Apartmental

Good news from New York! Not only are we moved in and settled, but after a twenty question Adobe Illustrator test (on which I scored a miserable 40%), a 45 minute Ilustrator performance test (solid), a math test (heaven help me... fractions), a spelling test (aced!) and a bucket of charm, FastSigns in Langhorne, PA decided to give me a job.

I'll be working with both aspects of the job, design and production. FastSigns does work for all sorts of companies. They do signs for PBU, Sesame Place, and a host of other churches and restaurants. What's interesting about the job is the fact that they produce most of their own signs, using gigantic twelve foot wide printers and vinyl cutouts; so I won't just be burning holes in my retina, I'll actually be on the floor, physically creating these signs I design.

Speaking of design, we got the apartment looking alot less like a dorm and alot more like a home. I even did a high-speed fly through for my blog readers, appréciez!

I'm glad to have obliged your disorder. I'll have pictures posted in a day or so to make the journey even faster and more ADHD-friendly.

Oh, BTW, did you get my message?

Yay! Pictures! Your friend the Mac user is unable to watch the flythrough as-is, and does not have the desire to wrestle with it long enough to see if there is an application that likes it. Yay! Pictures!

For some reason, when I try to render it as a .MOV file it's hundreds of MBs big; I simply have more control over the size when making .WMV -- sorry!

1 July 20055. dramaturge:

No problem. I've had that issue before with stuff--for some reason in one format it's gargantuan, and in a different one it's fine. Who knows. The pictures are great, though.
