November in Oklahoma
Friday, November 21st, 2008
Work continues as normal. While I still feel the trip is challenging me in many aspects of my life, and encouraging me to grow in those areas, I do enjoy having the respite of sameness every once in a while.
I almost made it on to a team of volunteers who would be traveling over to New Orleans to help package up medical supplies, but it fell through because of my bad back. It would have been fun being able to visit a new state, but the twelve hour drive and potentially back-breaking work wouldn’t have been as entertaining.
The project I mentioned in my previous post has been released on the Web [persecution.com]. I used a great script called Lightbox Slideshow [justinbarkhuff.com] for this project.
I’m doing work in Flash now, which is both a great and, at times, frustrating process. Those projects will likely be released some time in January. I’ve got a video editing project that I might be doing next month, which sounds exciting: it too won’t be out until January.
Another project I was asked to help design was the volunteer page [persecution.com] for the company. I didn’t do much: I was given the text and some of the photos, but I did use my fisheye lens to take pictures of my apartment, and made the layout for the text and photos. Lightbox Slideshow was used for this project, too.
Today’s Image is an edited photo of the alley behind the building where I work. I changed many things about the photo, so the alley doesn’t look as depressing to the eye as it does in the photo.
Below are a few more photos that I’ve taken since I got here. Many of them I used for desktop wallpapers in my office, although not in the form I’m presenting here. Enjoy.

So, you work in the ‘hood’, huh? Very dark and rather depressing in the small picture! The VOM pages look really good too. How cool is it to have your apartment used in advertising, huh?
