Deviation Actions
For the first time in 31 years, the US dollar is on par with the Canadian dollar! Now is the time for us Canadian deviants to take advantage of these favourable rates and stock up!

You know you've cursed the fact that there is so much deviant goodness here on deviantART, but you couldn't take advantage of it because all the prices were in US dollars and you cursed the conversion rate. Well curse no more, the US dollar is at an all-time low and rumour has it that the Canadian dollar will actually be worth MORE than the US dollar for a short time before the rebound happens. So, my fellow Canadians, now is the time to jump up and top up those subscriptions! Dive into the deviantART shop like a bus load of pensioners on a trip to Buffalo and grab yourself some of that deviantWEAR that you always wanted but was always priced way too high for us north of the border. Now is also the time to go and grab up all those prints and calendars you always wanted because I doubt the rates will be this favourable again.
Yes, you're probably like me and you're thinking, "Sure, I can get great stuff, but what about the postage?" Well, if you're like me you're constantly cursing the fact that it costs so much to get anything shipped from the US up to us here in Canada, so I'm calling on all you Canadian deviants to stand up and tell deviantART that we want more choices! We don't want to pay $10 to ship one print! Speak out with your buying dollars and tell those people down there at the US Postal Office that Canada isn't on another planet, we're right here above them and we're tired of getting screwed on postage! Let's tell deviantART that we're quite happy to spend our money, but we want more choices when it comes to shipping! In the meantime stock up and save that postage by ordering multiple items all at the same time... You know you want to.

Looking for Employment Opportunities.
Greetings and Salutations,
This seems to be my yearly post. I just noticed that it's been about a year since I actually wrote something in my journal, silly me.
The main purpose for this post is to let people know that I am looking for employment opportunities (both of the freelance and the permanent variety) in the Graphic Design field. I have over 11 years of experience in the educational textbook market and I would be looking for something based in Toronto, Canada. While my forte is textbooks, I am also interested in talking about other types of books, magazines, ePublications and more.
Recently I completed a Web Design, Development, an

So, uhm... Hi!
Well if you're still watching me: congratulations, you are one of the very few.
It's been over a year since my last journal entry and although I have been on and around deviantART in all that time, entering things into my journal has not been a priority for me. So I thought it might be an idea for me to throw something new in here.
I noticed that I spoke of layoffs in my last entry from way back, and after a turbulent and busy winter it has finally happened--The company I worked for for over eleven years has gone out of business putting over 50 of us out of work. You can blame the US economy (our biggest clients were in the US), you can bla
Cory Doctorow on why you SHOULDN'T buy an iPad.
Cory Doctorow, author and Boing Boing blogger explains why you shouldn't buy an iPad.
Finally, someone else gets it. The iPad, like so many tech devices of today is fundamentally "flawed by design."
Why? The answer is DRM and closed content systems.
Apple seems to feel that the user is so inept that, not only can they be in control of the content that they purchase, they cannot even change a battery in their own devices anymore. Remember when your laptop would run out of juice and you could simply swap batteries? Not any more.
This problem isn't limited to the iPad however, look at the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes&Noble Nook, the new Chapter
