My Web projects and Job inquiries on this, the 20th anniversary of my marriage to Janet.
I have begun a small Website project for a member of the Church we've been attending. She has published a book, and I'm going to spend some hours doing a website for her ($200). It's a cheap price, but it will help me to have something else for my "portfolio".
There's a "logo design" project for which I am still awaiting a specific concept. I got the money from the funding source on Saturday, and I'll now have to call and ask when we get started on this. I last heard from her about a month ago.
There's also a small $100 project for a friend who is working on setting up some documents to produce e-books, from Word to Pagemaker 6.5 (we begin with his upgrading to 7.0 to get the ebook export feature that tags the PDF so that PDAs display columns in a readable manner (usually meaning displaying "columns" written for Desktop browser displays in consecutive rows on the small PDA screen).
Maybe in the next week or so, I may take a trip up to Cincinnati if a meeting can be set up with a sufficient number of possible backers of the kind of Web visions I have (involving weblogging as n ingredient of "A Great Good Place in Cyberspcae" kin dof idea that is a significant visionary thing at Old St.George). They have a Website for which I have long desired to be a paid developer and designer (functional design, a nd some graphic design as my skills grow in that arena). I had been offered the possibility of a small stipend for making the trip and spending a little time talking with them.
I also hope to contact some folks with the CBF about their Web needs and possibly looking at "Blogging the Assembly" that's happening in Charlotte June 24-26, and several of its seminars.
Perhaps during a Cincinnati visit, a trip up to Dayton to visit and see what might be possible in conjunction with United and the MARC program (The "Masters of Arts in Religious Communication" program I finished in 1991)
All of this is part of and related to, an obsession I seem to be having with a thing I can only call my Field of Dreams vision for a "Road Trip" idea that has gotten into my head. Read about it in The 'Field of Dreams' Roadtrip
