I have decided to compile one last ditch effort of 20 questions. As it is really fitting to think this whole thing started about a year ago around this time... really it was in late two thousand six, but that wouldn't make for dramatic effect.
So here it is, drum role, the final version of 20 questions for the year that was... 2007!
20 Questions with Bud Rodecker:

It's some kind of router deal that lets you share speakers over a wireless network or something, and that I want it because I have object lust for anything Apple.

Have you watched the demo for the new leopard OS?

What did Santa bring you for Christmas?

I know I had a camera question, but cant seem to remember it right now. Would you take a stab at answering that question?
Point and shoot.
Ok, forgive me on this one, but I was more focused on conceptual design, rather than just learning the software... like you. That being said, how do you apply page numbers to an InDesign document. I followed the help guide, but all it did was number them in the menu, no numbers actually showed up on the document. And I want to chose my own typeface and number placement, but apparently that feature isn't available?
Add it to your master page. To add page numbers in your document drag a text box and go to Type / Insert Special Character / Auto page number, or drag a text box and click Option+Shift+Apple (pretzel)+N. You can then style the type anyway you like!
Did you read my blog?
I added it to my RSS feed list but never saw a post. Now when I go It seems you have let your domain expire... wtf.
How does Publishers Clearing House work... where do they get all that money? And what do they publish?
They steal the souls of all the lonely old women who buy countless subscriptions hoping to make it big and sell them to the devil... or they just make a hefty profit off of magazine subscriptions and only give a portion of that out to winners.
Why are you sooooooooo creepy?
Because you make me that way... I miss your gentle touch Cole. Luckily I had those webcams installed
So I recently toured the print shop on campus, and the large format poster dude told me that "...the most important thing to remember is that you can't overprint white, the biggest problem I have with files is people set them up to overprint white..." WTF? I realize white is not a color, so why would it be set up as an overprint... its a large format digital printer, wouldn't it just not print and show the white paper through?
Uhh... White isn't even an option for a color in the program... That dood is wack.
Thanks for all your help this year... your technically focused education has helped fuel my concepts. Maybe someday we could come together and form one Mega-Person. I look forward to a new year, and some all new questions.
! we would be unstoppable. The world would tremble before our wrath.

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds of relevance to anything holy and good.
