04:56 pm [Link]	The city streets are empty now. (The lights don't shine no more.) And so the songs are way down ... Ribbon story part 26, continuing where I left off last year. Last summer I put in 9 orders of various ribbons, ranging from 1000 to 2300 ribbons per order. (If you want to skip ahead to my Ribbon Gallery page, last year's "Worldcon orders" were orders #32 through #40.) Overall, I shepherded just over 13,000 ribbons. They were a mix of official and unofficial ribbons (and some quasi-official or semi-official ones), and there were some plain, some fancy, and many mixed -- plain plus the rocket/starburst slug. Here are some of the fancy ribbons from last summer's season of ribbon madness. Each uses a single typeface to help get its message across. I'm just pretending to be underage. flexible Karaoke Addict HAN SHOT FIRST the Cult: over 50 years of secrecy! the Cult: Colloquium of Weird ( As I mentioned in passing back in August, I had ''I'm just pretending to be underage'' printed up... ) Today's song is from Roger Klug, his cover of "Turn to Stone." I wanted a song about someone leaving, but not one that was too weepy. This was the best I could find in a ten-minute search.

06:08 pm [Link]	... low, turning, turning, turning. A sound that flows into my mind (the echoes of the daylight) ... Here's what I just posted to my company's in-house e-mail system, more or less. Collen's last day colleency will be out of the office starting Friday afternoon, the 27th of April. That is, after almost 8 valued years as our Hardware Analyst for Engineering, assisting me and G. in hardware development and testing, she is moving on to a new job in the motion picture industry, closer to her home. Depending on what you relied on Colleen for, you'll need to see me, Kim, Keith, Ron, or Peter. Ask me first if you're not sure. Colleen came to this company with some computer skills, a lot of intelligence, determination, and the ability to get things done -- but no access control or electronic experience. She picked all that up here. She leaves here having made herself a vital part of Engineering's process for developing, debugging, testing and releasing new firmware and hardware. She'll be sorely missed. Good luck, Colleen. C.D. Baden Firwmare Wizard ( I don't usually talk about my feelings on LiveJournal... there are plenty of people out there who do nothing else, but I don't generally think my inner turmoil and self-examination is all that interesting. So skip the rest of this if you like. ) Anyhow, yes, as a friend I'm ecstatic, thrilled, absolutely delighted that she's got a job close to home with friendly people. I imagine they'll quickly find her as indispensable as we did here.

She's only about 40 ribbons away from completing her skirt in time for Demicon. Check your desk drawers for leftovers from your own conventions, figure out what old badges you can spare the ribbon tails from, and let's get her the material she needs to get dressed! Ribbons received here will be forward onto her. Or if you've ordered ribbons from me recently (i.e. in order #51) let me know how many I can pull from your order when it arrives...
