I know others have said something similar, but if you are in California (and maybe elsewhere as well) and you do public school projects and install them, you will not get paid until they see the signs on the wall, and the school board has approved the payment. With luck, and a lot of experience...

As far as finding jobs to bid, there are special services (you do pay a fee) that do the work of finding projects of all kinds. One quite good one is Construct Connect. You can find projects, for instance, that have not even gotten an architect yet, but if you want to be part of the team that...

One type of special installer that is needed is installers for ADA sign projects. Many of these jobs are for schools. I would be happy to train anyone in California who is interested in learning the special rules, above and beyond actual installation techniques, that a correct ADA installation...

It's a script font. Normally a script font doesn't have a "bold Italic" version. Script is naturally italic, or slanted. However, I did notice a couple of script-like fonts mixed in with the script fonts -- so I bow to someone who recognized this. The L was the only letter I couldn't check, but...

I don't think you showed up this morning. I was there before 10 am, Too bad, I wanted to meet you.

I knew the person in Canada who was on the committee there that wrote their standards. He wrote the most definitive book on wayfinding -- Paul Arthur. I had lunch at his house, and we were working together on a new symbol to use for disabilities that were not related to wheelchairs. Sadly, he...

Thank you, Jean

Thank you. I like your little waving guy.

I've worked with someone, I think it is North Carolina, on the ANSI Committee. I'll look it up. I think she was from the Fire Marshals office. She is retired nowm but still attends meetings as an "interested party." You might want to sit in on some of our Communications group meetings. We meet...

Johnny, thanks for your great response, recognizing what blind people go through to do what seem like ordinary tasks. One of my long-time colleagues who is blind told me that being blind is like having a second full time job. He worked for years as the head of the disabled student department at...

Just went and looked at your site. Wonderful site and beautiful signs. One of them looked just like our "Pieces and Parts" series. Great minds and all that. Need to get you introduced to thermoforming, and our special font. I certainly wish I could find your twin company in my area. So nice to...

I guess I am old enough to be a legend, and thank you for that. I am honored by the fact that you recognize me! I hope I can keep on for a few years yet. I'm auditioning a young man right now to be the next ADA Sign Lady, (remember when spots like Ann Landers were eventually filled by men and it...

You are excused! I should have left my eagle eye at home. I guess it comes from looking at too many tiny little braille dots. You know I check them for people and give them certificates. So many people were cheating by just taking one braille word and repeating it on every sign. But there were...

I think I already posted this on another thread, but of course I'm trying to figure out who you are. I can't help but wish that this is not some sort of joke at my expense, and you'll turn out to be my next door neighbor who secretly makes signs in his garage. I have a real opportunity for a...
