Well, predictably, it’s been a really exhausting week. Even if I wasn’t dealing with the whole resignation thing, there was still the art show in which I had my own section (I was also asked to be master of ceremonies, which means that I’ve emceed the expo every year I’ve been in the program, weeoo) and a driver’s license test, which I passed. And anybody who knows about me knows that any one of those things would be enough to exhaust me. But that’s all through now, and I’m starting to relax a bit. I’ve got a pretty decent idea of what directions I’ll be going in now.

1) Dairien asked me to partner up with him to start a design group to make a little money. After playing with the idea for a while and talking to him, this sounds good to me. We’re still thinking of a name. We want to have a green theme for this, which is nice because I’ve wanted to do something green for a while now. This will probably be done on a small scale for local businesses and stuff like that.

2) As far as my involvement in the FOSS community goes, Christopher has successfully convinced me to start a “vendor neutral art consortium.” The idea is that there will be a team of artists who help out free and open source projects that we like, and there’d also be a community built around our web site. Christopher wants me to be the lead (he’s exhausted too ya know, and he’s already pretty busy earning his PhD), but he’ll be around to give me advice and stuff. The scale on this will be large. I still need to pick a name and figure out exactly how I want to do this though. I have some ideas for names though already, but I want to run them by Chris. Yes, Chris, I know I’m the lead and you want me to start making decisions, but you still get to help name it since a lot of this was your idea. :D

3) A developer and a friend wants me to help them out with a linux (server as opposed to desktop) distribution’s artwork. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say who or what though (you know who you are, so I’ll leave it to you to decide how much you want to say, just post in the comments).

4) A different developer and friend wants me to help them out in the indefinite future with a linux (desktop as opposed to server) distribution’s artwork. (Same deal with you, leave a comment to give whatever details you’d like).

5) PolitySim. I really should get back to work on stuff for them. I was in the process of contributing a web design to them to help them get going, but then all the drama and the art show kinda took over. Sorry about that. :P

Ooof. Busy busy busy! I think I’m actually going to venture out of my house on my own in a bit to reward myself with some Taco Bell or something, heh heh! Heh! Heh. Heh… Kinda sad that I’m excited about going to Taco Bell, isn’t it? Ha. XD
