I have learned my lesson

I decided to clean out my office desk today after "letting it go" for three years. I found this contract I signed when I was young and stupid. I have since learned from this experience never to make contracts like this. I am putting it here as an example of what not to do when being contracted out for a job. I have also learned that my time is worth so much more money!

Doing homework

Today I spent most of my office hours making exmaples for class homework assignments. This one was an assignment for my intro to digital media rts class that requires students make a CD label.

image

I used images from to make this cd cover. It was so hard not to cheat. I have only taught them the most basic tool for selection in photoshop. We did layers, the history pallette, layer masks, the eliptical and rectangular marquee, the polygonal selection tool , and the lasso tool. Imagine, no pen tool paths, no filters, adjustments, etc.

This is what i cam up with. The volcano / mountain to the right is actually from van Goh's cypress tree knots.

Where did all the chalkboards go?

I don't understand what happend to all the chalkboards. I love chalkboards and projectors with computers equally as much. Both are viable, excellent solutions for classroom instruction. However, the third alternative makes me sick. It is the white plastic chalkboard with markers. Who thought of that crap. It is so toxic and environmentally unfriendly. It must be very dangerous for children. Thos eof you that work with kids in a schooll, do they have them?

Today my electronics instructor was writing on the plastic board and I thought I was going to asphixiate in the small non-ventilated room. I wondered if anyone else felt that way but I didn't want to seem like a complainer. Anyways, why did everywhere switch? Chalk comes in multiple colors!!! It seems to be cheap to buy. It actually erased better. Did anyone ever notice how badly the plastic ones stain the white board?

So what is it that makes them so freakin' ubiquitous these days?

bluetooth mod for my basic stamp

I love my basic stamp and I have barely started using it yet. I am almost afraid because I think I will end up taking my entire electronics collection apart once I am comfortable with it.


I need the bluetooth module so I can get started on my million dollar idea. Somebody please buy this for me for my birthday. I promise a great return on the money invested.

Great advertising idea

Pricegrabber started this program where it made anti-pop up logos that other sites can use on their sites. They all say "what is this" and link back to pricegrabber. How great is that for an advertsing gimmick disguised as genuine care. Of course people are going to click onthe what is this and end up back at pricegrabber!

I was looking at this laptop site when I first noticed it. By the way their laptops seem like great deals. I first saw there ad in mobile computing.

Coding Can Be So Useful

Anyone who thinks that it is just for business or whatever is so wrong. I code little thigns to make my life easier and more fun all the time. I just managed to download about ~7000 pictures off my favorite site with a simple little PHP script.

Wegmans Shopping spree

We went to wegmans and bought so many groceries. It ended up costing $342.00 and they asked us if we needed carryout service. I don't think I ever bought enough groceries to get carry out service before. However, the dissapointing thing is that we only saved $7.00 with our wegmans card. That seems like not enough on a $342.00 order.

image

You may ask what did you get for $342.00. Well lots of bulk stuff. Like a 15 lb bag of rice, a gallon of oil , two half gallons of milk and the entire display for Palak Paneer. Sorry if anyone else wanted them. They were on sale $1.99 and I knew we would not go back for another month. It is the fastest tastiest thing that the earth has to offer in my opinion. I also bought enough echinacea for all of winter ($18.00), a big bag of shrimp. It just all added up.

Well it is still snowing really bad and so many things are cancelled. I am going to go eat my procuito.
