After a few busy weeks I’ve finished my finals and moved into a new apartment (if you can guess I’m not exactly built for moving furniture from one third floor apartment to another). It’s finally summer. But now that I’m finished I just want to get back to work. I suppose that’s just how I am, but fortunately I have a long list of summery projects.
I’m spending a chunk of my summer working at the MICA Pre-College program as a Teachers Assistant/Residence Counselor (TARC). I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my skills with a younger group of developing artists and show them around Baltimore. I’ll also be interning for the rest of the summer in a design studio in the harbor, which I’m sure will be a great experience as well.
One of the first things I’m working on is a re-design of my site. After many many iterations I eventually decided to just cut my site down to the essentials, making it as simple and functional as I could. Unfortunately it’s not very exciting. I’ve been working in web design and development for a while now, but still my abilities are increasing so fast that with every site I create the one before it, or even the one I just finished, looks like garbage. Fortunately the other site I’m finishing up still looks decent, so maybe I’m getting somewhere. My new site will have a more interesting, friendly design, some new features and more interactive toys, and a sprinkling of fancy Flash and JavaScript effects. I’ve got a few other web projects cued up, including a big site about Data Visualization, a couple of WordPress Themes, and hopefully some Flash games just for fun.
My friends and I also have long list of movies to watch, some new recipes to try (sushi & samosas! but not together), some vegetables to grow on our new deck. And of course some new art.
