There was a nice little gathering last night at Little Professor Bookstore over in Westgate.

Ran the stats report on our poster printer today. We’re using an HP 800ps printer and it gives all sorts of data on how much paper we’ve used and how much ink we’ve gone through. It’s been a while since I did that, so the results were pretty amazing.

There’s a strangely ornate warming dish in the break room. It’s been there since yesterday wtih nothing in it. It’s plain steel with fluted brass-colored columns supporting the main dish above the little brass-clad sterno tray. The plain steel top has a little brass rooster-comb of a handle in the middle that must get nice and toasty when the thing is up and running. Nobody seems to know why it was left there or what catering event it was used for.

I started checking out Apple’s new iTunes and the online music service.. So far I’m pretty darn impressed. The thirty second ‘live preview’ gives a good idea of the song, and the price point of 99 cents a song seems quite reasonable. I bought three songs and had them downloaded and playing in under a minute.

I’m sure a slower connection would be torture, but they reccomend DSL or cable when you click on it, so it’s not like they didn’t warn people…

The best thing about early summer cookouts is the lack of bugs. They didn’t really become a problem until after sunset, and by then things were breaking up anyway. My future mom-in-law has an early morning work schedule that makes it tough for her to stay up for long after 8pm.

I’m hoping to have an entry later on today. It’s getting kind of busy though, and I’ve got errands to run to prepare for visitors tomorrow. On the other hand, it’s already been a pretty successful weekend. Many things got done around the house today… The problem is that it wasn’t my house that the things got done around.

I guess it’s easier to proofread a poster when it’s printed full sized than it is to check your work before submitting it.

It’s more expensive though. By a lot.

Plus we’re out of paper.

It’s take a kid to work day or something similar here, and one of our best clients has two kids who want to do something with computers and art. We gave them a quick tour of what we do, sat them down and took pictures of them, let them play around with Photoshop for a bit. Then we got the Zome tools out and they went absolutely nuts building stuff.

I’ve got a mild poke-in-the-eye type headache occupying far too much of my attention right now. It’s not severe enough to be incapacitating, but it’s enough to slow me down. I blame the weekend. It’s not that I partied excessively or anything. I just had a couple of late nights in a row and not enough time to recover from them yet.

I’m working on a project that I’m presenting this Saturday, so I haven’t had much time to write. Tomorrow isn’t looking good either.

We’ll see.
