Can't spell "prodigal" without "dig". Or "gal".
So I've been elsewhere. It happens. Colonizing the web not-here, etc.
Oh, and signed up for classes this semester at SVA:
Tuesday night: 6:00 - 10:00 PIMP MY SQUIRR-- I mean, PHP/MySQL
Thursday night: 6:30 - 9:30 Illustration basics.
This is the part where I get to break down and master whatever it is that makes a picture tell the story it needs to tell. I've spent years obfuscating, so it won't kill me to harness whatever skills may come. Stay tuned.
What freaks me out about aging isn't getting old. It's how time accelerates. It's dizzying how weeks slip through me, and it's not like I'm not already chronically challenged. Hmmmph!
Kind of obsessed with typography. As in, have accounts at fonts.com and Typedia. It all started with Thinking With Type, which is awesome and you should read it if you a) haven't b) are interested remotely in graphic design. Elements of Typography = also awesome, but I haven't finished it yet so I have to maintain more reserve. Survey says aces, so far. Also, that was a lie. Typography obsession belongs to web design learning curve. It happens when you have to make sense of what's out there vs. what can actually be used, and how.
P.S. Wonder when LJ will stop using deprecated tags. Oh, LJ, you taught me such bad habits.
