This post is from my "work" computer while waiting for work at work. I am trying to use my "downtime" better, so why not the forums!
I am a graphic designer in Rochester, NY where there are multiple schools that pump GD's out quarterly. The design market is tight and I have no desire to stay in it. I had tried my hand at Timberframing, which was interesting, but got laid-off.. twice...
i saw it coming so I have compiled a list of stuff I'd like to do, ideas to develop and stuff that needed to be done. From there I organized it and looked for the one idea that could give me the best ROI. I started tinkering with doing freelance stuff, but my customer base was/is nil and I needed a severe software and hardware update, approx $5K.
I didn't/don't have that, but in the meantime had the idea of VideoandResume.com and started the process this past January of building it. I have been doing contract pixel pushing since November, so that has eaten a ton of time. I see the potential and feel it meets CENTS criteria, so now I am working on moving things ahead. NOt quite the desert of desertion, but in a gap of Slowlane work and covering the bills and working on the business full time, or part-time effectively.
I look forward to meeting everybody.
