Well, I wasn't.

This is just a quick hit to tell you about the shiny changes over at bitmatt! Check it out and marvel at the shiny.

Now I'm going to fall into a coma for a little while.

I yanked the link to this Online Presence NOT BLOG off my professional site not because I'm afraid a current or potential employer might get here from there (I don't care), I did it because I think I might want to start telling stories about Becky's kraaaazy family. I'm considering a recurring feature, "Single Sentence Of Drama", which would follow the general guidelines set forth in this post. The only reason I'm mentioning this now is to remind myself why I did it later.

Also I should mention for those interested in The Process, Adobe InDesign is the bomb-diggety. You don't even KNOW! For my current projects I've made the switch from Quark Xpress, which I used for years and years. Now I've got a whole slew of recurring jobs that I always do in Quark that I'm wondering if it would be worth it to redo using InDesign. It's a joy to use. I feel privileged just to be alive in the time of such a program. I'd say "I'm not worthy" except that's a gay thing to say and everybody knows that I'm the worthiest (most worthyful) ever.

There's a big pile of things to see in the "Commercial Art" section of bitmatt. There will be more, but that's the stuff I've gotten to so far. I figured out how to make the cool slide show pages today!

ALSO- totally false alarm on the Pox thing. Nobody's got Pox- I REPEAT- no Pox.

ALSO #2- I'm pimping The Venture Brothers again on Cartoon Network at 10:30. BELIEVE IT.

Today I'm attempting to be a beeter (I mean "BETTER" that was a funny typo though) friend. Or maybe a beeter friend, I guess that remains to be seen. I attempted to e-mail a guy who was my best pal in college at the last e-mail addy I had for him. No surprise that didn't work, the last e-mails we traded were 6 years ago. Whoops! I think I might try to see if he's current in the alumni records. Wonder what he's up to. FACT: This guy had magic powers with women of which he either was completely unaware or just never wanted to use to his advantage. Maybe he was afraid of going to the Dark Side. Whatever, he was the only guy I ever met who could walk into any bar in town, do NOTHING, and strange hot women would buy him drinks. This was unheard of, especially in a college town. Maybe in sad middle age divorcee bars that sort of thing happens all the time, but in college? I knew so many hot girls in school who went uptown all the time with absolutely no money and come home hours later hammered on all the booze bought by horny dudes or comped by bartenders, but this never works the other way where girls buy beers for guys, it's a rule. Girls don't have to buy guys drinks. But I saw John pull free beer many times just by standing around. It was amazing. We always thought he had some sort of mutant abilities. Not on me though, we were roommates for a whole year and I didn't try to seduce him even once that I remember. We drank a lot back then though, so I guess anything is possible. NO! NOT POSSIBLE.

Also today I registered another domain name. It will eventually supplant mayhems.com as my professional contact URL, if I can figure out some key redirects it may change soon. The new name is "bitmatt.com" . Short, digital-ish, easy to remember- I think it's a winner!
