Rearranged the office.

I don’t know if its just me or designers in general, but I have a never ending urge for a change of scenery. And its since the office has looked the same since we moved in last year, I felt a change was due. Truth be told, I rearranged it a couple of weeks ago …

Dinosaurs museum with Lily

Took Lily to the Dinosaur Expo at the Columbia museum this past weekend. The expo was kinda small but it was still a lot of fun. The Pterodactyl with babies was her favorite.

After 3 months of neglect, the Corolla will finally have some work done to it. But not by me. LOL. She’ll be back in a few weeks. That’s all the info you get for now.

You can never have enough real estate.

Posted 16 Apr 2009 in Misc

Screen real estate that is.
Its been documented that I have a decent amount of computers and/or monitors, but believe it or not my setup still didn’t suite my needs. For the design work I do, I need as much desktop real estate I can get. It makes it much easier and even more productive to get things done. So when one of my favorite electronic retainers, Tiger Direct, had a sale on 25″ I-INC Monitors for only $200, I had no choice but to snag one.

But lets be honest, a 25″ monitor that only cost $200 is obviously not going to be of very good quality which I get into a little more later on in this post.

    I’ve been thinking about getting a better setup for my media. You, sir, have a really nice setup. I’m still using a macbook pro. That’s all I’ve got, but I make it work. :D

    Any qualms with it so far? That’s a deal if I ever saw one. 22″ widescreens are still like 220.00-260 range that I’ve found.

    So far so good. Although, when looking at a completely black image on the screen I can see shades of blue and green on the edges. It may be the Mini-DVI adapter Im using that is causing it. I opted for the cheap $15 one rather than the $25 Apple one. But, during normal viewing I can’t tell the difference.

    All in all, I like it. Definitely worth the money as long as you dont expect a high level of color accuracy.
