New look coming

I am working on updating the design portion of the site. Right now this is looking totally different. I’m pondering making this fit in with the rest. But since this doesn’t limit itself to design stuff I think it might not need to be tied into the look of the rest.

Here is a taste of the new look:

Turkey Bulletin

So Thanksgiving is over, at my work I get the entire week off for Thanksgiving. Which is nice. It has become a traditional ‘get stuff done around the house’ time. This time I fixed a little part of the roof of the house (Don’t be too impressed it was 3′ by 3′ and only 8′ foot off the ground). Also we got some painting done in the house. Hopefully by Christmas(another home project time) we will finally get the rooms in the house painted.

Also McKelvey said today, “I am too tired to wake up.” Ahhh, she really is a normal kid. Since this happened on a school day and the previous week she seemed to be fine with waking up when there was no school. I just can’t wait until they sleep in on the weekends. That will be nice.

Bit of the ordinary, Design Stuff

Back at work

Due to some unforseen circumstances, I am back at work.

However, I am getting to do some fun stuff. I am doing the Projection design, Lighting design for How I Learned to Drive and Lighting Design and Shadow puppets for The Long Christmas Ride Home. Plus the playwright, Paula Vogel is coming to see the shows. So that’s a little added stress. But it is fun work, although I miss the time with my family.

Oh and I have to make it snow inside the theatre on three puppets and five actors.

Home movie round up

Today we got Rent thru Netflix. I have been listening to the songs in preparation. I’m pretty excited to see it. I saw a touring version in Peoria, and the sound mix was atrocious. Despite that I really liked it. I’m excited that the most of the original cast is in the movie.

Our last Netflix was Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. We made a movie night for the whole family out of it. McKelvey was dead-set against it at first since it wasn’t a princess movie, but after watching a couple of the short features, she stopped crying and enjoyed. So much so that she wanted to watch it again the next day. She also loved telling Grandpa Collins all about it on the phone. I highly recommend this movie.

Fools and the internet shouldn’t mix

Oh the silly things people do with the internet.

After looking at another blog I frequent(Boing Boing) I found an neat post on finding confidential info on the internet. It seems that all you have to do is to google “confidential do not distribute”. I got 15,700,000 results.

Obviously, you shouldn’t post things on the web if you don’t want them found. Even if you don’t link them to anything else.

I’m going to go read some confidential material from the FDA now… ;)
