I've always been quite a careful typist, and double checked my posts, but lately its as if I have realised that searching for perfection in this area is not only futile, but less true to the art of expression than jsut typing like the shit knuckled talking monkey I know mysewlf to be. Thusly, armed only with my apalling spelling, I will go forward boldly to cross the five wide blue mountains of civilised societal srtucture and communicate truly, visualy and with gusto. you cunts.

Not sure why I've been running at the mouth so much. Maybe some sort of nervous exhaustion or mental breakdown. If I mention it here, maybe I'll finally shut the fuck up.

we have to do a moderate update on this little book, and I'd like to do it on uncoated paper, but I'm deathly afraid it will end up looking drab and flat. There's a lot of spot grey ink and color photography. Currently it's on matte coated, with matte laminate on the cover. Do you think it's worth the risk?
- almost no type********
- newsprint is what the kids are doing these days.********
- yeah, I can't go that far.********
- How about a really toothy uncoated with spot gloss varnish AND spot matte varnish? Contrast!MrOneHundred
- Can't you have a draw-down done with the gray on some potential stocks to see if you like it?NotByHand
- what I'm really afraid of is all the grey********
- Or is it the photography that you fear will suck?NotByHand
- we are having drawdowns, but it's so hard to gauge the net overall effect********
- I know the photos will be more subdued, and I think that's ok to a degree, but I'm afraid********
- True - but that's why 'you get the big bucks', right :)NotByHand
- that the net effect with the grey will be flat and dark********
- Have you seen the drawdowns already?NotByHand
- My biggest concern with going uncoated would be that the solid areas of gray could appear...NotByHand
- ... a little more 'speckled' or not as clean (you know what I mean). But you should be able to tell...NotByHand
- ... from the drawdowns.
Maybe double hits?NotByHand - there's also a spot metallic, so all the 6 wells are accounted for********
- potential upside doesn't seem worth it********
- thanks for the input********
- A good uncoated won’t speckle.MrOneHundred
- it would be Mohawk superfine********
- You shouldn’t get any speckling with that.MrOneHundred
- Yeah, you should be fine with Mohawk. I didn't mean speckling per say... just, it's different on uncoated.NotByHand
- From the pictures, it looks like it would be nice on uncoated (imo).NotByHand
- i have a piece like this on uncoated with full bleed black with aqueous coating and it doesn't look drab._salisae_
- beautiful book btw_salisae_
- what is it?_salisae_
- Maybe talk to your printer about aqua sealing stock first and then printing over that to keep it punchy?Horp

Time to go home.
- Lucky you.MrOneHundred
- But I've been at school / work all day. Must be the time difference :PJaline

I often wish I was 10-15 years younger, so that I would have learned the basics of web-design as part of my education. I'm not sure why, but I've always been intimidated by learning HTML, Java, Flash/Actionscript... etc.
Now, on top of the intimidation factor, I find it hard to find the time to dive into it and learn (with family, work, and all that).
Any suggestions/advice?- If you’d learned it at school, you’d probably be doing it wrong and hating it anyway.MrOneHundred
- Let me do it?Jaline
- WATCH YOURSELF, MR100Jaline
- To be honest, I learned a lot of stuff by doing it on my own for 5+ years. But I'm going to school now, and I'm learning a lotJaline
- of things I wouldn't have thought of before if it weren't for the specific school environment and the standards.Jaline
- Maybe set a side a night in the week to do some exploration. Or if time allows more.canuck
- Hahaha - you're probably right, Chris. I never thought of it like that. And you guys are right -NotByHand
- I just need to set some aside and dive in. A night a week is a good idea.NotByHand
- I meant high-school-school, Jaline, not big school. ;-)MrOneHundred
- Start by building your online portfolio maybe? Gives you a purpose and a something to work towards,canuck
- What canuck said. Start off slow. It may be frustrating, because you want to learn everything at the same time.Jaline
- I see, Mr100.Jaline
- I've designed several sites over the years, but have always worked with somebody to code it.NotByHand
- Which unfortunately also has become a convenient 'out' for me as far as learning code myself.NotByHand
- I'm not looking to become 'great' either... just basic stuff. Just the ability to do fairly simple sites and such.NotByHand
- Shouldn't take too long, actually. One day a week for a few hours is good for now.Jaline
- Cool. Appreciate the advice, guys. Prepare to bombarded with stupid questions :)NotByHand

i find myself oddly out of place here lately. it's amazing how much you miss if you are too busy to blog for a few days.
the inside jokes move at the speed of light here.
and without me to repeat the for 3 or 4 pages it's hard to keep up.
*eats waffle. chokes.
- You should try posting out of the blog thread! They all know eachother but I don’t l
know any of them!MrOneHundred - It's true. there are still jokes I don't understand from this past summer, lolJaline
- So true... when I do some work and come back here, there are some many things going on...NotByHand
- ... I just give up even trying to understand. I guess that's what dog-ears are for, right?NotByHand
- there are other threads? i only bookmarked this one...7point34
- Who are you again?canuck

i used to pride myself at being able to keep up, i would re-read every page i missed out on. i skimmed a lot but for the most part i estimate i've read 60-70% of the blog thread since last year.
i'm not sure if that's something to take pride in or just tragic.
- NotByHand0
I rarely have an interest in any of the other threads... I'd say 5% or so. I think it's a combination of the average thread content and the overwhelming amount of clowns that post in them.
