With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

If I have Dreamweaver and a basic coding background, how hard would it be for me to set up a website from scratch if i had a domain?

yea, I'm an architecture major, and do a lot of large scale printing to be mounted on boards to present designs. ID is sick for that. I have the CS4 Design Suite, and use just about everything in it except for Dreamweaver on a regular basis

So I was planning on moving to full-frame digital this summer, but things are conspiring against me.  I just found out for sure that I will have my summer job again, which means I can afford most anything I deem to be rad.  I have gotten a couple offers on my 40D (semi-solicited by myself) that may or may not work out.  I was looking at selling the 40D and a couple lenses I don't need anymore and moving to a used or refurbished 5D, but then I was in the used camera store today and saw....a 1Ds mkII for $2099.  I think I might lose my self-control and make myself happy soon, but I don't know which it will be with.  But I am trying to think this through a bit since both have pretty distinguished pros and cons (well, mostly pros on the 1D) and I am shooting 95% film for my final for the next few weeks.

Woke up this morning to a text.

"Adrian! Why am I wearing your clothes!? How did this happen?"

I replied, "I don't even know.."


That's how you know you had a fun night!

79 days of skiing so far this season. That just makes me super thankful and happy.

to do it properly you'll need to know html and css. possibly some php and javascript if you want dynamic features.

to use it as a wysiwyg editor, you need to know next to nothing.

but you've got to sit down and figure out what you need your site for. using a cms and teaching yourself css to create your own theme template is probably the best way to go

I went to a drag ball last night, and it was probably the most fun thing I have ever done in my life.  A hand-raise at the beginning showed that I was one of about 15 straight people in a crowd of 200 or so, and then men started dancing around in dresses...to amazing remixes of 80's pop songs.  So I grabbed a couple rum and cokes, and pretty soon convinced the male bartender that he should hold the coke on my next one.  I think that is when things went from normal funny to overwhelmingly brilliant.  That is also around the time one of my gay friends informed me that he was going to get me (hilarious) and I started parading around with the gf--as a team, we were able to work the majority of the female population there, although it was mostly just her.  I could write a novel about all the amazing things that went down last night, but I will just let your imagination run wild and you will probably not be far off the mark.  Even though I am not gay and don't have plans on turning that corner, I have diminished interest in dating and hanging out with straight people...they are just so mundane in comparison now.  Granted last night may have been a poor example, but still.

Got home last night from spring break, spent a week in Cozumel, Mexico. It was way less sketchy than I was expecting with all the recent drug cartel violence, (the police chief in Cancun was murdered about a month or so ago) but we had a great time. Got 6 dives in, saw a couple nurse sharks including a near 15 footer as well as lots of turtles and other cool things. Spent some quality time with my parents and younger brother, wish I could have stayed for another week but unfortunately its back to reality, more on that in the not stoked thread.

I've used Photoshop 7 for the last 3 years, but not in a photo-specific capacity, just really basic stuff using layers for marking up siteplans and aerials for work. I've used Illustrator a bit for laying out brochures (again for work) but would still consider myself a total noob. I plan on getting some photo specific books for Photoshop and doing a lot of reading in the next little while. The rest of the programs aren't of that much use to me right now, plus I don't have to time to learn them right now.

Oh and David, I hate you for getting 79 days in so far. I'm only at 33.

Holy shit, been watching a documentary on Discovery about a motorcycle fanatic with no engineering background that basically designed a revolutionary MOTO GP contender. The engine, transmission, suspension, frame, etc. are all new patents that the guy somehow came up with on his own. The company is actually based out of Portland, OR. There are some articles on the website, definitely worth checking out for any gearheads or engineering types.

You can graduate with honors,which means you have a consistent 3.5 GPA and a shitload of extra classes. Its really not worth it in the end.

So I was just eating dinner at a friend's house, and his father informed me that himself  and everyone in his prayer group have been thinking of me.  He said they would like me to stop by the church sometime so they can "rub my leg and speak in tongues" in the hopes of healing my knee.  I don't mean to offend anyone here who is more religiously inclined than myself, but the idea of a group of old people yelling jibberish and rubbing me seemed kind of funny.

My roommate drunkenly tried to steal booze from a homeless dude in LA a few months ago. It was really sketchy. He almost got stabbed, but I just felt bad for the homeless guy.

Working in a ski area in New Zealand?

It'll be cheap cause you get double your dollar. If you're applying for a job you'd have to really get your ass into gear though, applications close soon
