I went and helped out taloncomicsDerek and lady_emeraldEmerald at the store yesterday. I have to admit, I liked helping, I liked putting effort into making the store a better place. I’ve wanted to do anything and everything I could to make the store better as long as I’ve been friends with Derek, but its just hard to involve yourself in it. I’m really glad to help and would love to continue helping whenever I have the time and energy. I’m going to try to go back today and help out some more, but since corwin75Steve is heading out to Pampa today, the office will be short handed.


Speaking of Steve, today will be his first GALMAC meeting, unless of course he grumps his way out of it. It’s officially still my duty, but in light of the changes in the future, I want him to come with me today so he can get a feel for the ropes. Not that the ropes are that hard over there. I’m not even sure how many people will be present today, for some reason it feels like a dead week. Maybe it’s just me.


Tonight is movie night and I still haven’t found a video cable so it looks like we’ll just be using the old TV. Maybe we’ll have a projector for next time.


I’m working on this web site for a faculty member so he can put his work up on the internet for everyone to see. I was reminded yesterday (gently and politely) that he’s not paying me to think, he’s paying me to create that which he cannot. So I’m going back to the drawing board and nearly redesigning the page from the ground up. but now that he’s seen what I can create and what I am capable of, he was able to fill in the blanks he was unable to fill in before. The only thing I’m still disgruntled by, is that he wants a simple, plain, bold typeface for the title of the page, where I think he should use his signature (which itself is simple, clean, bold, very legible, etc.). I think it would represent him better than any typeface I could dig up. My last attempt for a title font though, was too “edgy” for him. Too bad I spent a couple hours on that alone. I’m going to draw up some new layouts and we’re going to meet again on Tuesday. This is wierd because it’s the closes to actual contracted design work as I’ve ever done. The last time I did anything remotely similar to this was when I drew up a logo for a flight school that happened to run out of the same building I worked in as a lineboy.

basically, a lineboy is someone who works on an airport as a runner. they are like a vallet, full service gas station attendant, and bellhop at on an airport tarmac

So its been a slightly new, and awakening experience. We’ll see what happens on Tuesday. Guess I need to draw up those new comps then.


Its 8:30. Someone should be here already.

Hmm, odd. Didn’t know Talon had a website, that’s surprising.
