Working on an iMac

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Me at ABC EmbroiderySo I got hooked up with a workstation with a new iMac so I can do graphics work for ABC Embroidery. Still setting the computer up to meet all my requirements, but now I’m getting a lot of good hands-on experience with it — something that I never had the chance to do while working at Apple Store (ironic, ain’t it?).

So far, I’m annoyed by several counterintuitive things on Snow Leopard. Hopefully I’ll be able to work it all out before someone dies. The main one is: Illustrator CS4 doesn’t allow opening a file by drag-and-drop onto the application, but Photoshop CS4 does. To be fair, it’s probably an Adobe issue, not an OS issue, but regardless, it’s seriously fucking up my workflow.

My quest for a streamlined workflow continues.

Hellfire Wing Challenge at Smoke Eaters

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Last week I flew to San Fran to visit Connie for a few days and see the city. Never been there before. Best memory? Last Sunday, we drove down to Santa Clara to Smoke Eaters to do the Hellfire Challenge because I saw it on Man v. Food. The basic rules: you, a waiver, 12 wings in 10 minutes, no drinks or napkins, and a 5-minute waiting period after you finish.

It was definitely an experience! The wings came in a thick, gritty soup of hot sauce. First bite, windpipe became constricted. Not unbearably hot though. Oh, it burned, but I had more painful heat from a little green pepper my dad fed me a week earlier. The hot sauce burned everywhere — fingers, lips, cheeks, mouth, stomach, and (later) asshole. The wings were hard to swallow — I could only finish 3 in 10 minutes. Connie did 5! (more…)
