Oh yeah, that “blogging” thing that I told myself I’d keep up with..

Let’s see, where did I leave off.. Last thing I remember writing about (or at least thinking about writing about) was AEA Boston. That came and went (insert muffled farting noise).. It was great chillin with Joel, Tim and Brad, but I’m not so sure I will be going back next year. I’m sure it’s great if your boss is paying for it, but when it’s directly out of my pocket it makes me a lot more critical of what I am actually getting out of it. I’m not necessarily dissapointed but I just don’t feel they really delivered what I expected after reading the site. Oh well, live and learn.

What else.. Trying to get outside quite a bit, enjoying the weather when possible (ie when not SWAMPY).. Also trying to find time between jobs and yardwork to play drisbee with Apache and grilling whenever possible. My bass boat project is coming along nicely. Unfortunately its probably the most time sensitive of my endless list of projects but also the least important. Such is life..

The most pleasant suprise so far this summer is how busy I have been with freelance clients.. Especially since I haven’t even started whoring myself out on job sites at all. Hooked up with a great little agency out of Venice Beach and am doing some actionscript work for them. It’s nice when clients genuinely appreciate busting your ass for them AND the project is fun to top it off. Good stuff.
Been keeping really busy with a local agency as well. Used to work there about 9 years ago and it was great walking back in and seeing so many familiar faces. There I’ve been doing some cool website, banner, email and interface design for them and they have been really supportive and awesome. That’s about all the keywords I can stomach right now.

I’ve slept about 6 hours in 2 days now so I think it’s time for some tivo, doodling in my sassy new moleskine sketchbook and a cold Virgil’s.

  1. Did you go to AEA Boston this year? or last year?

    I went last year, I was working for a bigger corp who covered the expenses, which I’m ever so grateful for. It was an awesome experience.

    I’m hoping they do it again in 2009, so I can make it back again.
