you should be able to tell what parts were done based on sketches and
what was strictly with the wacom...saw an instructional dvd a while ago
and this one guy was just simply amazing with his sketching ability with
the wacom...but anyway...

Monkey
i've haven't found a great way to scan in the rough sketches that are done in
my blue pencil...the whole point with a blue pencil is that you can sketch
things out...ink it...scan it in and the blue doesn't scan...so you're left with
really nice inked sketches...so trying to show the blue gets tough....

two days away
two days of offsite meetings...1 sweet game of kickball...1 game of mafia...
an okay bed...the ability to roll up against a wall and sleep...and some cafeteria
food that my stomach is still arguing with...all in all not bad...although next
time i'll stay away from the meatballs.

Quotes on work
I usually try to take notes on stuff that hits me...and lately it seems like the
best place to keep that stuff is on this blog. So pay no attention if you're not
interested...it's just random notes.
I think most of use are looking for a calling, not a job. Most of us, like the
assembly line worker, have jobs that are too small for our spirit. Jobs are
not big enough for people
-Studs Terkel
You can buy a man's time; you can buy his physical presence at a given
place; you can even buy a measured number of his skilled muscular motions
per hou. But you can not buy enthusiasm...you can not buy loyalty...you can
not buy the devotion of hearts, minds or souls. you must earn these.
-Clarence Francis
Down at the plant, I'm doing a job. And when I die, somebody else will be
doing this job. And when he dies, somebody else will do it. I dunno. Makes
you feel great to be a part of something like that.
-Homer Simpson
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good
artist, or a good workman.
-John Ruskin
People cannot be trusted to do their jobs if they do not know how. And if
they have incompetent leaders, the coefficient of the mistrust is the number
of those leaders multiplied by the number of people who report to them.
-John O Whitney
Try to avoid the mistaken notion that money actually measures anyone's
worth. If it did, Madonna would be a better person than Mother Teresa.
Make a serious effort never to do anything you're not good at, unless you
don't have any choice. And while you're doing what you have no choice
about, figure out what you are good at. Then try to get hired to do that.
Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with
whatever gift each of you has received.
-1 Peter 4:10

an excerpt from "Why Courage Matters" by John McCain
"Not all of us will bear arms for our country. Few of us will ever rush into a burning
building to save others, or stand between criminals and their victims, or push beyond
the limits of our current knowledge to conquer their lives completely to the well-being
of others. Our country's success doesn't depend on universal heroism. Nor does our
individual happiness depend upon proving ourselves heroic.
But we do have to be worthy of the sacrifices made on our behalf. We have to value
our freedom. We have to love it, not for the ease or material riches it provides, not
just for the autonomy it guarantees us, but for the goodness it makes possible. And
we have to love it so much that we will not let it be constrained by fear. It's love,
then, that makes courage necessary.
And it's love that makes courage posible for all of us to possess. We must love freedom
for the right reasons. And, on occasion, our love will need courage to survive, to insist
on our freedom. We'll need courage to be happy......We're all afraid of something.
Some have more fears than others for reasons too various to quantify and examine.
The one we must all guard against is the fear of ourselves.
Don't let the sensation of fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear
is the opportunity for courage, not proof of cowardice. No one is born a coward. We were
meant to love. And we were meant to have the courage for it. So be brave. The rest is easy."

complete randomness
seriously...this one is as random as it gets. so many bits and pieces of details,
conversations, projects, deadlines, you name it and i can promise you something
along those lines has been rattling around in my noggin for the past three days.
so in celebration of that i just crapped on a piece of paper...scanned it...and
posted for your viewing pleasure or other.

Storyboards
Here's some images we're going to drop into the "Super School" videos. "Stratos"...the
older wiser kid at school has the ability to project images while he tells stories...one
more way to keep the kids attracted to the teaching. They're all my "get'er done quick"
style...will drop some color on them...no shadows or highlights...
