Looks like lights are going off all over California. Apparently this is one of the perks of deregulation and I guess of capitalism as a whole. Another notch on the proverbial bedpost for the free market.
You know the drill. New survey. Vote.
What is supposed to be the schoolchild’s gateway to college or the work force is mainly seen by even the best and brightest students as a time to drift through class or not show up at all.
You’re kidding! Really? Wow. I would have never guessed that. It took a fucking panel of experts to figure that out?
Sometimes people are so fucking disrespectful it makes me physically ill to my stomach. I went to see downset on Sunday and that crowd that showed up was one of the worst I have ever had to endure. Basically, this band was one of the first, I hate to use the phrase because I hate the music, “rap-metal” bands. Except, downset is more like “hip-hop-hardcore,” if that means anything at all. They have been doing this stuff since 1989 and now they have been kind of shunned aside by the media because their music is extremely political and very heartfelt. They make Fred Durst look like the whiny, derivative little fuck that he is. Well, they got up on stage and basically, there were 10 or 15 kids totally mocking them, doing stupid shit, pissing a lot of people off, myself included. I have no idea if they knew what they were doing, or if they were just really stupid and ignorant and did it because they are young and need attention. This band has meant a lot to me for a long time and I hate to see something that is so purely heartfelt and has no corporate strings attached be disrespected, especially to their faces. Just go home if you don’t like the band.
Holy shit. The company I work for just laid off our entire development/operations staff. Including people that have been around for the entire length of the company’s life. We (the design staff) have been told that we are all safe in our jobs, and that we’re going to transform back into a traditional design shop. I feel horrible for all the people who got laid off.. including people with children. I’m physically ill by this. If ANYONE reading this needs really great Cold Fusion or Java developers, please contact me. They’re all great people who do great work. I’m so sad for them, and quite frightened for myself. Now I’m REALLY depressed Apple didn’t hire me.
If you’ve got any freelance work for a designer, please please let me know.. my portfolio is at Deeperhue.com. Thanks.
So far, my only gripe about MacOS 9.1 is that my second monitor (a badass Sony 15-inch) now can’t do the resolution I used to run it at (1152×870).. which sucks. The monitors control panel will let me set it to 1920×1080 at 60hz (which it can actually do, which is amazing for a 15-inch), but not my preferred resolution. But I’ll give that up for a stable OS.
I am sick and fucking tired of looking for a house/apartment. Seriously.
What the fuck is it with this country and its damn guns.
It seems tech workers like to bring their guns to the office… WTF, I thought we were just supposed to bring our laptops and PDAs.
