Horizons dona­tion card over the week­end as well. I will let you know how to get that spe­cial Roundbottom art when the dona­tion drive begins. I’m really pleased with how the image turned out.  The poor lit­tle gob!

I’ve also put nearly every book I own into boxes for the impend­ing move to our new place (only six blocks away from the cur­rent house, but $300 a month cheaper).

Blogging will be lighter over the com­ing two weeks as I’m in the process of fin­ish­ing up a cou­ple of free­lance projects while pack­ing for the move. I cur­rently have no projects sched­uled for June or July, so if you are look­ing for a designer, and want to dis­cuss the pos­si­bil­ity of hir­ing me, you know how to reach me.  An awe­some new web­site would be a good invest­ment of your gov­ern­ment stim­u­lus check!

I will be on vaca­tion in Oregon for the sec­ond week of June, but I can still work on a project for the lat­ter half of the month. If noth­ing turns up, I’ll put that time into build­ing the new Roundbottom site to go with the relaunch, and in gen­eral, just doing more photography.

Have you missed some of the recent Daily Photos?  This link will take you to the tag that I file all the daily images under.  I don’t usu­ally post images over the week­end, but some­times I get excited about shar­ing the work I’ve done and upload it ear­lier.   On my list of things to do is to cre­ate a feed specif­i­cally for just the daily pho­tos so that I can offer up my blog as a photo blog and get it listed in the direc­to­ries for those.

One last excit­ing thing.  We pur­chased a 24 inch LCD for the office com­puter over the week­end.  It is mighty.  So mighty that it gives me eye strain to work on it cur­rently.  I’ve had to dim down its light as much as pos­si­ble just to han­dle look­ing at it for more than 20 min­utes.  But I opened up Photoshop first thing after installing it. Oh boy, the room.  The room…  Unfortunately, the machine it is hooked up to is not pow­er­ful enough to run the Age of Conan MMOG I just bought, which means I do not have a com­puter that can run it period.  Perhaps a video card upgrade will solve my prob­lem, but that is $100+ I don’t want to spend after drop­ping so much on the new mon­i­tor.  Luckily, I didn’t really pay for the Conan game, but traded in a ton of stuff for it at GameStop.  All part of slim­ming down my pos­ses­sions for the move.  The next step in this is hold­ing a garage sale this com­ing weekend.
