  1. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    Usually garlic, sometimes onions, sometimes dijon mustard...depends on the audience I'm cooking for at the cabin. I'm not really a recipe guy, I grabbed that off epicurious as it was closest to what I make. :thumb:
  2. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    Are you one of those typical Americans that only eats sweet, salty and umami? Sour and bitter shouldn't be ignored! Is it the dill or the vinegar that you don't like? Or is it the cucumber?
  3. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    Perfect side dish to grilled burgers, I make this every summer up at the cabin: 2 English hothouse cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total), unpeeled, very thinly sliced 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2...
  4. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    One of my favorite treats is dill pickled green beans. A-mazing. When I was a kid my mom would send one of those giant pickles you get at the fair in my lunch, I'm that much of a pickle fanatic--always have been. Fred, one exception to your rule is Milwaukee pickles--for some reason they've...
  5. Raster VS Vector Sign for the Shop

    It's more than that. Most customers are not graphics people and don't give a crap. If you want to get good art you go above them to their marketing departments or their company designers or hit brandsoftheworld or whatever. You can waste your entire life trying to talk vector vs raster to...
  6. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    Completely totally 100% wrong, pickles are amazing as is just about anything brined. If I take a bite of a burger and that bite is sans pickles I get angry. Considering most of the world puts malt vinegar directly onto fries as a condiment I wouldn't say your fries were "ruined" as much as...
  7. Nice job Josh!

    What's to get? You're old, stop trying to get things. Life is whimsical. It's a great wrap, nice job Josh.

  9. Job Wages / Salary

    I know right at those wages even in rural WI you'd be practically homeless. No way should a designer accept such low wages. It's a white collar job that usually requires at least a BA or BFA, those wages are ridiculous.
  10. HP Z1 Work Station

    You can build a grand format but you can't build your own dual 24" laptop? :help
  11. SignVOX - My review

    In the same situation Pat. I would have jumped on board ages ago if it was my sole decision. Great product.
  12. HP Z1 Work Station

    artbot have you heard of these things called laptops?
  13. HP Z1 Work Station

    Just hook a Kinect up to it, run Windows 8, hello future.
  14. Job Wages / Salary

    Designers that are crucial to a shop should be asking for equity agreements, definitely. I know of at least one massive sign company which is completely employee owned and all new employees vest towards ownership as well.
  15. Job Wages / Salary

    Right, which is why I said non-senior print designer. Print designer typically means for offset. You can adjust for your sign career from there depending on the complications of the job. :thumb: Don't know if any "sign designer" wage surveys have ever been done, would be tricky and it's a pretty...
  16. Onyx RIP Computer

    Get an off the shelf i7 with 12GB ram and the biggest SSD you can afford. No need to mess around with raiding drives or having multiple drives you're not going to exceed the write speed of a quality modern SSD anyway.
  17. wall wrap

    Cobbler's son has no shoes. I HATE designing for myself, same reason I'm one of the few designers with no tattoos. Like I could ever settle on one thing.
  18. Job Wages / Salary

    AIGA / Aquent partner every year to do a salary survey, the results are here. Non-senior print designer is ~40k USD salaried plus full benefits. That's $19.25/hour for hourly folks.
  19. There are a lot of hand painted signs around here

    Take pictures of them and add them to the Sign City Flickr Pool
