Some cool stuff

Well a lot has been giong on and i'm a little tired. i've been getting my scholarship stuff done and also been trying to clear up a few things in my personal life.

So I am moving into the city. And so far the search has been anything but ideal. Haven't really seen anything that does it. Plus everyone wants a feb 1st start date and i am more interested in march 1st so I'm gonna delay a little and wait. Meanhwhile I've been to an IDSA meeting and it was pretty cool.

We went to this place called Conifer - http://www.coniferresearch.com a cool design research firm. They did an interesting study with yahoo about internet dependancy. Basically a bunch of people and families went without internet access for 2 weeks. There are some very interesting video diaries. Check it here.

I am also attending a meeting tonight for design and sustainability. Basically design focused on environmental concerns. First meeting and I'm volunteering to help with the information desk. Anyway We'll see how it goes.

Otherwise things are moving ahead. A new drawing will be in the works for next week. I was told this latest one was cool but not great...So here's to working toward great. Also I've got another idea for funding..need to research it a bit more before i go ahead and let the world know. But the first steps seem good.

Oh and I got mentioned very nicely at a little project that i'm "consulting". More like engaged in a dialogue that is helping the project. See it here - http://www.designforafrica.com/en/preparations/index.php?entry=11

well that's it for me...6 months to go...we'll see and keep praying for me
