Today’s mile — 10:00
Not too shabby since the last time I ran was a week ago.
Messing with After Effects
Found a good tutorial today at creativecow.net on building elements in After Effects.
Here’s what I did:
Ike
Yesterday, remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through the area and knocked out the power for 180,000 people. Luckily, I have power in Clayton. My office in Centerville, however, does not. That means an extra day off for Erin. Yippee! My mom wasn’t so lucky though. A neighbor’s tree pulled their power lines out of their house.
I’ll probably spend the day on Lynda.com learning After Effects.
I need to come up with some kind of “reel” for the home page of our website at work.

Well, Crap
So, to start off, I haven’t done a very good job updating this thing. I guess that’s because I’m never really quite sure what to write. If what follows comes off sounding random, its because I’m forcing myself to write something.
I started a delicious profile. My username is ejane84 if anyone would like to visit someday. I’m mostly adding bookmarks to sites that have to do with what I’m interested in most — design. I think that there is some kind of Wordpress plugin that adds my most recent bookmarks in the right sidebar that I plan on adding at some point.
