New Company, New Office

I decided if I'm going to take the new company seriously, then I need a real home office. The little architecture drafting table from when we lived in the loft, just wasn't going to cut it. Nor was my 3 year old laptop (still a beautiful piece of machinery but just too slow for the stuff I was doing!) In the past week, and with the proceeds of my first big freelance project, I bought a new desktop computer (20" iMac G5 -- it's fast!), a new desk, a comfy chair, and a bunch of design software (that cost more than the computer, desk and chair combined!). Yippee (all tax deductible too!). In the meantime, I've signed a contract with Scott's company to redesign their web site. So business is booming... at least for now. I'm working hard, too, at continuously networking so that I have projects lined up down the road. Friends and family have been helping me by getting the word out and I really appreciate that. Thanks to all of you!

I set up my new computer yesterday and it has a built-in web cam and this funny photobooth software that allows to you to play with different effects. Scott, Emilie and I were cracking up while psoing for photos. The results were hilarious! I'll have to make sure I turn the effects of when I am video conferencing/chatting with people.
