My friend Lou has finally joined the throngs of self-employed with her new graphic design service Frog Box. She designed my web site plus business cards, and has come up with some cool stuff for a new Al and Dave design, which we might eventually get time to implement. She's very talented and did get accepted as a storyboard designer for a new film, but turned it down because when you're starting out you can't afford to work for nothing (related news: their previous film, Dan had a hand in). It's funny but when you look at talented designers you realise how much nicer they can make sites look than most of us programmers.
