Hi there! I'm here to share a short info-graphic I made some hours ago about the Affordable Care Act. Almost three weeks ago, I attended a round table discussion held at North Carolina Mutual and hosted by the Greater Durham Black Chamber of Commerce. I took a bunch of information away from the event, but that's where it stopped. The deadline to enroll to #getcovered has now passed, but the beginning of 2014 is when we'll start to see the act in effect. More health care literature can be found here, but take a look at the video below for a summary of the Act. This is my first try at an info-graphic video. While experienced professionals tend to use Adobe After Effects for these, this video was done with MS Powerpoint, Wordle, and Blueberry Flashback Express. Enjoy! Feedback is appreciated.

I stopped at the library this weekend and was surprised to see a posting for an Information Session that will be held at 7pm on January 21, 2014 at the Southwest Regional DCo Library.
See the flyer in the gallery below for the details! 

 Yesterday afternoon, I made it out of the house and trudged through the heavy rains to Raleigh. Members of the Triangle Sketch Crawl gathered for the afternoon at the NC Museum of Natural Science to practice drawing from the variety of objects found at this new location. I remember coming to the museum previously during a conference I attended, but this was my first time actually exploring the many levels and exhibits. It's a very beautiful space with a lot to see. I spent half of my time snapping pictures (gallery below) and walking around before I found a couple of spots (by the turtles) that I enjoyed sketching in.
