Do Canadians Like America? Jan 23, 08, 9:08 a.m.

I ask this question because, I got an earful recently from a good friend from Canada. I thought we were more connected, clearly he didn't. I'd like to know from you Canadians out there the unbiased point of view of what Canadians think of America. Please don't turn this into a rant.

Please day can you end faster. Sep 19, 08, 12:24 p.m.

How does one avoid clients from hell? May 5, 08, 8:49 a.m.

Ok so as I ran into possibly one of worst clients recently I'd love to know how people avoid clients from hell. More importantly do people make a check list to protect themselves from... the miner's , the "I only work with spec-artists", I have two guys who could do this "in 24 hours" the "I don't really believe in 50% upfront so I am not going to hand this check until the very last possible moment and why haven't you started on my work" into you types?

I guess a bit of business education could have gone along way for me back in college but it seems I keep running into people who just don't get it, and it might possibly be me. But at the end of the day my question is how to find good clients. Who understand schedule, budget and ethics. I'd love to know if people have a checklist of things they try to make sure of before going any further... and if you do please post.

Mighty Mac mouses breaking left and right? anyone else? Feb 25, 09, 8:34 p.m.

Alright, I dunno if its just me but in the past year I've broken the springs on 3 mighty mac mouses in probably 1-6 months of using each one. Anyone else have a similar issue you know the mouse's their the white ones that look sleek. What I find happens is the spring sticks on the top right of each mouse that broke so you click and it continues to click a million times uncontrollably. Just curious if this happened to anyone else other than myself.

So close to reality... agencylife May 7, 08, 2:13 p.m.

Going Freelance Full Time Dec 18, 08, 10:37 a.m.

As with many of you recently in these tough economic times I was let go from my full time position due to economic hardships and due to a ruthless economy that has affected many American’s.

Ironically that being said my girlfriend’s horoscope today was:

“Today is a very good day for you to initiate any new thing, from a new book to a new job to a new relationship. Possibility is a profound thing for you right now, and nothing will excite you more than a blank canvas upon which you can draw anything you like. Your creativity is leading you to act in unexpected ways, but the people you meet today will find your unpredictability charming and unique. You are out to impress, and you are likely to succeed quickly.”

And with that charming bit of reading, I introduce to all of you it’s time for us to create our own studio.

Letting where'd it come from? Jul 28, 08, 11:15 a.m.

Alright here's a silly question. Where'd the term letting come from? I can't seem to wiki it. I know where kerning came from type setting and all but if anyone has a proper definition of it I'd love to find out where it came from.

Why are there so few USB mac wireless sticks that are from legit companies? Jul 30, 09, 4:13 p.m.

I just don't understand why Wireless-N is so un-supported by standard networking companies. Netgear, Belkin, Linksys none of them have a mac usb wireless-n stick in stores right now. It sucks but I had to go out on a limb and purchase a 3rd party networking device from afterthemac.com to set up our studio/home network because I didn't install a wireless card originally in one of the towers. I'll post how that brand works out.

On a side note I got one of those terabyte mac router/airport/server... pretty slick.

Idea for major cities... Feb 14, 09, 11:53 a.m.

Ok just watching this tv show about Paris and how JCdeceaux upkeeps their velib cheap bike systems in return for advertising space throughout cities... I wonder if something like that should be made for major cities atleast in the warmer climates of america.

Anyone else thing getty killed istock? Jul 25, 08, 11:39 a.m.

Anyone else agree that istock has become too costly for its members and getty went over board and made it really expensive? If I was a photographer I'd be kinda upset at the rates too.. Istock used to be the lower end now its trying to make itself the bridge between getty and the lower end. I will still use it for vector but even that is becoming too expensive..
