... that young assistant I'd like to have could... convert the CMP site to a 3-column layout for me (similar to this one), remove all the t-shirts from CafePress for now until I can take a look at the images again (not happy with the way the colors print), update the drop-down list of episodes on the CMP site (because the last one there is 35 and we're getting ready for #48), update the list of recent episodes that appears on this site (which is even farther behind), weed through all the voice clips I have for the show (catalogue them, name them appropriately, burn each to separate MP3s for easy insertion), back up my important files (business, financial, writing, designwork, art, etc) since I'm horribly behind in "backing up," and help me clear out my podsafe music folder and iPod (which is stuffed to the gills with podsafe music that I don't want or don't plan to play, but it's a pain to track it all back down and clear it out).... and that's just a start.
Done whining now. But, I am enjoying my vision of that young assistant who would, of course, be on an internship, so happy to help "for experience." My assistants-to-be may be close to the "clean out the pen jar" stage, but are a long ways from scanning, iTunes-ing, and HTML-ing.... although, who knows. I had planned to teach "tying shoes" this summer, but he picked it up right away after I showed him the other night.
I did take a walk around the block after dropping off the forgotten lunch and finding my pajama-duder in a rockin' karate-kid style headband that had his name on it (in Chinese characters?). A nice walk - chilly - but nice. Lots of fun things to play with in terms of photographs... even in a 12 minute jaunt. I'll upload over the weekend along with some photos I took this morning of art (the ATC kind) in progress.


What can I do? I can be an assistant from afar-- yes I'll have the summer off and although I have a lot planned I'd do anything to help my favorite podcaster :)
-- Silly, you can not help. You have to have a GREAT summer off - and produce lots of wonderful things to inspire us all!
