Getting jobs is cool!

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!

Del.icio.us is freaking amazing. Oh quit rolling your eyes! Yes, yes I know that I'm way behind the social network power curve here, but I just created a delicious account and it is seriously yummy in my tummy.

It's really the best way out there to have a nice, organized list of your favorites. And what's more, you can save pages out for other people AND you can tag your favorites however you want, just like tagging blog posts so that they're easily sortable. And what's even better is that you can do all this without leaving the page you're on. I'm a total convert.

I posted Cypherstyles on delicious and within 7 minutes, 5 people had favorited the link. Considering our demographic, (the non-blog-reading, pot-smoking hip hop listening BBoy types,) that's INCREDIBLE!

If you don't already have a Delicious account, get one.
