On June 4th, 2012, I gave a long session on using Inkscape in-depth to the Long Island Library Regional Consortium. We discussed bitmap versus vector images, and introduced all of Inkscape’s main tools, then ran through recreating an illustration. Some feedback I got after the session included:

  • Speaker has extraordinary knowledge
  • Instructor was very open to answering questions and going over things multiple times
  • Overall, very well done
  • Very knowledgeable
  • Hands-on with excellent answers to our (millions) of questions
  • Very detailed instructor
  • Excellent intro to new capabilities
  • The instructional concept in using inkscape/graphic design (was a strength)

Night walk in OCNJ

Tonight, Melissa and I took a walk on Asbury West Avenue from one end of Ocean City to 34th street, where we stopped at Wawa and had a 10 p.m. coffee. Love that place, great conversation, and well worth the walk.
