Now, I'm picking up that project again and I'm going to do the rest of the iLife family of applications. I started with iTunes's little brother GarageBand. http://blog.alyciashedd.com/2007/05/thing-week-3-garageband.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (LeeshaJoy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14219375.post-4459038186008871196Wed, 02 May 2007 21:11:00 +00002007-05-09T18:18:44.811-07:00thing a weekdrawings I heard the quoted statistic and the image practically drew itself.http://blog.alyciashedd.com/2007/05/thing-week-2-slow-and-steady.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (LeeshaJoy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14219375.post-3658543867524430858Mon, 23 Apr 2007 23:48:00 +00002007-05-09T18:19:14.051-07:00thing a weekmusicMy first thing-a-week is completed--two days early, no less! In the spirit of the periodic nature of the thing-a-week, I dusted off an idea that's been rattling around in my head for a while now. Ages ago, I got this little melody stuck in my head at work. When I went to transcribe it into GarageBand, I realized it was in 7/4 time, which is an interesting challenge to work with.

I've done a bit of art and writing for myself, but nothing publishable or even usable as a portfolio piece. I have this blog on my website that has gone unused for a ridiculously long time. I've found that I have trouble writing stuff down unless I give myself a http://blog.alyciashedd.com/2007/04/update-and-purpose.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (LeeshaJoy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14219375.post-116059152434610138Wed, 11 Oct 2006 18:21:00 +00002007-04-20T17:19:49.569-07:00site updatesCouple of things: I have designed and uploaded a new website, Mansion in the Mountains, intended to help sell a client's house.

I think that's what Mother Nature did this week. For the past several weeks, the weather has been cold, gray, and rainy. On Easter Sunday, I woke up to find two inches of snow on the ground. Now, a few days later, we have flawless blue skies, temperatures in the 60s and 70shttp://blog.alyciashedd.com/2006/04/mother-nature-pulls-all-nighter.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (LeeshaJoy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14219375.post-114316110510683943Fri, 24 Mar 2006 00:43:00 +00002006-03-23T16:55:59.693-08:00I just took a "Nerd, Geek, or Dork" online quiz, and came up with the following: Outcast Genius 65 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 60% Dork For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

Thus, I am putting up three pieces of art that were part of Christmas gifts to my friends and family: a greeting card, a CD label, and a custom sweatshirt logo. Enjoy. I have three New Year's resolutions for 2006:Get a full-time job and move into my own place.

It was a pattern of beeps repeating every three seconds or so: beep, beep... beep, beep... beep, beep... and so on. I was curious as to what it was, but since my mom and dad were both downstairs I figured they could take care of whatever was making the noise.

It's not terribly practical as a design portfolio, but it's a fun community and a nice place to show off my less "official" art pieces. Now, six months later, I find myself in possession of a 3-month subscription to deviantART, as the result of winning a fan club contest. I'm thrilled, naturally. I dunno if I'll renew the subscription when http://blog.alyciashedd.com/2005/12/i-am-deviantart-subscriberfor-now.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (LeeshaJoy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14219375.post-113002579343235722Sun, 23 Oct 2005 00:01:00 +00002007-04-20T17:21:55.878-07:00comics This is only a slight exaggeration.
