Freelance Freedom #21
Sunday, October 21st, 2007
I came across this comic, by N.C. WInters, over at Freelance Switch. I had to pass it along because it is just so true. When you freelance as your primary source of income, days tend to all blend together. The line between weekday and weekend gets pretty thin, if not disappears all-together. For most freelancers, there are days you work, and days you don’t, but they don’t necessarily correspond to a calendar. It can be a real bummer. I used to really look forward to Friday, but now it’s just another day.
There are quite a few of these comics on the Freelance Switch site. I also really like this one and this one. I definitely identify with them.
Oh, and if you or your significant other are a freelancer, you might find their article, Mixed Marriages: When One Spouse Goes Freelance, to be an interesting read. I did.

The sad thing is, there are probably people who actually buy these. Check out their commercial for a good laugh (or cry). Sometimes I’m so embarrassed to be an american.

Right Brain v Left Brain
Friday, October 12th, 2007
Do you see the figure above turning clockwise, or counter clockwise? According to this article, in the Australia Herald Sun, if you see her turning clockwise, then you must be one of those creative types, using more of the right side of your brain. If you see counter clockwise, then you’re more analytical, using primarily the left side of your brain.
Personally, when I first looked, it was clearly spinning clockwise. As I moved my focus over to the article I could still see it out of the corner of my eye, and it changed direction and begun to spin counter-clockwise. It took a minute, but I found that I could look away and then come back and see it clockwise again.
According to the article, most people see counter clockwise. I’m not sure if I by into the test, but it’s definitely interesting.
Lets do a test of our own. First, look away from the picture and do complex math in your head, then look back. Is she spinning counter clockwise? Next, look away from the picture and think about eating chinese food on a submarine with Snuffleupagus, then look back. Is she spinning clockwise?

Can you spot the 5 differences?
Thursday, October 11th, 2007
Here’s an excellent opportunity to test your powers of observation and attention to detail. Five Differences is an awesome flash game that presents you with a series of almost identical images and it’s your job to find the differences. Some are relatively easy, but others are down right hard.
As you click on an item that is in one image but not the other, a running countdown lets you know how many are left. On the first test the countdown is obvious, but on subsequent tests the countdown becomes part of the scene, so pay special attention to where it is.
The site seems to be having some technical difficulties, so if the link doesn’t work the first time, try again in a minute or two.

Thursday, August 16th, 2007This seems like the kind of thing that should have one of those, “trained professionals, don’t try this at home” kiind of disclaimers.
On a side-note, could VidMax come up with an uglier player. I thought YouTube was bad.
