how do you spell geek

i just noticed that i am the only dumbohead who volunteered to do her presentation even though it is so very half baked. how do you spell geek meets keener. anyways, now i have butterflies in my stomach, should go down to the market, have a calming chamomile tea. stage fright, stagefright. adrenaline rush. who made up all these words? in reality i am just talking about what i did for the last month, the problem is really in how to distill it into 15 minutes. the laptop might not work, it might snow, so there might be stuff like that. but basically i just try to document what i did, so i will let go of everything else and highlight my emails to siat, i will show the blog with the 4 animations, and the magazines. that should cover it. one obvious problem is that there are differing lengths in the animations and the sound is so very debatable. could show the brochure of the cag, is somewhere in my locker. was looking at the new yorker title page and what was funny was that they did not indicate the volume and the issue number, just the price ($3.95) and the date. so in this case i could write fall 08, which automatically indicates that the magazine comes out every 3 months. the New Yorker had the table of contents on the back of the title page which is very different from most other magazines, and they have a little blurb on each contributor. anyways, there will be problems with the COW and projecting the blog onto the wall, i am not quite sure if huddling around a laptop will cut it. should try to figure out how to put this online (the magazine that is), how to do it with all the word files, cause i guess pdf is better, kinkos likes them more., i am not quite sure what the digital output center in the south building wants. that is for printing though and @ this point i am churning the copies out one by one and am sewing the middle. old skool meeting new skool.
