Since is was Steve who turned me on to this whole blogging thing (and, for that matter, turned me on to this whole web design thing), it’s not without some sadness that I say so long his blog, sjarvis.com. On the other hand, I’m happy that Steve has now launched kudzudesign.com to maintain his design portfolio and advertise his consulting work.
I am in Little Rock, Arkansas right now at a conference for the Southwest Association of Student Sponsored Programs (SWASAP). I’ve been here since Friday doing a lot of videography and tech support work, so I’ve been offline more than usual (right now I’m at the a public library, killing a little time before heading out to grab some pizza with Benny a great friend and great graphic designer who lives here).
I was too busy packing last Thursday to send a shout out to my father, who turned 85 years old on November 7 (he was born in 1917, on the day of the Bolshevik Revolution). Most people my age (32) have parents in their 50s, but my father was in his 50s when he adopted me as an infant. I always feel the need to explain this, as most people assume my father is my grandfather (and, things being what they are, that’s a very logical assumption). Anyway, though pop gave up on media innovations about the time of the VCR, I’d still like to note his birthday here. It’s fitting as well that today is Veteran’s Day (though, to my Dad, it’s still Armistice Day).
