I’ve been busy. And that’s what this post is about.
So lets get to the new job first — read below the jump.
Note: The following will only be interesting to my parents (Hi Mim, Hi Dad). But I want to blog them for future nostalgia purposes (and because this blog is all about my ego). Plus one joke that professor Porter made in his evaluation just made me drop on the floor and laugh: He got the last word.

I really prefer working online. I’ve always been a fan of working with text. But on these projects text seems to fall in the background while we run around like chickens without a head trying to finish the flash interactives, photoshop files and dreamweaver layout.
