401!

For the time being I'm back in Providence and it's been an outrageously eventful trip so far. I've been catching up with my friends, meeting awesome new people, and I even got around to celebrating St. Patrick's Day. To top it all off I found an apartment in one of my favorite parts of town, signed a lease, and am picking up the keys April 1st!

Returning for one week of packing and planning in North Carolina and then it's back to Providence for the long haul. It feels really good to have the move in motion; I've missed this place so much.

I submitted a shirt design for the Firefox 4 launch competition: Firefox Doubledutch. I know a lot of designers who aren't thrilled with the competition because it's essentially spec work (strike 1) with no payoff beyond awarding you recognition if you win (strike 2). On the other hand, Firefox has been my go-to browser for many years and I appreciate all the work the Mozilla Dev team has done, so I may as well throw them a free design. It would be even better if they were to use it.

Voting for the shirt design takes place on March 30th. Fingers crossed!
