Grandpa Johnson - This one is for you...

Apparently my grandfather ran across this blog the other day and was impressed. I'd actually forgotten that I even had this blog.

So, here's to you!

Waiting for Art...

Well, I’m on my break between English and Art. I have been sort of out of it today and I don’t know quite why. I talked on Y! Messenger for a bit and have checked my email. I listened to some music on iTunes as well.
anyway.... l8r, Chris

Addendum: I was quite frustrated that I was taking a college class in graphic design and one of the things which we were being taught was how to use a mouse. Seriously?! If you take a college class in graphic design, as your desired degree requires, then if you don't know how to use a mouse, you should have to take remedial classes, keeping the people who will end up using their talents in the professions that would follow such an education.

So Far So Good...

Well, I just had my lunch during my break after my first two classes here on my first day at Penn Valley. I’m in the library right now and I’m loving this. I’m really excited now. My speech class went well and so did my English class. I like both of my teachers and think I’ll do alright. I was a little worried about the amount of work that I’ll have to do but I think that it will be do-able. I’ve got my art fundamentals class next followed by my computers in design class. They are in the same building so that’s nice.

At any rate, I’ll write another post when I’m done for the day.

My New MacBook

So, I got a new MacBook almost a week ago and I’m really loving it. I previously had an iBook G4 with Tiger (OS X 10.4) but this is an Intel Core Duo 2.2GHz with a 13” display, 2GB of RAM, 120GB Hard Drive that is equipped with a SuperDrive (DVD-R/RW). I have yet to finish transferring much of my data from my external hard drive but will do so as I get more into using my MacBook.

Friendly Neighborhood Who?

So, here is a new post from your one and only friendly neighborhood, Chris Johnson. I finally got a new laptop... I got a MacBook and I’m loving it.

I’m starting school tomorrow and I’m very excited but a little nervous about whether I’ll be able to keep up. I have to keep reminding myself to just take things one step at a time.

anyway, I’m about to call my dad on ichat and talk with him for a few...

A Quick Comment Regarding Microsoft...

It seems to me, and this is only my own speculative opinion and
nothing more but, when Bill Gates left Microsoft in April of 2006, I
laughed. I thought and told others, "...when the lead software
developer (who happened to found the company as well) decides to bail
out of the company, that's a bad sign for the future of the business..."

I still sort of feel the same way, despite the information that I've
come across since then but anyway...

Recently I got a job working as a web-designer/graphic artist for a Kansas City based publishing company. I'm really excited to have the opportunity I have with this company. I went to price hardware/software that I suggested that the company invest in to increase our abilities to do almost all of our media production in-house, rather than out-sourcing the work.
