UPDATE: Alert!
It has been brought to my attention that the majority of viewers this month are coming on down from my lil’ old LinkedIn profile.Welcome, potential employers! As you can probably tell, this place needs a little tidying up, as of late. And yes, there is personal stuff on here as well, but I’d hope that those personal little prejudices won’t get in the way of great evaluations. (Seriously, even Trans-girls need to eat.)
If you’d like to see a more organized portfolio of work, please visit www.flickr.com/rarmedia
Here it is! While I build the fancy lil’ flash player here is a flickr stream of this year’s choice pickings to be tossed away as I consolidate the warehouse that has become my art closet.
This year I took a go at live blogging things this year as I perused through the endless piles of stuff. You can follow back on the old twitter feed. Y’all know there’s a twitter feed, right? Also, I think I finally solved the RSS problem but any who subscribed to the old feed will have to re-subscribe as I, boneheaded as I am, erased the previous google feed without getting all the data transferred.
Oh and for all you Facebook devotees, extra photos from my twitter trip to MCA Chicago are up as well.

Take Me “Out” to The Movies
Saturday, February 6th, 2010
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying to get my magazine developer’s brain around Adobe After Effects. As the web becomes more and more of a video-based platform, publishing has been abandoning well-researched written presentations for quick video tid-bits. Since I has a face for radio, it is time to leave journalism to just the pretty people.
Anyway, I’ve found a lot of cool uses of after effects to bring Illustrative design elements to title sequences.

My Current Lack of Subtlety
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
Hello all. I’ve mentioned this before, but for the past two-and-a-half years I’ve been looking for a new job and a fresh start only to be thwarted by my previous existence through either an interviewer’s inductive reasoning or just the name incongruity on a background check.
The resume background check is probably the most infuriating as it sets us up as deceivers, and consequently unworthy of employment, from the shear fact that we can’t afford to jump through the arbitrary hoops to begin with. Add to that the particulars of being in the media industry in this technological age and stealth been a complete impossibility.
