Shot during the course of a typical work day, this video is the first I’ve made using my new Aiptek A-HD camcorder. The campus you see is the University of Evansville, where I work as a web developer. The music is from “My Life” performed by Billy Joel. I edited this video in iMovie ‘08 in less than an hour. It was the first time I’d used the new version.
A night of continuous snow and freezing rain turned my car into a block of ice. There wasn’t a single inch without a sheet of frozen water covering it this morning. The university decided to close down today so I get to stay home. However, I think I’m going to de-ice my car none the less. I have to pick up some food for lunch and dinner. Wish me luck!
Designers of the world will appreciate the following tongue-in-cheek advertisement. It’s for a cream that magically “makes your logo bigger!”, a common request made by those stubborn clients who have no design sense what-so-ever. If this stuff was real, I fear it would be a hot seller among middle management. I especially have to laugh at the included “White Space Remover” spray. If you ever find yourself asking a professional designer for any of the things that these products are selling, please… don’t. We’ll thank you for it.
They are building a new university center on the campus where I work. When finished it’ll be the largest building in the area. Unfortunately, they are also converting what was a highly used parking lot into a green space.
This blog covers the life and pastimes of a modest web developer and damn proud geek who goes by the handle "ckohler". A long time Internet user, he's into video games, movies, computers and technology so expect to see a lot of that here. Just don't expect a lot of excitement. He lives a modest, mundane but otherwise rewarding existence.
