Moving to LA Jul 30, 09, 1:26 p.m.

Without getting into a lot of detail or anything, I'm finding myself moving to LA within the next few months.

From the look of things, I want to live over on the West-side, preferably in a loft or a cool house/bungalow/guest house. Only thing is, my limit for rent is $1600 right now, until I can sell my place here in Minneapolis (of which I will be renting out for the next year or so.) Street parking is fine too, as long as it's a a good neighborhood.

Any of you have recommendations?

Dublin, Ireland Mar 15, 09, 7:01 p.m.

I'm entertaining the idea of planning a trip to Dublin in early June. I know fuck-all about the country other than 3/4 of all US citizens claim to be Irish so they can get wasted w/o question.

Any places I should know about? Experience?

Online Framing? Aug 21, 08, 10:59 a.m.

Old Mac - Return from Dead? Jun 29, 08, 3:47 p.m.

I have a spare G5 tower laying around my place - it's cheese grater face is just staring at me, asking, "why won't you use me - you did spend $2400 on me three years ago!" It's complicated.

Anyways, just curious as to what some of you use old Macs for - space heater? File server? Media server? Uhh, display? I was originally thinking of selling the G5 off, but I feel like it should be good for.... something.

Salaries May 3, 08, 11:21 a.m.

This has been done a thousand times already, but whatever. This is the end-all thread.

So, I have a potential new offer floating my way for a Senior Designer position at a very prominent interactive firm opening up a shop in the Midwest - they're large and have a international client base if that matters.

Anyhow, I've been looking around to see what sort of salary figure I can throw them via http://designsalaries.org/ but I was just curious how accurate/real those numbers are? According to that site I should be asking for $60k/year.

I have 5 years in the agency world, have lots of experience in AS2/3 and have been dabbling with Papervision.

Does anyone own/actually use these?

I've tossed around the idea of picking one up, but I don't know if it's justifiable.

Simple CMS? Feb 16, 06, 6 p.m.

Portable Drive Sep 7, 06, 11:48 a.m.

Any recommendations? I'm looking for something sub $100 and powered through USB or Firewire.
