So I thought about waiting until Wednesday’s Weekly Reader to post a link to this new series, but then I realized that I’m excited enough about this to warrant posting tonight. My good friend, Linden, just posted the first in a series of four posts on how to use Twitter in conjunction with Sarah of SarahJoAustin.com.

Think Green: Recycled Notebook
March 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments
It’s a bit of a Green Week around here so far. Now that certain people have received their birthday gifts in the mail, I can finally unveil a project I am really excited about: my recycled notebook/sketchbook. If you like what you see, we’ve featured this project in our on-going Unemployment Project of the Week […]

Think Green: Recycled Business Cards
March 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments
I’m planning a job-hunting trip to New York City later this week, and realized that I was lower on business cards than I thought I was. In a way, the timing is perfect as I’m in the process of updating my cards and printing them along with the cards I’m designing for several people who […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Twitter Edition
March 19th, 2009 · 3 Comments
I actually haven’t seen a lot in my feed-reader that I’ve been wanting to share lately. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to announce that I am now tweeting: you can follow me @LorraR. In honor of the occasion, I thought I’d share a few twitter-related links that I’ve been enjoying over […]

New Work: Clinical Trial Toolkit
March 16th, 2009 · No Comments
Whew! On Sunday, after a marathon 2 days, I finished photographing all of my missing work and uploading it to my Flickr page and AIGA profile. Of course, as I was uploading, I noticed that there are a few pieces I want to go back and reshoot. But for the most part it’s done, and […]

New Work Up on Flickr
March 13th, 2009 · No Comments
Whew! I just finished uploading some samples of my interactive work to the Flickr page including the above Desktop Wallpaper for the (TxT) Campaign. Once that was finished, I spent I don’t know how long trying to make Pictobrowser work on the Portfolio page here. After much frustration, I gave up and used FlickrSlider: it’s […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Blinded by Science
March 10th, 2009 · 11 Comments
As many of you know, I’m a (not-so-) reformed science nerd. (By the way, if you can name the song today’s title comes from, you win my eternal esteem.) As such, I’ve been both delighted and a tad bit perplexed by all of the Periodic Tables that keep popping up across my feed-reader (where do […]

Finished: My First Embroidered Tea Towel!
March 9th, 2009 · 7 Comments
At some point last month, I alluded to having had a very productive weekend and finishing up a few projects that had been languishing for months on end. Having finally uploaded the photos of one of those projects, I can now proudly unveil it! My first foray into embroidering:
When I made my Design Resolutions for the […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: The Unemployed Edition
March 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments
A friend of mine and I were talking the other day about how busy you suddenly get once you’ve been laid off. Seriously, where does the time go?? I feel like I’m busier now that I was when I was working full-time AND freelancing on the weekends. So it’s been really hard to adjust my […]

Guest Post on Stickers and Donuts: Unemployment
March 2nd, 2009 · No Comments
I just blogged today on S&D about all the things you can do while being unemployed. (Because without a job, there’s just tons of freetime…that’s a joke, son, a joke!) But seriously, building onto the Passions posts, unemployment is a great time to pick up some new hobbies/skills. These were just a few of the […]
