  1. CS6 Trial...Brain f*a*r*t!

    After running the Illustrator CS6 trial for a month, I saw a few new things I'd like to have, but I really didn't notice a difference in overall performance. Until.... Then one day, after the trial expired, I began clearing off the menu bar and noticed there were two buttons for...
  2. I peacefully coexist betwixt the two halves....

    A very most-awesome ad from Merceedes. I found a high-res photo on Flikr and it's now my desktop. A couple of variations in theme: http://www.fuelyourcreativity.com/left-brain-vs-right-brain-advertising/ I initially started out my career in the left brain...but have gradually migrated...
  3. Can I FAX that to you?

    Is it just me, or does the rest of the world seem to be terribly slow to embrace tecnhology these days? I still have vendors who want to send me documents (rate cards, information, etc...) via fax because they don't know how to use the scanner and email...and the "person who knows how to use...
  4. Your thoughts on "Branding"

    I just stumbled onto some good info on branding. Here's what I noted from the first few paragraphs: - A logo is not the same thing as your brand (although it does represent your brand). - A brand defines the "DNA" of your company - Branding is "storytelling", and bringing the...
  5. Google Doodle...High Hurdles

    http://google.com Warning...HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! So far, my best is 15.3 seconds.... Alternate arrow keys to make him run faster, hit the space bar to jump...what a way to waste an afternoon. BTW, he doesn't have anything on Mario. UPDATE: with two of us working the keyboard, we...

  8. Seeking a beekeeper who knows hot stamping / screen printing

    I started a small sidline business ten years ago that catered a couple of specialty printed products to beekeepers. No other company produces these items....they're something I came up with on my own. To make a long story short, I've since moved in another direction with my business but...
  9. SignLab AI import Eureka momemt

    Well, after using SignLab and AI for seven years now, I had a eureka moment in the wee hours of the morning that will be long remembered. To make a long story short, we use AutoCAD and AI to do the bulk of our node editing and artwork creation for monument work (stencil cutting). Sometimes...
  10. Friday the 13th...two days early?

    My wife looked out the door this morning, just as a passing truck hauling junk drove by. In a split second, she saw a wheel (that was on the bed of the trailer) bounce off, hit the road and then become airborne. After several swift bounces, it managed to hit my humble little engraved limestone...
  11. Considering the "V" word...

    Nope, not vasectomy...but vegetarian. To make a long story short, major health problems further up in my family tree are are rampant and sadly, self-inflicted. Something in the back of my mind has been gnawing at me to start making some major changes, and just this week I stumbled upon...
  12. Backup proceedure or program for the "uneducated"

    I've been doing my backups the old fashioned way with external hard drives...basically "copy" and "pasting" the files to copy them onto my backup drives. There must be a better way to do things. I'm running just a single computer and would like to be educated on my options for speeding...
  13. Is customer service really this bad?

    I called a supplier inquiring about product "XYZ".... First words out of her mouth were "...Well....have you checked our web site?" After several minutes of waiting on hold, she appears with a "canned sales speech" and said if I'd like to purchase, I could do it right there on the web...

  16. Way too cool Google doodle...

    Today's Google doodle is way over the top....there's absolutely no doubt that it out guns the Les Paul guitar doodle. It's a tribute to the inventer of the Moog electronic synthesizer, Robert Moog. Check it out and play with all 21 knobs and a slider...it even lets you "record" UP TO FOUR...
  17. Illustrator CS6: What do YOU think?

    I downloaded the Illy CS6 demo and have been playing around with it to see what it has. It doesn't appear to have that many new tools that I would use compared to CS5, but I really like the new interface and the new layout of the control panels. For some reason the darker interface is very...
