My Career Illustrated in Business Cards

pixelpunk — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 23:41:54 +0000

I’m moving to Baton Rouge soon, and in the purging and packing process, I found business cards for almost every job I’ve ever held as a professional designer and marketer. The only one I’m missing in all of 20 years is St. John Fisher College (not even sure the “webmaster” even had business cards at Fisher). I thought this was a fun alternative look at my “resume” over the years.

Top-10 Reasons I Love Being a Freelance Designer

I wake up when I am finished being tired. I no longer set the alarm clock.
It only takes me 60 seconds to get to work. No traffic stress.
Showering and shaving is optional before noon on most days.
The dress code: Bunny slippers, comfy t-shirt, and flannel jammy-pants.
The owner is very nice.
I choose who I want to do business with. I like working with nice people.
I can work at the boathouse, or where ever else I want. France, sounds nice.
I now have a very flexible and very liberal expense account.
Generating a good income no longer weighs on my mind. I simply make as much, or as less, as I want. Eliminating that stress from my life was worth the leap in-and-of itself.
Tons of Fun. I get to *do* and learn about new cool stuff everyday.

WordPress For iPhone

I am writing this post on my iPhone using the WordPress app I just downloaded. So far I give it an A+. It was super easy to set up, has a very intuitive interface, and it supports uploading of photos directly from your phone. It does a great preview of your post and has a horizontal keyboard for easy typing. Another cool thing, I received a phone call as I was typing this post and the app was smart enough to save it as a draft so I didn’t lose any work during the interruption. Wicked cool.

It’s refreshing to find a company who knows how to have fun. I snapped this screenshot on my iPhone while visiting MakeFive.com. I created my pixelpunk profile immediately after enjoying a nice ham sandwich. The world has enough safe and boring companies…go sign up for a free account at MakeFive and show the world that not everything needs to go through freakin’ legal, first.

I will never be geeky enough to understand this post from Kris Jordan.

Edit: Guess it was just a momentary glitch. I get it now. Worth a read and then some.
