If Mr. Obama....

I really do think if Obama had picked Mrs. Clinton as his running mate they would have won the election hands down. It's a no brainer. Two minority groups running together for the top job in this country.....come on!!! Now they will have an Uphill battle and guess what Mc Cain has a woman as his running mate;0   Then again Mrs. Clinton may have said NO!!!

Learning New Things

Well i graduated in May 2005 with a A.S. Degree in Graphic Design. I am proud of myself. I haven't got an exact job in my field yet because of other things in my life that i need to attend to first. In the meantime i signed up for Web Design at my school, which is what i really want to do but at the time i originally signed up(2002) Web Design wasn't exactly offered. So while i am attending to "the other things in my life" i thought why not utilize the extra time i have and go back to school, it's only half-time. Anyways the hunger for Learning New Things is finally, deeply embedded in me.(as opposed to 20 yrs. ago--it wasn't) I love school!!! I have learned to appreciate art and design and it's bearing on the past, present and future. So don't let anything stop you from learning new things--You will be pleastantly surprised!! :)

Experimenting with Art Tools and Mediums

I done a head of an eagle in Illustration II last year(2004) using prismacolor pencils and it turned out really well and i received an A on it. I was satisfied but i knew as well as my classmates and instuctor suggessted at critique that it could be better. So i break out my pastels and start going over the whole piece. It is looking more vivid and textured filled than it was with just the prismacolors. Don't get me wrong i Love working with prismacolor pencils but pastels have won me over. What have you experiminted with in creating an art piece either for yourself or school? I am almost done with the eagle and i will post a picture of it when i am finished. :)

Apple and Intel---Together??? Absolutely!!!

Mainly lower power consumption and Apple wanting to grasp more of the Portable/Notebook Market share that PC's have are main reasons for this. It's G5 PowerPC processors have to be liquid cooled to operate at optimum level and they can't implement that technology into a notebook and be cost effective at the same time.
