Well I still do graphics if anyone asks me to do them, currently working on Sassfashion.com. It is a jewelry company started by the love of my life Nicole!  I hope it is a successful venture so I can quit my job.

As for my careers after college I found little money in graphic design. I worked for a production company for about 8 months after college (which I never did finish). The pay was horrible and around $28000, Salary no overtime whatso-ever. A 45 Minute commute each way. Traffic BLEH!  Within this company I also had the opportunity to learn from an engineer more about electronics and how implementing the actual video and graphics was what actually paid the bills.  So I began going on installs and learned a great deal about wiring soldering and AV in general.  I then later after not receiving a Christmas bonus gave my 2 weeks a month later.  I hooked up with  a local AV integration company that offered me $38000 salary. Wooopy, I might just make some money this year!

Nah the market for huge TVs, sound systems, and bathroom mirrors that show the mourning forcast, dried up with the collapse of the extravagant housing market. I get laid off.  Sweet paid to look for a job.  Bam, Lucky I get one.
Now, I drive approximately 2 minutes to work, I get paid for every minute on the job, and time and a half for anything over 40, usually get paid for about 60 hours a week on average. I am now probably going to clear $68,000.  No one wants to work forever. I just wanted to work at a job that I would not become a blob in front of a computer, so that someone else can go on vacation for 25 weeks a year.  Or work for a wage I thought I deserved based on stats.  Or be trapped making a wage that will never let me save any money above my BILLS.
I understand we need to put our time in but jeez not me, not for that pay, no way!  And I think more young designers should be saying that, or you will be sitting 40 hours a week in front of someones computer for a lousy pay.  Get out there! and find something that helps you prosper as an individual.  It may not be design, it may not be more money but if it makes your quality of life better do it.  I did the commute. Do not do it.  If you love to design websites then do it, just don’t be taking advantage of…
Your computer, pens, paper, ink, and paint will be there when you get home.
What do I do now for work?

You may ask and I will post about my current job maybe next week.

I have come to realize that it would please me very much to have enough land to build a home off the grid.
With this property it would be possible to create an unlimited supply of solar power stored in the form of hydrogen. It is quite possible to run an automobile with the hydrogen made with the suns energy.

If you like watching your Ipod Video, own a Mac (or a friend does), and you like the movies you already own check out this. Its called Handbrake and it is an all-in-one decrypt, combine, and convert-to-MP4 tool that crunchesyour video into a compressed file ready to be loaded into your iTunes. Full-length movies are around 400-600 MB. You can get quite a few into your 30 GB video iPod. Yes!

With Plazes you can add your current location to applications like Skype, Google Earth, AIM, Wordpress and more. The Plazes website automatically detects your location and connects you to people and places nearby. The software is free and fun to play with in your spare time, could even be used to track employees, friends and/or co-workers. It automatically updates when changing locations, If say you go into a wireless network at a cyber cafe. Plazes is in its beta stages of development but still very much functional. The size and shape of the Plazes are changable to fit on your Myspace or website although it comes with limited color selection. Maybe that will change, or someone will find out a way to do so.
