- Some of the trees outside my house are hitting maximum Fall color awesomeness. #
- Pet peeve: people who only use social media when they believe it will benefit them, and expect immediate unicorn farts. Embrace or shun. #
- Sorry for all the YouTube spam, iPhone app synced with online account and went haywire. And not all are faves, either– just temp bookmarks. #

- Just found out I need to have a costume for my friend's Halloween party. I always choke when it comes to costumes. #
- Busted my butt last night to meet deadlines for clients, I heard back from none of them today. Grrr… #
- As always, great hanging out with @bgattozzi today. Talked about girls & goals more than we worked, but hey #
- RT @bobostromstudio: Just posted episode 7, An Interview with @CartooningPro) ….enjoy. http://bit.ly/BNcQk #
- RT @Vonster: @gcoghill interviewed me for @Go_Media — honest feedback about Ai features and my wishlist. http://tinyurl.com/gomedia #
- Oops, sorry for the YouTube spam. The faves on the iPhone just synced with my account. And not all are faves, most were just "bookmarked". #
- Seriously need to cut my hair before I head out next week. #
- I have a tough time getting work done in public places, probably because I don't do it it much… #
- Testing Tweetie2/Flickr service: http://gdzl.la/782ybw #

- Prime fall leaf colors right now. Cool. #fb #
- RT @jp_makeanimals: i just complimented me, then told me i was a big idiot behind my back #nationalbossday #selfemployeed #
- Wow, they tore down 2 blocks of housing/businesses around the corner from me for new bridge & I had no idea. #ripvanhermit #fb #
- Hmmm, my Apple mouse is acting weird still. Clicks aren't registering immediately or 'drop out'. Anyone else see this happen before? #
- Heading to meet @bgattozzi for some coffee, food and good news. #
- Someone needs to make Halloween "costumes" for avatar images. Those old-school crappy-rubber-band-in-the-back masks would do nicely. #
- So Twitterfeed now supports posting to Facebook, including Pages. Nice! Hoping things post as I expect. #
- Starting to feel the burn in my tricep from all this vectoring. Burn to earn, I guess. #
- Client wants this character to be right-facing. I'm so used to left-facing, this is kind of weird. #
- Got a decent amount of artwork done today. Still more to do tonight. I'd like to take a break but I'd probably drag my feet coming back. #
- Illustrators/artists: @ph7labs is launching a new publication, @colorvisionmag! Participate: http://bit.ly/2Uu6cE (via @chrisleavens) #
- Vectoring up some cartoon character variations for an existing client mascot I created recently. #
- Twitter Lists starting to get rolled out: http://is.gd/4lu5n – finally, groups in Tweetie. #
- The basic message of late-night commercials: getting old sucks. #
- Watching a UFO show—Bob Lazar: check; Nazca lines: check; Roswell: check; Area 51: check. #
- The boy who cried "helium". #balloonboy #
- I totally called Balloon Boy. He let that thing go and knew he was in big trouble. I don't blame him for hiding. #
- App Store: In-app purchase for free apps allows demo-to-paid http://is.gd/4lqa6 —excellent! Hope to see many more trial versions now. #
- I had every intention of attending @drsketchyakron tonight at the Akron Art Museum, but these deadlines have deemed otherwise. Darnit. in reply to drsketchyakron #
- Phone cord solved — brushes to the rescue! #
- Illustrator help: way to outline the stroke of a path that overlaps itself w/o having it combine? Think: phone cord (remember those?). #
- Just got some sad news. #
- That kid jumped out immediately and got scared that he was in trouble, hiding from his Dad. Hopefully. #
- Holy crap, the boy in balloon is going FAST! It's not going to end well. #fb #
- Is it even possible to hear Journey's "Anyway You Want It" and not immediately think of "Caddyshack"? #fb #
- OK, I take it back. Layer masks work properly, I should have been using an object mask for what I wanted to do. #
- Option-dragging *anything* with a clipping mask on a layer isn't thought out very well. Sigh. #
- Arrgghh. Option-dragging artboards+artwork in Ai CS4 when a clipping mask is involved was not thought out very well. #
- Kind of kicking myself for not thinking to place .ai iles into other .ai files as Smart Objects. I still think in "Ai 8" mode sometimes… #
- Since it's the season: remember that by the time the symptoms appear, the contaigious period is over. #
- It's interesting how spam can be recognized even in another language just by the structure of all caps and profuse exclamation points. #
- I think I am more just plain ol' wiped out rather than sick, but either way not feeling so hot—with many deadlines ahead. #
- Loving the spam reporting on the Twitter website. Hoping that gets added to the Mac Tweetie 2. #
- I'm sick of all the hype for Where the Wild Things Are. I think I'll go watch The Muppet Movie again instead. #
- Vectoring up the aviator bird cartoon character. Another late night. But it's art, so that's OK by me. #
- Of you haven't watched "The Future of Food", it's a must-see. Scary. Pesticide companies usurping our farming and patenting our food. #
- Eatin a late dinner once again. Think I'll watch "The Future of Food" while I do so. Probably not a good idea #
- Wondering if psychiatrists can figure you all out just from your grocery cart contents. — at Giant Eagle http://gowal.la/s/9tU #
- Red return mailer sending ones & zeros in the form of a documetary back to the source. — at Kent Post Office http://gowal.la/s/c24 #
- Dropping off a book. I'm smarter now! — at Kent Free Library http://gowal.la/s/b1V #
- I wish there was a Ps/Ai layer style that was a "Shading" style, and I could use same fill color and just drop shadows in. #
- Illustrators: if your photo on your website is on 1st page & bigger than any of your illustrations, yer doing it wrong. (via @robotjohnny) #
- Facebook is basically one giant, public e-mail FWD: that never ends. #
- Twitter vs. Facebook: on Twitter, you gotta *earn* your followers. #
- Elephant Man emoticon: ^(.*)$ #
- Very cool plugin for WordPress – lets Tweetie 2 post pics directly to your blog. http://bit.ly/1FWO0L (via @tweetie) #
- Anyone know how the control the placement of a new Apple Mail message window? Seem to open up in random places each time. Urgh. #
- It's funny how trendy indie bands sound indistinguishable from early early Who songs. #
- 'Crooner Cat' cartoon character design needs to be more Elvis, less Sinatra. Working on revised sketch now. #
- Putting the final touches on an aviator bird cartoon character sketch. #
- Man, today is an all-IM, all-the-time day. #
- I think my next down time project is to build the work shelf I've always envisioned for my Wacom. #
- Headband headphones for listening in bed etc.: @SleepPhones. (via @GrammarGirl) – neat idea! #
- Any followers out there that do basic Flash animation for cartoon characters? I get requests from time to time, need someone to work with. #
- Could have had revisions back to the client already if they just would have emailed me these edits instead of fussing with a phone call. #
- My mouse has been acting weird the past two days, overdue for a reboot. #
- WARNING: Do NOT click on DM's telling you to check out a video (It's a Twitter password Phishing scam). http://bit.ly/YrzBT #
- Big Twitter scam today. DO NOT "log in" to Twitter unless you check the URL so make sure you are at Twitter.com. http://bit.ly/1eeO3f #
- "I'm not trying to be a jerk…" — I guess you're just a natural. #
- Dead fly drawings http://bit.ly/hahvx (via @TheDonutProject) (via @danielcollins) #
- People who use email/IM just to set up phone calls about things that can be handled via email/IM are frustrating, to say the least. #
- Finally let a couple of domains—which I've been renewing but not using—expire. It was tough, I can be a digital packrat. #
- Does anyone actually use LinkedIn other than when they lose their job? #
- I think my arm pains are a direct result of my drawing posture using the Wacom. #
- Aha, Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome is what seems to be my pain, not Carpal tunnel. research needs done. #
- Yikes, Google ads on the search results pages are like 3x the size! #
- Going to finish up this 'thumbs up' sketch and call it a night. Drawing hands reminds me how much mine is hurting. #
- The pain in my elbow & hand say "stop", but the deadlines say "you're not going anywhere buddy". #
- Finished up a rooster cartoon character sketch, not even sure what I sketch I should start on next. Plus—hand cramping! #
- The rooster is one freak-tastic looking bird. #
- Finally got smart & added standard vector symbols into one file so I can open all as a library in Ai. #adobeillustrator #
- Just reminiscing back to the painful pre-OS X days where application launch order mattered. #
- I might be hooked on FlashForward. It's kind of cheesy, but I'm curious now. #fb #
- Hulu Desktop running on my tube TV via S-video looks pretty good. Impressed. 8 day delay on episodes sucks though. #
- Cool—never knew I could just copy/paste a path from Ps to Ai. Feel dumb for never trying it before. #
- Guess what? Your iPhone/iPod Touch has an FM radio in it. And Apple may let you use it soon. http://macmost.com/n-aadatufri (via @rosenz) #
- The Apple in-ear headphones are pretty good. Well worth $32 via eBay. Also, small enough to listen to with head on pillow, excellent! #
- Need to take a carpal tunnel break, too much nonstop drawing the past 24 hours. #
- A good friend of mine @HKMalarcik is now on Twitter. A marketing pro with a wicked sense of humor—follow her up! in reply to HKMalarcik #
- I don't believe good things come to those who wait. That's absurd. Good things come to those who make things happen. (via @HKMalarcik) #
- Working on revised avatar sketches. #
- RT @etherbrian: Am I to assume that a diamond cut into the shape of a dog is everybody's best friend? #
- Besides the basics—Inbox, Junk, Drafts, Sent—I just have a 'Done' folder and the rest sorted via Apple Mail Smart Mailboxes. #
- RT @danielcollins: The Anatomy of a Douchebag T-shirt. It’s funny because it’s true. http://ow.ly/ubud #
- Comedy flick satirizing pretentious artsy-fartsy types. The trailer is pretty funny: http://ow.ly/u641 (via @huyckd) #
- How 'bout those <random zoo animal>s? #fakinginterestinsports (via @etherbrian) #
- Client pattern: the more time I spend pre-project, the less likely the job will come though. Bulk of projects are w/clients that move quick. #
- Celebrities who always pine for anonymity should give back all the money and perks. Quit whining—you knew what you were in for. #
- How did the human body evolve with teeth needing brushing? Design flaw/FAIL. #

- Sketching a crooner cat cartoon character. Just finished an aviator bird character sketch. #
- Damn browser crash, hope WordPress saved the draft in time… #
- OK, Disqus kind of sucks. No way to contact most of the people who leave comments. I need email addresses at the least. Fail. #
- The Golden Rule is too vague, implies only being in effect when you 'do' things. There are also things one should avoid doing as well. #
- Crap, EyeTV recorded 'Heroes' instead of 'House'. Grrr. #
- Took a nap due to feeling like crap today, woke to massive headache. Ugh. Have to get more art created tonight nonetheless. #fb #
- Keebler's 'Wheatable' crackers are tasty! #fb #
- Web 2.0 Photoshop Layer Styles (free): http://is.gd/4fPbS #
- Deadlines don't give a crap if you're feeling well or not. #
- Wacom OS X 6.12 driver issue: assigning '5th click' to a stylus button doesn't work. Logged & fixing. 6+ weeks for new driver though. #
- Very impressed by the super-fast and über-helpful replies from @wacom support team on the new driver issue. #
- Grammar Nerd Corrective Label Pack http://j.mp/2l9LBm (via @wordnik) #
- Woke this morning feeling terrible. Went back to bed for a bit, still feel miserable. Ugh. #

- Back from Columbus, great time. Glad to be done driving! #fb #
- Reading Robert Anton Wilson Explains Everything. Starting "disc" 4 #
- Road trip gourmet meal: iced tea, beef jerky and a Hershey bar with almonds. #
- Getting gas and ready to hit 71 towards home. Great weekend in Columbus. #fb #
- Just found a $5 bill on hole 18 basket, and a driver disc on hole 19. #discgolf #
- Getting ready to head to Delaware State Park to check out a disc golf course I haven't yet been to & introduce a friend to the game. #
