We got the email today. Trident Web Design has its first official job: creating a website for Rabkin Dermatopathology. I'm uber excited. The web design thing is awesome. Both Jake and I are really terribly glad to have someone who is not a family member to do a website for. And of course getting paid is always a bonus.
The only repercussion for getting a freelance job is that you have to actually get it done, and deadlines don't wait for creative blocks to fall away. Working under the gun in this capacity is a whole new thing for me, though Jake's done it before with no trouble. Hopefully I can ease into it as easily.
In other news, calligraphy is also cool. I would like to get back into learning about it. In my scads of free time that is. Well, my ass is growing into my chair as I speak. I've been sitting in front of a computer entirely too much lately, but I have to admit I love it. I might have to invest in an ergonomically sound keyboard though. Alpha Grip, HERE I COME!

When you're color blind:
Web design sucks.
Matching Clothing Sucks.
Helping other people with web design sucks.
Driving on a sunny day sucks.
Hating pink sucks.
Hating colors I usually like because I think they're pink sucks.
Web design sucks.
Changing transmission fluid sucks.
Web Design Sucks.
Web Design Sucks.
Web Design Sucks.
If there is a program out there I can use to group colors by the primary color they are most associated with and just randomly pick from that palate I would probably die of utter happiness.
Other things that suck:
Web design.
Just in case I didn't mention it.

The Wall
There's this wall in my life right now. It is a huge monolithic white limestone wall from hell and right across it, there is the perfect name for a certain web development company. I figured last night that the best way to demolish this wall was to run into it as hard as I could, using my cranium as a nice little buffer for my body. This, unsurprisingly, yielded nothing but frustration. An on the note of frustration, let me talk a little bit about domain parkers.
First, I'll preface my comment by adding that I was not on the ball back in the late '90s when the dross of the entrepreneurial world was accumulating web real estate by the truckloads with a voracity that would put England to shame even back in her colonistic days. No, I was in high school, blissfully unaware that this group of total TOOLBAGS (albeit smart toolbags) was collecting all the names I would someday want more than my next breath and making thousands of pointless, duplicated web pages with them. They did this in order to have someone like myself--a young, innocent, optimistic, doe-eyed little business starter-- come around and buy these domain names for ridiculous, unfair, awfully high prices. To hell with you you smarter-than-me people! I dislike you!
Anyway, back to names. It just makes me shudder that such a small and seemingly insignificant thing as a name can hold up the works to something much much bigger. Maybe it's because of the pressure to find one that the wall is so high. Oh well. Maybe instead of banging my head against it, I'll start looking for handholds. That would be far more intelligent.
