Breaking Ground

Its official - I have a new site in the works for a local restaurant. The project will consist of a new design fro their website, setting them up with a email application, and more. I'm excited. It's a place I have enjoyed going to for dinner several times. It fits my bill of privately owned, small, local business. Yippy!

Yesterday, I was in Baltimore, MD, for a retailer summit meeting for the comic book industry. I went to a presentation on building bigger better websites for retailers. A lot of time was spent discussing how to make sure you get what you pay for and don't get screwed out of what is yours. I couldn't believe how much was said. I was in a room of retailers looking to build websites - probably only 1 of 3 or 4 designers in the room. The whole talk made me kind of sad.
These people are in need of something that not everyone can do but have their guard up because of some bad stories.
I don't like fine print. I know it's their to cover somebodies behind. It just always seems kind of dirty to me. Give people hard honest work and you will get a lot farther in life then trying to be deceitful. Or maybe you can make millions lying, but I know which would let me sleep soundly at night.

Busy in Baltimore

I've been keeping busy enjoying fall, lining projects up, sewing, and cooking. :) Keeps me on my toes. I have two meetings next week and will be in Baltimore for the comic book day either two or three days for a retailer meeting and comic convention.
The Captain Blue Hen Comics is having an author signing in November. Three local and well established authors will be there from noon until 5ish. I put together some images for the stores website and facebook yesterday morning. For more information on the authors or the signing, or the store in general check out their site - I had a part in designing it too :P
