Setting off Fireworks

May 13, 2008 by Annie

Warning, heavy geekery to follow: I’m devoting the next few weeks to learning as much as I possibly can of Adobe CS3. I dropped way too much money on it, for work you know. In fact I have needed PhotoShop & Illustrator, but the rest of it, even Dreamweaver which I once lived by, I [...]

Video is easy! Not like it used to be.

October 15, 2007 by Annie

Back in olden times when I was learning video production it was still a Big Deal. Equipment was expensive. And bulky. My college graduation gift was a high-end video camera that was attached to a high-end VCR. Each piece weighed probably 10 pounds. I dreamed of one day buying myself an editing suite similar to [...]

New road to dreams deferred

April 3, 2007 by Annie

I’ve been thinking lately about what I used to love, and how despite appearances little has changed. For example, lately I’ve been getting lost for hours in coding css. I’ve been designing using css for a couple years but mostly I’m taking other people’s code and changing the variables. This time I’m determined to really [...]

Live, from your menu, it’s The Chef!

March 29, 2007 by Annie

The other night I had all those great ideas that I lost (I was able to recover a couple of them, but of course in the daylight they don’t seem so great.) But the other morning, just before I woke up, I had a dream of a product I think is genius! There’s a technology [...]

Losing sleep and ideas

March 26, 2007 by Annie

Last night as I was attempting to get to sleep early for once, my brain switched into overdrive. All kinds of wonderful, easily implemented ideas came flooding in.
