My son has drawn some spaceships using photoshop and my wacom tablet. He is 6 and is well on his way to becoming a better artist than me.

I am really excited. I have just been offered a job to work at a television station over in Salt Lake City. I think this will be a great opportunity, and a good career move. My future bosses were really nice, and showed me around the facilities there. It will be a good change I think, but I will miss all my friends here at LetterPress. I will see how commuting to SLC from happy valley will work out. We want to stay here until kindergarten is done for our 5 year old, and then move down. I think I will be fine with the commute for 3 and a half months, but it will all depend on the TV station and if they say they really need me to move down there right away. We will see.

I will be a broadcast graphic designer there. My main task will be working on graphics for news stories, but as I get more experience I will help with other projects as they come up as well.

Next week on thursday, January 18th, myself, Jordan Leary, and Nate Greenwall will all be giving a seminar up on the campus of USU. The seminar will be for the graphic design students there, and we will be speaking about what we do at LetterPress Software.

To be honest, I am really nervous. I am not used to speaking to groups of people, let alone folks I think may even be better at what I do than I am. But what I am most worried about is my usual racing thoughts when I am the focus of attention of a large group of people. I am sure it will work out, and I will be prepared to go in a direction that will be beneficial to the students in attendance. Preparation is key.
