Things turned out pretty nicely for my final flash project, which was not very flashy.
After reading the MIT Press book on grid systems I’ve seen a couple things that could stand correction, but overall, it was a success. This persistent revisionism is what breaks my heart, but now that I have more resources for more projects, I feel like the probability that I might actually get some chops with flash and flex have increased.
After getting up early and then getting up late today, I figure I should continue with my list making.
- Refine original page for grid systems. It is now located at famous-sales. If I were completely foreign it would be a fantastic page already. It’s still the ultimate bodega name.
- Layout elements for the portfolio site for an animator friend. I think her beautiful work is an excellent opportunity to see what I can do with flash video and quality footage.
- Finish revising subtitles for my team project in process. I’m two-thirds of the way through, and I’ve finally moved into a steady work-flow.
- See what Zippangu Treasures has to say about my order. Hopefully the birthday present I ordered is on its way.
- See what I can do with script.aculo.us. I keep looking at it, but I haven’t used Javascript for anything interesting since I was a kid.
Hopefully that will suffice for today. Technology has a way of eating up all of a day, but I would really like to be reading a little more. I find myself on trains and long walks spending way longer than I ever had before on single pages, rereading whole passages that turn out to be irrelevant. It has been excellent exercise, but I’ll never be as impressive as that guy who juggles while he runs through my neighborhood.
