my daughter is 13, the smartest girl in the school. right now she's looking at youtube videos because she wants to upgrade her dslr and this year she's starting voice lessons and guitar lessons. at 12 i started out my professional career, literally. she's across the hall, in my presence all...

i've seen some really bad years go by (post divorce, post bankruptcy caused by divorce, post custody battle). so for me and the next decade, i'm going to grow this thing into a fire breathing money maker. i just need about 3000sqft and two or three good employees. and also get out of these...

@oldgoatroper i read somewhere that the average work week in south korea was around 80 hours. i do about 100. the harder you work, the more seriously your commercial clients will take you. just days before christmas i received $35,000 in orders (two projects i am a 1.5 man shop ...me and...

i bought a wide body 911 once and had to take the "turbo" logo off the back that some idiot put on there.

the encoder is probably dirty. my entire printer was freaking out because of a single cat hair inside the gap on the encoder. first take it off and clean it. supposedly you are not supposed to use compressed air. that is the way i did it. also, since it is quiting at the exact same spot...

my two cents. when it comes to upgrade season all of us graphic artists end up spending $1000 in billable hours looking at photoshop shootouts, cpu benchmarks, losing sleep over all the techy stuff. this year, i am going to plop my money down with my pc guy and tell him to have fun with it...

@ld-art hope the best for you. feel free to pm me if you don't feel the therapy is working properly. i'm curious if they have her in DBT or just basic counseling. it does take stability for a kid to pattern proper reactions to situations. and the dad factor is huge. glad to hear things on...

i'm not wrong. if you have a kid that literally has a schizotypal disorder, or rapid cycling generalized anxiety that kid will need medicine. no amount of hugs and structure will cause that person's mind to process reality the way a healthy person does. i'm not discussing the strata of...

yep that is where we are at. and if a parent loves his or her kids than that possibility has to be a part of the equation. for obvious reasons society will allow our kids to have allergies, have crooked teeth, have just about anything except for a personality disorder. i think simply because...

it's hard for a balanced person to wrap their mind around the idea of having some form of an alter ego. the balanced person just says "calm down" "straighten up" but for those that have disorders they are helpless to the disorder. if your daughter has BPD she will always be tempted to do the...

one thing to consider that many parents miss or don't want to admit/discuss/educate themselves about. ...simply because it's not a pretty reality to face but would do their kids a great service to break the tradition of looking the other way. ...is many girls (at least 10%) have diagnosable...

we just barely survived a custody battle last year. my daughter was in a mediocre loveless home and wanted to move to the country with me and my girlfriend. it was the most emotionally exhausting experience of my life. almost destroyed my business ($22k in 10 months). but the other side...

oops. i meant merry christmas. ...but then my birthday was last month so i'll take it anyway. it did seem when looking at the printer that inwear wasn't just in the price point business. also wit-color seemed to use better components when given the option. i wish i knew more about uv, i'd...

and you won't hear back from them for a while. i went through the same routine. also, i got a happy birthday email from one of the printer manufacturers today. don't remember what i was inquiring about with them at this point. but they did also have a small form factor uv printer with a...

faulty can simply mean that the length of spring in that one cap is a bit wimpier than the rest. if so you can just pull apart the capping station and stretch out the spring a bit to put some more energy into the spring. i've done this with success. first make sure though that you are...

if it costs pennies, than the materials used cost pennies. and butyl carbitol isn't cheap. if it works great than that is awesome. but i could easily come up with a brew that cost a 1/5 as much. at this point i just use butyl carbitol and a little acetone. butyl cellosolve to me is filler...

it's a one of a kind printer. a bit of a hybrid of several printers they sell. will be ordering it in january. i've got quite a few mods that i'm still detailing out which i'll keep confidential. if the z already goes 50mm, i'm sure 100mm wouldn't be a problem. you'll probably need a...

after getting the festool ts75, i'm almost wishing i went with the dewalt for one reason only. ...blades. the festool has an odd arbor size that limits your blade choices. it's the best saw technically but you end up using the extremely expensive festool blades, or super cheap knock offs...

you might look at inwears small form factor's uv led printer too. Inwear is a massive company compared to this guy. i'm getting my printer from them. very knowledgeable and extremely honest. they reduced my invoice $5k a week later because of a computational mistake, even after i'd accepted...

i had a couple exchanges with this guy when looking at solvent flatbeds. he's a really cool dude. what are you printing that requires uv that coated and or compatible substrates and solvent ink won't do?
