You can now find me at 106 William St. Same City, Same State.
That is all.
What I need:
1) One Web layout (with three sections), preferably in Photoshop format.
2) Two Logo designs, preferably in Photoshop format or Illustrator vector format.
The Problem: I've been assigned to create two websites, one in Wordpress and one in Drupal, so prove my skill using these two platforms. I've got a review on August 5 and I need to have these two sites ready to demo to my boss. If I don't complete them, I get fired.
Project Descriptions:
1) WEB LAYOUT
The web layout(s) will be for the Drupal site. If you've never designed a web layout for a CMS before, don't worry about it. What I need is at least 3 layouts for the pages on the site. The first layout should be the home page. The second will be an inner content page (like an about us page or something similar). The third a contact page, with a form for users to submit their info.
The site I'm working is a travel blog. The site will have information about various destinations and such. The site will also be somewhat furry in the sense that the majority of the articles will probably be about traveling to cons, etc (just because I need to fill with content fast, and I might as well write about something i know!)
If you've read this far and aren't sure of your design skills, please contact me and lets try to determine if you're a good fit for this. If you don't think so, you can still help with writing articles for the site. The site does not have a name yet. See below for info about naming it.
2) WEB LOGOS
I need two logos created. The first will be for the site above. Since I've not decided on a name yet for the site, this will be more difficult. See info below for naming this site.
The second logo will be for a non-profit organization that my mom is doing. The name of this site is Hooked on a Dream. My mom creates pillows and wall hangings using Latch Hook, then sells them to raise money for the Children's Cancer Centers at Connecticut Children's Hospitals. The logo she's looking for is the name of her organization. The original "logo" she used was a piece of clipart with a green field, a sunny day with a few clouds and a rainbow. Her only request is that the rainbow and her organization's name be incorporated into the logo.
Naming the furry travel site:
If you have a suggestion for a name for the site, please comment below. The name must be available as a .com or .net domain.
PAYMENT - OMG! I can get paid for this?
Yes you can! The best design for each one will win. There is no cost to enter! You've got nothing to lose!
The best Web layout for the travel site will win $20.
The best logo for the travel site will win $20.
The best logo for Hooked on a Dream will win $20.
You will be paid via PayPal or by personal check (I'll cover fees/shipping).

Thanks!
DJay Starlight.
Or perhaps DJ Andi Starlight. Andi Starlight, of course, being the name of my tiger fursona. This actually sounds better. Perhaps it will stick.
I mixed my first set today and it sucked. Then again, I was trying to mix an iPod Touch with iTunes on my computer. Couldn't really get the beats mixed right, and everyone song had a different BPM. A difficult task for even the most experienced DJs.
The next step is going to be getting some CD players. A mini step I can take before then is to open up my favorite tracks, find their BPM and using Audacity, make them all the same BPM (and the same volume!!!). I know its cheating, but it's a good strategy for noob DJs, like me. I'll burn those tracks to CD-Rs, and then I'll load up those CDs and mix away!
I'll need to find a way to record the mix if for some reason I deem my computer incapable.
I could have made a tracklist for this initial set, but didn't.
But if you must know, the tracks included:
PPK - Hey DJ (Original Mix)
Alex Morph - Walk The Edge (Morph Woody van Eyden Remix)
Oceanlab - On a Good Day (Daniel Kandi Remix)
PPK - Resurrection (Radio Mix)
Slyder - Score
Accadia - Into the Dawn (James Holden Remix)
Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes (Sweeping Strings Mix)
plus a few more.
The rental car is costing me $208.04 (since my car is dead).
The cost of gas is going to cost about $100 (based on 900 miles, >25 mpg, $2.60 avg gas price).
I am leaving New Haven, CT on Thursday July 2 at 10:00 AM. (picking up the rental at 8:30 AM)
I will be returning to New Haven, CT on Monday July 6 at 5:00 PM. (rental due back by 6 PM)
If you want a ride:
- You must pay 1/x of the cost of the rental, and at least 1/1.5x of the cost of gas, where x is the total number of passengers, including myself.
- Your travel schedule MUST fit in with the schedule above.
- NOTE: You may elect to travel with me on only one of the days, finding your own ride to or from Pittsburgh.
Your total payment for Thursday must be paid either via PayPal by Thursday at 8:00 AM or via cash at time of pickup.
Your total payment for Monday must be paid either via PayPal by Monday at 8:00 AM or via cash before leaving Pittsburgh.
If you pay ahead of time and some else joins the carpool after you've paid, you will receive a credit, on Tuesday via PayPal.
My PayPal address: jazzerus@gmail.com.
I look forward to riding with you to AC!
If you want to know whats up, contact me offline.

The day of the meeting, I slept in and then went to the meeting. The meeting was at a bar and it was myself, the guy, and another guy, telling me how much they love what I'm doing and how they want to make me famous. Pete walked through that bar, told me he needed to speak with me. So after the meeting, I went outside and somehow I found myself on a softball field. Today was the day of the DS Softball Game and I guess because I missed it, I got fired. So I talk to Pete and he starts crying, telling me how great I am and how much he hates having to fire me, how much I will be missed, etc. So without a job anymore, I ended up moving up to New Hampshire and became Tamara's butler. The end.
If dreams like this are the result of smoking too much hookah, then I'm going to need to smoke more often.
Also, I'm behind on my updating of this journal. I want to post the events of the past two weekends, so someone remind me to do this after work please.
Thanks!
Constructive criticism please!

And if you noticed my recent post on the anthrocon LJ community, you saw that I was looking for a room. That room has been secured (with bedspace!!).
Now my search begins for a ride. I'm most likely going to have to rent a car. Who's wants to carpool with me and perhaps split the cost? Ooooooor if you've got a ride already, and have space, let me know! I'll gladly pay my portion of the ride!
Edit: I'm driving from New Haven, CT.

( Full convo )
Anyway, I was able to keep the plans that I had made with Rueiko (and the other plans that came up afterwards).
Here's part one of my journey. I made this trip with only 40 min of sleep over two days, due to an all-nighter I was forced to take for work Thursday night.
> http://tinyurl.com/d9b44p <
(this, and all other tinyurl links in this post go to maps.google.com)
I stopped for about an hour in Lowell to see Tabi and Fortune, who bought me dinner.
I watched the end of the Deep Space animated movie with him and his sister and then we went to sleep. We woke up the next day and watched TV. Dusty was having a going away party and I decided we would both drive down for the party, then come back up to NH afterwards. I'm not sure how I managed to stay awake.
Here is that route:
> http://tinyurl.com/bhqake <
We went to sleep shortly after getting back since it was about 4:00 am. We slept in the next day and I dropped Rueiko off at work before heading back home. But instead of going directly home I decided to stop in Boston for a few hours first.
The main route is here:
> http://tinyurl.com/ad2qhu <
The route that I walked in Boston is below. This route starts and ends at the 420 Boylston St waypoint in the map above, which is the location where I parked.
Walking route:
> http://tinyurl.com/cb6ujk <
The walking route has two edits that need to be made due to Google Maps' walking directions not being able to show pedestrian walkways.
The first one is at the circular building by the courthouse. The map shows me walking around the entire building, but instead, there were two walkways that I took that were not visible on the map. The route I took is HERE.
The second one is at Boston Commons and the Public Garden on the walk back to the car. That route is HERE.
I did snap a few pictures along the way, which can be viewed on my facebook profile in the Boston 3/1/09 album or by clicking the link below:

Time to go to sleep for now. I had a fun weekend that I'll never forget. But I need to prepare myself for the coming week and weekend.
Edit:
Also, I did a little math and found that my weekend lasted 50 hours. Of which, I spent (according to Google Maps) 13.4 hours driving. That's 26.8%!!
That's all for now.
Everything on the table below is probably going to be for sale.
Close friends get preference, furfriends next, then general public.
Also, if you know of any really easy ways to make money, please let me know!
