You're at a party and... May 21, 13, 9:33 p.m.

someone asks you:
"So, what do you do?"

What do you tell them? Does that answer vary depending on who is asking?

LA Life May 21, 13, 7:12 p.m.

So, in probably a little over a year the wife, kid and I will be upping sticks and moving to LA from the midwest, as the wife is going to work in production design for TV and possibly some movies, hooray.
I've only been to LA a couple of times about 10 years ago and the parts I saw were awful - I liked Venice, but the rest of the places I saw were crowded, run-down and entirely uninspiring.
Of course there's this great legend about the place, being genuinely cool and interesting and varied and diverse and laid back, only I've seen none of that. I know there are LA folks on here who love the place - what should I be looking forward to, considering I'm actually moving there from a conservative, cultural desert, but am actually a lefty, technohead vegan eurotrash type guy ?

starting a design business May 21, 13, 1:40 p.m.

Anyone got any tips or wisdom from doing this? I'm planning on incorporating a practice that will be about 50% internal product design/incubation and 50% consultation. Thought I'd ask as I'm sure more than a few of you have probably dove into this kind of thing dreaming of career independence.

Stag Do - London May 21, 13, 1:39 p.m.

Hi,

It's looking like I need to organise a stag do for a colleague next weekend.

It has to be in London for reasons I won't bother listing. He's a little bit goth/emo, so I'd love to force him to do some more "mainstream" stuff.

Has anyone gone to a good one in London? What did you do?

Any ideas for a rough itinerary, things to do? We're looking to kick off around 1pm.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Some years ago I proposed a hypothetical national murder day. This movie parallels the idea almost exactly. Common philosophy or what?

Server-side Video FX May 21, 13, 6:53 a.m.

Server side video effects.
Is this possible?

As example:
- User uploads video
- Server adds effect to video (e.g Cine Cam effect)
- User is presented with final effected video that could be downloaded or shared etc

If anyone has links to info about this kind of thing it'd be mucho appreciatedo.

I noticed the different "I" between the two sentences. I'd like to find out what font is the one with the serif "I".

Thanks locos.
