satorimedia

Ah, the sweet, sweet feeling of the final upload of a project to the printer, washing my hands and knowing it is done, done, DONE! Nothing left but to bill the client for the final part of the job, and add it to the portfolio.

The project (a calendar for Wisconsin Property Management) is going to have 2000 copies made and distributed throughout the properties they manage. I'm looking forward to the day I run into one somewhere I'm not expecting it - to see something useful to someone else all year, and know that "I made this," -- that's a really good feeling.

I think I've finally found a couple of nice uses for Twitter. Now, mind you, I am an addicted user. I have the messages sent to my phone, I have it on my desktop all day...I'm way into the microblogging world (hmmm...wonder when Izea will do "Pay-per-tweet"?). However, it is an addiction; I usually tell people to save themselves if they can avoid it).

Slowly, slowly we turn...inch by inch...

I am not tackling the drupalization of satorimedia with the normal hell-bent-for-leather approach that I usually apply to my client's work. Instead, I'm sort of easing into it, setting small goals for myself (such as today's, implementing the site logo and favicon and name of the site) and just letting myself grow into it.

This is the first node.

I chose Drupal for the basis of my new, relaunched satorimedia LLC website because....well, ok, because my former employer is about to change all of their content to Drupal, and I figured if there's any hope of me getting contract work, I'd better get a leg up.

Right now, though, it's not so much a technical challenge as an artistic one. I have no idea how to format text; none of the usual "i" or "em" tags are sure to work, which means I must rely on good old-fashioned prose to write something interesting.

Not sure if I succeeded. But it's something.
