my life sucks. a magazine in front of me. an article about a design agency in germany. and then at the end, they are talking about their red dot & german design awards last year.
the sad thing is: I designed that brochure.
- Where you freelancing for them?MrOneHundred
- That does kind of suck, moa, but... it could be worse! You could be anxious_arms, mate.********
- aye Mr100. ;( and hahah pylonmoamoa
- kelpie0
so you do a lot of completely uncredited freelance work for design companies, which they then submit to awards and crow about as if one of them did it? is this normal?
- MrOneHundred0
Maybe you need to include something in your contract about co-art-director status on any award submissions, or something.
- I don´t freelance for design agencies anymore. just doing ad for ad agencies.and they will niver accept that ;(moamoa
- he laughs all the way to the bank, hey, moa?********
- ad for ad.. haah you know what I mean ;)moamoa

I like the changes Google has made to the buttons for Gmail, but I get confused when I am looking for the Labels. It should be visually different from the other buttons, in my opinion. I guess they tried to do that by adding little arrow icons and by separating them from the buttons to the left, but it still takes me a half-second longer to remember where it is.

A check of mine wasn't going through for a bill I paid and I realized I grabbed an old booklet of checks from a previous account and only went about paying FIVE bills with it. arrgh. Crazy thing is I'm getting some statements back saying 'thank you for your payment.'
What a clusterfuck.
- that would suck if those five checks somehow produced a ripple effect that put the final nail in the coffin of the economy********
- I fear this may end up taking you years to sort out. :-(MrOneHundred

Hey, it's 2010. I feel like I am in the 3D world of "The Simpsons".
- Are you calling from the future?********
- helloJaline
- hai.********
- I may move to Toronto in the future. I already go there a bunch of times during the year.Jaline
- Do you live downtown?Jaline
- Yep. Not as downtown as in the old days but still downtown.********
- cool. I don't go there much.Jaline
- There's nothing in Toronto, downtown. Just north of parkdale in a 100 yr-old house, slow-motion reno right now. Better bars and food in the hood than downtown. Cooler peeps, too.********
- etter bars and food in the hood than downtown. Cooler peeps, too.********
- It's a watered-down version of NY. But I still love it. Cheaper, and certain cultures are more prevalent.Jaline
- I mean "watered-down" in terms of having everything in the world in one place, as NY claims. And people film there.Jaline
- ...because NY is too busy to film in sometimes. So Toronto makes a decent alternative.Jaline
- Totally true. As far as Canada goes, I like it. Lived in Montreal for five years, which is great for a while... but no work there.********

I chose not to write one. I just took various courses and did individual, smaller research papers for them. There is no real difference.
- huh you can do that? not possible in germanymoamoa
- You did a Masters though, right? Even still, we have more freedom at all levels. It's nice.Jaline
- We can do a research paper, a thesis (much longer), and take courses at the same time.Jaline
- hmmmm sounds more flexible. we had pure dictatorship. ;(moamoa
- Germany's funny that way...
;)
I'm sorry, I like to dig at Germany. I'm german. I left.******** - Things weren't good there in the eighties.********
- they are not better now ;) na kidding. I love the south ;)moamoa
- Berlin is great, but was difficult. The south is good. I have family all over B-W, mostly around Mannheim & Ulm.********

My dissertation was about the perfect system a town-council should have to be extremely efficient, and transparent to the citizen. And was built over several best practices, studied to be cheap and scalable, and the interface designed to be extremely usable and accessible.
it was so good and perfect that it was laughed at endlessly
- MrOneHundred0
As an uneducated person, I have not had the pleasure of writing a dissertation. Hence my feelings of inadequacy.
- Never too late to start.
Mr100, I want 10,000 words about red pandas and sea monkies on my desk, Monday morning.******** - More deadlines!
*Shelves QBN book project, fires up Google, types “red padnas”.MrOneHundred - Take an English class while you're at it...Jaline
- that was meant to be a joke about my lack of education. You are talking about padnas, right?MrOneHundred
- Yes, Mr. Red Padnas. I think they're a type of ant or bat or something.********
- I don't know...Jaline
- Never too late to start.
