Bipolar friend in Austin just got a job as executive director of a new .org to take the Makers co-op thing to third world environments in Africa. Makers co-op is the sharing of design, prototyping, and manufacturing technology and equipment kinda like joining a club or gym but you get to use all the cool new tools like 3D printers and other's are hanging out to help.

I get stuck doing all the artwork for the .org. This stuff gets him manic so he calls me every couple of hours with some new idea. That's not so bad, but he has to tell me this whole back story of the idea. The acronym for the company is AM4A. AM4A sounds like Amphora which is a pottery vase used for shipping in egyptian and roman times. At first it was good enough to just use an urn, then it needs to be steampunked, and now it needs to look like some futuristic updated steampunk thing with a LOT of detail like gauges, displays, keyboards, coils wires, etc. Basically a whole lot of details. Soiunds cool, but way too much detail that doesn't have anything to do with what the .org actually does. Oh, and if this is like any of the other projects like this he's gotten involved with, I probably wont see a dime of what he is promising to pay me.

I'm just too nice.
