New Events Section

I just wanted to point out that we have a new events section of this blog- there are a couple of google calendars in there that you may want to be aware of. There are:

1) Events that CAN will be planning as a group

2) Events that are going on in Cincy, Columbus, and anywhere even remotely near here that we may not be going to as a group but that you still may want to check out anyway

3) A second calendar of the schedule of Life Drawing classes at the Manifest drawing studio, for those of you who need to do life drawing which is everyone ever. Also a link to their details.

Because these are nifty google calendars, if you use gmail you can integrate them with your own google calendar so they will automatically show up! As I add stuff it will automatically be added to yours too! We live in the future!

This technology is why my calendar is a stuffed mess because I know everything that is going on at all times.

Enjoy!

And in a project proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome at completing the project you are proposing and that you will not waste the money you're requesting. Before any money changes hands or work starts there needs to be a proposal at least. The proposal is like a contract, only it's more informal. I tend to use proposals, but if I were dealing with larger projects where my risk is greater I would use a contract. Contrac...

Adobe Creative Cloud Petition

The Cloud approacheth. Hey everyone! So we were talking about the Adobe Cloud changes that were coming up and we are going to put together some information in the hopes of basically petitioning Adobe to not suck. Since then I have found and signed this petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/adobe-systems-incorporated-eliminate-the-mandatory-creative-cloud-subscription-model It also has more information about it that I read first like faqs from adobe etc. I don't feel like just signing an online petition will necessarily do anything though, but it can't hurt. I also found his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/adobecreativecloud And I have also found some numbers: Basically, if you are someone who updates your software version every couple of years the cloud would be ok for you. If not, then it's a drain of money. If I had purchased cloud instead of the last version I purchased, I would have paid $4000 by now fo...
