I'm in the process of building my professional online portfolio, but I'm having issues putting PowerPoint presentations online. I use animations in a lot of my presentations. Is there a way to convert PowerPoint presentations into movies in Windows? I want to preserve my animations so that the shows are viewed the same way online as when I presented them. Any ideas? Drop me an email.

Inter-species Friendship
My parents have a Jack Russell Terrier.
My girlfriend has a cat.
According to many, there is no way the two will ever get along with one another. I just happen to be kitty-sitting this summer, so you can see why this would create a concern. So I looked in several books and researched online trying to find some way the two could co-exist for the 4 weeks the kitty will be staying with me.
All in all, I think I've been pretty successful.
I kept the kitty in my bedroom for the first week she was with us. This gave her and the puppy a chance to learn each others' smells. The puppy would sit outside my door, sniffing underneath it while the kitty laid on her side and watched the puppy's nose. After a few days, they started playing together. The kitty would whip her tail under the door and watch for the puppy to grab it before jerking it back. They'd play for a few hours at a time and it kept both of them very entertained.
Today was the first day I let the two actually meet for anything more than just a sniff-sniff introduction. I closed the doggy door so neither would be tempted to run outside and let them sniff around and play in the living room. As you can see from the photo, things are going pretty well now. They'll still chase each other every now and then. For the most part, though, the dog ignores the cat and vice versa. I don't plan on leaving them unattended any time soon, though. The cat will still stay in my room when no one's home ... just to be safe.
I just wanted to prove it could be done. Dogs and cats can be friends.

This just in!
I have a new website!
You can find my professional page at: www.eamann.com. I will also be keeping a professional blog at the new site.
Don't worry, I'll still be posting here, too. I just wanted a "professional" blog out there as well.

Website Designs
I'm in the process of designing my own website. Here's one of the graphics I'm working on. I made it with Illustrator and Photoshop. What do you think?

My girlfriend's tattoo
To commemorate her college education and mark a milestone in her life, my girlfriend got a tattoo today. She would have gotten it done yesterday, but we waited in the tattoo parlor from 4:45 until 8:15 before we gave up waiting on the "just 15 more minutes" and set a new appointment. She really likes it, and I think it looks really good. Click "Read More" to see photos from the wonderful day at the parlor.
To begin with, here's the original artwork for the tattoo. She found a "teacher apple" magnet and I used Photoshop to clean up the image and add a sketch she did of her initials.
The process of tracing the image, resizing it to what she wanted, and actually tattooing it on her hip took about a half an hour. This was relieving after our 3.5 hour wait yesterday. Here's some photos of her in the middle of getting the tattoo. I think it hurt ...
I took her out for ice cream afterwards to celebrate once again the fact that she's a grad school graduate ... and also because ice cream makes any pain go away. Here's a photo of the final artwork. It should look a little better after it heals a bit. I'll try to give you an updated photo in a week or so.
After watching everything, I am fairly confident in my decision to not get a tatoo. It looks painful and besides, what if I don't feel the same way about the image five years down the road? Oh well, I'm still happy for her and hope she can always use it as something to remember Oregon by.
