I’m leaving this morning to head back to Connecticut to train for my new job for a week. I will be completely out of contact until Monday night at the earliest, possibly all week. I’ll have my phone, so if you know my number and need to reach me in an emergency, you still can. Y’all have fun.

I have been thinking about trying to enroll in a graphic design or photography program here in the Fall. I don’t know anything about what it’s like to go back to school and get a new bachelors when you already have one. I don’t have any idea how much it would cost, and obviously, I would have to take more loans. I already have $40,000+ in student loans left from my last one. So–is it worth it?
Reasons for getting a graphic design degree
Reasons against going back to school:
My job search has been fairly unfruitful right now. It’s tough not to be discouraged and wonder if I need a big change in life. I was talking with Jay this morning, and he was trying to point out that it doesn’t necessarily reflect badly on me. It’s hard not to feel discouraged though. My freelance business is going okay, but how long will that last?
I’m adrift on a sea of uncertainty today. I’m waiting for a wind to nudge me in the right direction, but maybe I should just pick a direction and start paddling.

I am now on Twitter as JeremiahTolbert. Who should I be following? Who shall follow me? Assimiliate me, Twitter!
Is there a way to sync up Facebook status posts with Twitter posts? Surely there is a program that will manage both for me. I remain skeptical of the usefulness of this application, but if it alleviates the solitude of working from home a little, I’m all for it!

Do you remember that Disney CG film Dinosaurs? It’s original concept involved a feature length movie with animals that only emoted, and never spoke. Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]
I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:
Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:
Tight pacing. 2 minutes [...]
Located 15 minutes south of Fort Collins, Coyote Ridge is a natural area consisting if a couple hundred acres of prairie. A trail runs from the road up across several ridges. Today, I walked to the base of the second ridge before coming back. I’ll make the full hike to the end [...]
The Dream Zine?
I hear what you’re thinking, “You mean your dream magazine wasn’t the Fortean Bureau?” At the time, it was everything I could make it be with the constraints (financial, content, format) I worked under. And even though the magazine is on semi-permanent hiatus, I still follow the publishing side [...]
Paul Raven made a comment today on his blog comparing the artwork on a couple of different magazine covers. Warren Ellis has recently been on about cover design as well. So I thought today, I’d look at the latest batch of covers for every magazine I could remember, and write some generalized thoughts [...]
