Long Day Today

So I haven't been able to fully set up my new machine yet. I own all firewire 400 drives, without USB. So with the new iMac only having a firewire 800 port, I am unprepared. I ordered one a 400 to 800 cable online along with an optical audio cable to hook up to the receiver. I've also been pondering wall and ceiling speakers in the basement so went ahead and picked up some in wall rated speaker wire so I'm ready if I choose to go in that direction. We'll see, and also I'm a jerk by not posting picture of the full basement...

Awesome Mash Up

saw this online today, its awesome...

Another Camping Flyer

Here is another Photoshop Camping Flyer. 2008 Edition.

1st post from the new computer...

with photo and messy basement in background...let the work begin...

New Computer!

The new computer has arrived to the studio..and Ed and I couldn't be any happier.
Ed just needs to put some pictures up (coming soon)

Love is a Force of Nature...

The first camping flier I made for our annual "Manly Weekend" camping trips. Photoshop is a wonderful program...

New Mac

So my computer should be here sometime between the 23rd and the 29th. Can't wait to get things moving. will review on the new machine and the new multi-touch "Magic Mouse."

Also I've been thinking I want to paint the basement a different color for the studio side. This may need to happen...

Can I really post from the road. This is a test of my mobile logging system...

Hoping for Tomorrow...

That the new iMacs will finally drop.

Let's hope so, my wait will finally be over and we'll get to producing some real content. Until then, click over to Moe's DIY Art Blog for some constantly updating art content.

Threats

My wife threatened to punch me in the face... I let her know that she could only do it if we took a picture to replace the pic in the current banner for the site...

Another Day

More iMac rumors abound, supposedly they'll be coming with quad-core processors in the form of Core i7 "Clarksfield" mobile processors from Intel. Can't complain about that, just wish they would go on sale already so I can buy one.

More cleaning later of the basement in preparation of the studio being finished. I've put together a list of items I would like to include in the studio besides the regular stuff for work:

1. 32" wall mounted LCD TV
2. HDMI run from upstairs systems to said TV
3. Drafting Table
4. Fridge
5. Hot Chocolate/Latte Machine
6. Comfy Loveseat
7. Alligator on a Chain(Security)

I spent some more time teaching myself some web design, hope to have up my real site asap. I realize that the only problem with self teaching is you can't ask the teacher questions, since you're the teacher(aka person without the answer).

Either way it seems to be going well so far with the help on a few online resources. Once the site is built and ready I just have to fill it with some of my portfolio and slap that baby on the interwebs.

Side Note: Moe is back from Cali with a new found inspiration. Hopefully the studio will be up and running by the end of the month. Photos as it is now to come soon.

More work and more waiting...

Did some more work cleaning things out to get ready for the new computer and get this thing rolling....unfortunately the wait may kill me...

There hasn't been much word as far as when we can expect new iMacs to drop, just the old rumors from the end of September which are nothing but vague. So far the desk and home entertainment center areas are set up for the most part.

So I wait, with this blog that has nothing to offer on the side of what kind of work we're doing but rather how we're waiting. Waiting to one day unleash the creative powerhouse that is untapped in the lowest level of my house...

Apple Store is Down

new machines?

Setting Up the Studio

The studio, aka my basement, after 2.5 years of living in my home became something you might see on the A&E show Hoarders...



Apparently when you have a new kid and no desire to clean places you don't go in the house, stuff will magically build up there without slowing. Now after serious purging and a yard sale the space is pretty much ready for the final setup. The new printer is in, waiting on the new iMacs to drop to replace my broken PowerBook and iBook, and eventually I want to get a small TV down there as well.

I'll get some pics up soon of the progress.

Is this for real...

Yup, the first step in documenting the rise of a basement design group known as Face Punch Studio.

Let the journey begin...
