Since my last UT Dallas update the construction here on campus has been increasing at a fever pace (is that even correct grammar?).

This hopefully is a better photo than the last one, both taken from the camera in the iPhone. I thought this photo out a bit better before shooting it.

The construction on the UTD campus makes it a bit of a challenge getting around campus some days, but ya gotta hope we will end up with a much better campus when it is all done.

The job is going really well. I love working in this university setting and am being challenged every day with new stuff to learn and get involved in.

The other thing I am really loving is my iPhone. The always connected aspect is very cool. I am writing this post from the UTD Student Union building in one of my 2 favorite chairs right from the iPhone.

I also purchased an app called "FTP on the Go" ($9.99 in the Apple App Store) that allows me to log on to my other ( non- WordPress) sites, look at all the files, download and edit a file and upload the edited file. That's huge to be able to do that from my phone! At least it's huge to a web designer.

UTD - Where I work.

Where I work, The University of Texas at Dallas, they have been doing a ton of construction on campus!

I finally took a snapshot of it on my iPhone.

You have to walk way out of your way to get many places, but the end result should be worth it.

I also wanted to make a short mention of this great little iPhone app iBlogger, which allows me to make blog posts, like this one in any of my 8 WordPress blogs.

Great products Apple and iBlogger, thanks.

So I guess my mission has changed a bit since I took a position at The University of Texas at Dallas.

I started there on December 3rd and am now employed full time doing what I love to do - Web Design!

I'm working in a team environment with a team leader and 5 other coders in the Web Services Department. There are various skill levels represented and each member has their little niche that they excel in.

I (don't laugh) have a Dell laptop that I use in tandem with my Apple Powerbook G4 paired with (2) 19" Dell monitors. Each machine has a 19" to extend the desktop, so it's a sweet setup.

I have dived in and am involved already in 2 major projects as well as having just worked on the Fall 2008 Graduation this past weekend.

The school is on break until Jan. 5th, so I don't go back until then. While I am on break I have started a major re-design job for the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation's website.

I will continue to help my freelance clients finish up the sites I was working on. Then I will take on freelance jobs as I have time available, with the ok of the University.

The opportunity came from a job ad I answered on Craigslist while I was in San Antonio working from the hotel. The benefits are really good and the people I am working with are really nice.
