Survived Orientation

Last night I had orientation for school. I got to meet my Cohort for the next 18+ months. Seems like a pretty interesting group of people with pretty diverse backgrounds. One gentleman is the GM for the local Ambulance company, another guy works the master control room for the power company out here. We got one girl who is in human resources, another one who is in IT. We have a guy who is an ex-chef. The group is maybe 12 people at the most. Its going to be a fun time.

We also got all our books for the first class already. Luckily they just include the cost of books into the tuition and then give them to you at the beginning of the class. At the third class they will be giving us laptops, which are top of the line Lenovo Thinkpad R61’s that were specially customized for the school. Thank god they didn’t stick us with shitty Dell’s

some redesign updates

I have been toiling away trying to get my new custom theme finished before the February 5th deadline and so far it has not been going so great. I found a color scheme at kuler called Chemical Crime that I been trying to use for the color theme of the site. I am just trying to figure out the best way for what elements get styled with what color. I sort of have a very rough work in progress right now of what I did so far. I am not very happy with the way the background came out. However I am happy with the way the header is looking so far. I am trying to go with a Distressed look. I am getting kind of sick of all the glossy/shiny web 2.0 look and want to try something different.
