The other Evan Agee

Scholarship Winner for 2006 Announced Congratulations to Evan Agee of Year 11. Evan is this year’s Quest scholarship winner. The scholarship leads to a Certificate IV in the Arts – Multimedia. The…

A strange thing…
I wouldn’t think anything of this if it hadn’t happened one or two times before… Today I was sitting at my desk at work. I opened the drawer on my left and noticed my watch (which has had a dead battery for nearly 3 years) sitting there. I pulled it out and noticed that it…

The power of music… again
While working today I was listening to a song. It’s a song that at one time I listened to very often back when I first got out of high school. I would be driving back and forth each day to Indianapolis for work and during long car rides I got to listen to lots of…

Why do people hate other people?
I understand that there are always going to be people that are not happy no matter what happens in their life. I can even understand that sometimes people are going to be in a bad mood and say something bad about a person that has "wronged" them. What I don’t understand is why some people…

The big little things in Richmond Indiana
When I first got out of high school and decided that I was going to study graphic arts in college I assumed that I would be leaving Richmond when it came time to find a career. After all, Richmond didn’t seem like a hotbed of new media at the time, and I had never met…
