Desktop Publishing

Posted
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

I have been doing a lot of desktop publishing lately- Quark Xpress, Publisher, Photoshop for info graphics and the like. I’ve got to say it has been a nice change of pace from the normal coding sessions I have been doing the past few weeks. Once some of the stuff I have been working on is finalized I will add it to my Projects page. As much as I love coding, it’s been nice to do some design work lately. I can only take so many lines of PHP (and recently those lines have been hitting the thousands).

PS- Once I get time, I’ll be posting some of those projects too!

    Let’s set the stage. You want to take a trip to the Grand Canyon with your family of 4, but plane tickets cost $1000 each. Plus there’s the hotel for a week and food, not to mention other expenses. Instead, you decide to take a few extra days off work and drive there because it…

  • Favorites of 2023

    It’s time for my 15th annual Favorites post. It’s always fun reviewing my old favorites, seeing how the picks have evolved, and realizing how much more verbose I’ve gotten in describing them. One notable change — I’ve added “Video Game.” This might be ephemeral, as I don’t play video games SUPER often, but this year,…
