Classic

Exit signs v. Green pictograms. I'm all for a good pictogram but when it all comes down to it...I'm a words kinda girl and I like the classic touch of the "Exit" sign. For some reasson it makes me think of diners and drive-in movies. I love change and it can definitely be a good thing...but not on this. What in the world am I talking about? Read on...click.

Gross Out

Today's theme seemed to be, "Let's present Cort with the grossest images on the planet." Worked on next project with Tykia and it seems promising. Though our research left me with a sensitive stomach...then I just had to go dig up that video from "I Love You, Man" and the watch it...a few times. It was funny but gross. The other stuff earlier was less funny but more gross. Yes...keep that in mind.

IN YOUR FACE!!! IN YOUR FACE!!!

Imagine this in 3D with the new tvs set for distribution. Beyond gross. Some things were made just for 2D. I don't know if I'm on board with this whole thing. I LOVED seeing Alice this past weekend, but part of the allure of 3D films is the entire movie theatre experience. It isn't something that you can truly re-create in the comfort of your living room. 3K for the set itself and then the specially made glasses for the entire family...then of course you have to put money out for the movies themselves. Worth it? I don't know...there's a certain amount of magic in sitting in the movie theatre, munching on overly-buttered corn, and "aah"ing at that thing coming at you off the screen.

Could be interesting for certain programs through. Sports, horror movies, & sci-fi shows. Not so interesting for the news, golf (sorry...*snoozefest...1D, 2D, 3D...it doesn't matter)...yea. It's a no-go until maybe it drops from 3k like the flat screens. We'll talk in a few more years.

Get'er done!!! I did it. Phew. It's up and gave my little spiel about it in class :D

faghedaboutit

If you at first do not succeed, try...try...try again. That's fine and I've lived by that for as long as I can remember, but there is virtue in giving up. A lot of the time when you're just too exhausted to think or try any more and your mind is distracted by sleep or anything else that has nothing to do with the problem plaguing your senses, that's when the answer comes. I tried all last night to get this project uploaded onto the student pages and its there...just more so as a list of files, rather than the finished product I can see when I test my links through Dreamweaver. At a point, I threw up my hands and thought "faghedaboutit." It wasn't actually a part of the assignment...and we'll have a section on this in class. So I slept and I dreamed and suddenly I knew the answer or at least I thought I did. Site Map. That's the answer...and now I've got two different programs where I was using the FTP thing...I've got two books and youtube vids giving me directions and yet still...after hours this morning...I'm in "faghedaboutit" mode.

Here's a little vid that expresses my depth of feeling at the moment. Please do not watch if you are sensitive to expletives....no, seriously. Well, just the first minute or so. After that you're on your own. I love Mamet.

To GoDaddy or Not To GoDaddy...

Yes...that was the question. On the site now. I've got my project just about ready to post for tomorrow's class. Now looking at GoDaddy and not sure if I should just do that or use space allotted to students. I could always transfer everything over down the road but I heard that was a pain in the katookis. Hmm...

Midterm + Dreamerweaver = Madwoman

By George, I think I've got it. Kinda. Mostly. Finally just about done with this project. Think...or no I KNOW I made it alot more complicated than it had to be. I'm satisfied, though. Tomorrow, I work on figuring out how to get it all loaded up and ready for Thursday night. *fingers crossed.*
