Replace Technology with Topic.

So recently, I signed up on Designologue.com to get a bit more involved as a designer. This being the more self-exploratory type. There are some very good designers on this site. I am actually quite impressed with Lincoln (probably one of the best ’loguers on the site).

There is a level of intimidation on this site that I can’t describe. These guys are good. However, I feel it is that fear that could help me become a better designer. Not that I am out to impress them, but that I will certainly do my best not to look like a total fool when I ’loguing with someone. And with every response, I could only learn, right?

All I gotta do to start, now, is to do a “one-off” designologue. I’ll take my time.

Elsewhere, I bought a scanner at the Apple Store. It is a CanoScan LiDE 80. Is nice. My first scanner. Only one problem — the software for it runs only in Classic. That’s OS 9. OS 9?!?! Apple is about to release OS X.4, the fourth version of OS X. FOURTH!!! And Canon is making products that only run in OS 9? Now, I think that the scanner is great. It scans. That’s what I want it to do. It was under $200. That’s about as much as I wanted to pay. But the whole having to run Classic just irritates me. Step up Canon… get with the times.

*sigh* SPeCks. Ok… they haven’t been squished, but I am just not into them right now. I don’t feel very comical and it is hard for me to generate the story right now. Writer’s block, maybe? I dunno. So… you’ll get ’em when you get ’em. I have the first page scripted for Issue 3, but am going to sit on it until I finish the next two.

Now, about that “one-off”…
