Sporadic Randomness for 2008-04-22

• I am a huge dork. I did get out for a long walk to enjoy the nice weather, but then came back & reproduced my path on Google Earth. #
• Skitch (www.skitch.com) is so incredibly useful. Snapped pics of frames I want to fill then used Skitch to quickly annotate for planning. #
• @zzrgirl you better take that sign off your bike, you could get hurt. #
• It’s pretty bad when you’re only an hour into your day & you can already feel your head exploding. #
• Must look like I’m going to kill someone. People run away from me when I walk through the office. Must remain calm… Don’t want wrinkles.. #
• The weather is warm and I TOTALLY need a pedicure so that I can wear my cute sandals. #
• @zzrgirl omg I’m right there with ya on the weight thing. Had to buy a few new pieces of fat-wear just so I could go to work not in jeans. #
• Omfg! It is waaaaaay too hot in my office!! I need to hit the sketchy high pressure reset every 2 min to get coolish air from the AC #

After Midnight Again

I will never, ever manage to get back on a schedule where I can go to sleep at a normal hour and then get up for the gym in the morning. It’s after midnight again and we are still awake – Alex playing on his PS3 and I’m doing random crap on my computer.

I decided around 10:30pm that I’d finally print out a bunch of our wedding pictures and figure out where to hang them. Once I figured out where I wanted my groups of frames to be hung, I set to work in iPhoto flagging the pictures that I wanted to print – but found myself running back and forth to my frame groupings to try and figure out which picture I wanted where and in what size I’d have to print it. Then I remembered Skitch. I snapped pictures of the frame groupings I had laid out on the floor with my iPhone, imported them onto my iMac and opened them up with Skitch. In Skitch, I could very quickly and easily add text elements which could be changed, dragged around, and updated as I was working. Here’s an example:

OK, well, the example is kind of hard to see because I was working with a big image and reduced it for posting online and so my fonts look tiny. Anyway… Skitch totally made my little on the fly project easy and fun. Oh, and the interface can be pink (for girls) and the icon is this crazy little pink heart so I love it.
