OH GUYS GUESS WHAT fall grades have finally been posted and I got an A in Illustration!!!! I can admit I was very worried about it especially when I realized like 3 days before the last class that I never completed my 2 point perspective project, oops. So I ended with 3 As and 1 B (in English Comp)

To counteract this, I'm going to go buy a 42" HDTV tonight. Hopefully I will be able to get a new car within the next 6 months since the repo and my shitty credit were the only things keeping me from it.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
The original repo amount was $6k, I just settled for $2500. That's about 43% of the original amount. It was the fact that I agreed to pay it off within 30 days that got me the discount. I feel so proud of myself right now, and FutureSean will appreciate it when he's driving a brand new car come next Summer. :D

Gack. I lost a beautiful '62 T-Bird to repo that I still ended up paying for. Bleh. Doing the right thing, in spite of what it looks like others are getting away with, er, I mean, doing, is still the right thing. Good show.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Oh I have lots more after the repo, just not as large of amounts. $500 here, $300 there.. They just add up and make my credit absolute crap. I'm tired of getting rejected for things and being laughed out of dealerships. I would like to one day buy a house, and this is my first steps to cleaning up the financial mistakes of my 20's.

A great idea would be to not buy anything on credit ever again, so you'll never be in this situation and you'll get more for your $$.
- Dave Roth
I'll never be in this situation again regardless because I won't let it happen. Unfortunately credit is extremely important for buying cars, houses, etc. I need to clear mine and then get like an American Express card I can pay off in full every month to help boost it back up again.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
You only need credit if you're going to borrow money. Just stop borrowing money. Much simpler and way more satisfying.
- Dave Roth
Borrow money, like a Mortgage? These things are important. I will never have enough money to buy a house outright. Credit is necessary.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
A mortgage, sure, but that's it. Put 20% down on a 15-year fixed rate mortgage with a payment no more than 25% of your take-home pay. But you don't need a credit score to get a mortgage.
- Dave Roth
Congrats Sean!
- Andrizzle Gizzle
I don't think those figures are going to work for everyone, depending on where you live and the cost of houses.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Also Dave other things rely on credit, like Cell phone contracts and the like. Not everything uses credit, but they use it to verify you are responsible.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Fix to this issue. Use someone else's SS#.. Just need to go to the local telephone companies dumpster. You will probably find tons of them.
- CW™
Dave, like Sean said, other things take credit. Most landlords check credit when you rent an apartment.
- Rochelle
LOL, except there's a good chance that whoever's SS# that is may even have worse credit.
- Victor Ganata
I'm not saying that having good credit doesn't make life easier, but there are ways to get things done with no credit score, which is my ultimate goal.
- Dave Roth
Yeah thats the gamble you have to take, but Good News everyone.. there are more for you to try. :)
- CW™
Dave, I was responding to your comment of "You only need credit if you're going to borrow money" and pointing out that there are situations where you may need credit but aren't borrowing money (like renting an apartment).

financing a new car is the biggest scam going. the interest isn't tax deductible and you're upside down on it pretty much from day 1 if you fully finance it.
- Bill Kinney
Must be nice to live in a world where people can buy a brand-new car with cash and pull a 20% down payment right out of their butts. I'm in California, y'all. I make just under six figures a year, and I rent my home with a roommate. By the time I'm able to pay for a car with cash and cull a 20% dp on a home, I'll be 60. No thx, I'll stick to financing and paying out a bit more in the long run.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I'd never buy a new car. Not until I have a $1,000,000 net worth, anyway. The depreciation hit is too significant.
- Dave Roth
I'm still driving the car I bought brand-new in 1984, and still getting +31 MPG. No payments, cheap insurance, and being a diesel, low maintenance and (usually) cheaper fuel.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
I've never bought a new car with cash. Only 5+ year old used cars. the lack of a payment allows me to save money to buy another car down the road. my wife and I are slightly above average income for our area. Realize that regional difference make this more difficult but it is possible. It's very liberating to not have a car payment. do have a mortgage though, that I can't escape yet.

- Kenton
Kenton, when my sour cream gets "chunky" ...as much as I like sour cream, I give in and toss that thing out! ;) O, you mean applesauce. Well, I'm going to find that out soon as I made some and I am going to make some latkes soon (after finals) so I can try them with applesauce on top. One thing I do like to add to my recipe is either finely chopped cooked chicken livers or whatever's left of the turkey giblet gravy along with some minced onions and that kinda makes me want to grab for the sour cream.
- Melanie Reed
@Kevin, I agree with Andrew and Anika, there is no "or" when talking sour cream & apple sauce for latkes. Regarding katchup, that would turn a otherwise tasty latke into a cheap diner hash brown.
- Ragani Harris
Actually Melanie, I meant the Latkas. Some people use shredded potatoes, some cubed, some mashed.
- Kenton
Kenton, Ah! even better! :) You have hit upon something I, too, care about in my latkes: texture. And I confess (though I have made the shredded) that I very much prefer to use mashed. This is how my father taught me.
- Melanie Reed
It was a trick question.
- Kevin Fox
Melanie, I am not Jewish but my wife is. Having not grown up with Latkas, I don't have the same attachment to them as people who grew up with them. I tend to prefer the shredded ones though, they don't get mushy like the mashed ones can.

etsy is like the worst site for graphic designers, if you want to make money it is pretty much impossible. I mean strictly if you are selling services, people who design greeting cards and invitations can still do pretty well. But like logos go for $4-7 each, banners are the same price, it is really ridiculous.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
It's those people who devalue work that make it harder for the rest of us. We have it in our business too. Where people tell their project manager, "My husband/son/nephew knows Photoshop. He'll do it for $90." They go with that person and then 6 mos. later we're asked to fix it. Some of the stuff we've gotten to correct should go on that Photoshop Fail site. It's atrocious. But you get what you pay for.
- Admiral Anika
I was doing a website for someone a long time ago and while I undervalued my work (shame) I still asked for enough money to be able to eat - anyway like 2 weeks before the site was supposed to launch she told me she found someone cheaper and faster to do the it instead and refused to pay for the work I had already done. She ended up coming back a year later asking for my help and I was like, uh hell no.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Craigslist is also bad for this as well, since most of the times the experience they're looking for never matches what they're willing to pay. And if you're a writer? Forget about any kind of monetary compensation. There is some consolation in that you get what you pay for, but it's not much.
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
I know, I love CL and their whole like "you'd get experience and exposure for doing it! and also some future paying gigs maybe!"
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Just interviewed for a writing gig where it was no pay and since it was a bunch of writers being pooled together on a project, no real credit either. PASS. Credit is the only thing a beginning writer has to gain exposure.
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
The sad thing is that these people seem to have no trouble finding someone willing to work for free or a fraction of the real worth, so ridiculous.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
I wish there were a way to conveniently get rid of these people who devalue the work we can do. You know, like...make them disappear for the sake of the economy. :D
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
So, if I want graphic design work done, where should I go and what should I expect to pay? And if there's so many talented graphic designers on FreindFeed, why don't I ever see them asking for my business?
- Christopher Harley
It's not the people undervaluing work that is the problem. It's the people willing to use them that's the issue.
- Alex Scoble
I think it's both - people wouldn't expect a logo to cost $20 if there weren't people out there charging $20 for a logo.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
People who know what a logo costs would never pay $20 for one. The days of Nike getting their logo for $50 are long gone.
- Alex Scoble
I agree Alex. The easy availability of the tools will get a bunch of people to try it (design, photography etc...) The real professionals carve out their niche easy enough with talent.
- SAM
No, it's definitely people starting up businesses that are doomed to fail that are looking for people to make logos using word, people who value design are always willing to pay for it.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
And more people want logos... folks are branding everything these days. With 1,000's of logos being created, quality and price went down significantly. A "real" logo will still cost you.
- SAM
Agreed.
- SAM
The other problem is that there are a lot of people who think they have talent who don't.
- Alex Scoble
I personally would not be competing with someone who charges $20 and I would not be going for customers who only want to pay that.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Damn Alex I'm still in the room ;(
- Andrizzle Gizzle
HELLO! I have a business. I want some work done!
- Christopher Harley
I can make you a logo but it is going to cost you at least $15 and some free coffee.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Now there's the big issue flooding the graphic design market... loads of people trying it, with loads of people thinking they need it (when they really don't which is why they want it for nearly free, it has no value to them.)

- Admiral Anika
Well, I couldn't do any sort of graphic project if I wanted, considering I don't have any programs at the moment. I was just noting that the undervalue that goes on for graphic work is almost parallel to the undervalue that goes on for writers.

- Christopher Harley
THIS IS A BUSINESSMAN----->
- Christopher Harley
So, here's an experience from the other side for perspective. A few months ago I worked with a graphic designer to design a logo for a project I am working on because I was having a creative block. I paid a respectable amount of money (around $1K) for two rounds (4 initial designs and 1 followup/refinement). I filled out a creative brief with a lot of information and our goals and...
more...
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I guess the real moral to that story is that since the value of the result is completely unknown (will you like it AT ALL? Will they even come close to your goals with it?), it's hard to justify shelling out a lot of money and take the risk, even on people that you like their other work. Much easier to buy something you know the value of beforehand.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Point taken, Lindsay. "It's a lot easier to gamble with $20 and be disappointed than $1K or more."
- Christopher Harley
Creative work is hard to sell... it just depends on so many subjective factors.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Christopher, what is it you need done? I don't do much graphic design work anymore , but I've got logo design chops in addition to my web development and design skills.

I went to the store and after waiting for like 8 years to get through the checkout line I realized that I didn't have my cards with me and couldn't pay. But then I came back after I got them! And I bought a mop! Fascinating stuff.

I'm always open to testing new PM hosted services. Currently very happy with clockingit.com which is a free hosted service or you can run your own. Can you tell us what compelling features made you choose unfuddle?
- Mark Krynsky
Cool... I am a Project Manager and would *love* to get your feedback on this app.
- Susan Beebe
I haven't project managed a software project in years. Any suggestions for current favorite apps? Or weblinks to pros/cons of different systems?
- Mitchell Tsai
Mark I listed the features in my original post, but it's not just about features, there are many other factors that influenced our decision to use it, too many to list here. That's what demos are for and Unfuddle as a free one, so check it out.
- Scott Beale
See you made your decision but we use (and like) TeamworkPM.net. For nonprofits, Huddle offers a nice premium program for free.
- Peter A. Mello
I use http://Atlassian.com 's JIRA and Confluence (integrated apps for issues, bugs, SVN repo, Wiki, etc.). Also used eProject (now owned by http://Daptiv.com). I was looking at using Trac too
- Susan Beebe
did you concider assembla? It seems even more feature rich.
- Lloyd Budd
neato will add to my list http://slashpd.blogspot.com/2008...
- Peter Dawson
Lloyd, haven't heard of Assembla before, it looks really good as well, but appears to be more geared for software development.

still enjoying unfuddle?

My favorite design company (that is not mine) worked on their branding. I LOVE their look.

I hope it tastes as good as it looks! The menu is funny, one for cookies was like, "they has pecans and walnuts peeps with the nut allergies might want to know that"

I found out today that NO ONE has gotten the illustration certificate that my school offers. BECAUSE (dun dun dun) they have never offered one of the required classes at either campus. WHAT

What Lindsay said. What??
- Kamilah Gill
I know. I talked to my illustration teacher about it - Illustrative Techniques 2 has never had 9 students it requires to be made a class, so they've never taught it. She finally got enough students for it for this semester, but since the full time professor who also (theoretically) teachers it didn't get enough, he is taking over her class. Well, most people who signed up to take it signed up because she was the teacher, and dropped it when it was taken from her. So it's not going to be a class, again.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
That's pretext enough for a refund, is it not?
- Christopher Harley
I think that /should/ get them in certification trouble with their state, should anyone complain. I think they're required to offer some sort of equivalency credits from another class if they can't meet their own requirements.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yeah, at this point it doesn't affect me but I am hoping they can pull it together soon. I was thinking about writing the department head asking for confirmation that what I was told was accurate. They shouldn't even advertise the certificate if it is not possible to complete it. The classes it uses though are completely outside the normal degree program.

Ha ha fuuuck.
