JanetLackey.com :: Graphic Design for Interactive Media and Print

A friend and former coworker I admire has left her daily job as a graphic web designer and is leaping into independent work as a freelance for-hire web designer.

You have reached the online portfolio of Janet Lackey. I'm a graphic designer living in the midwestern U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri. As I approach a decade in the design field, I find what makes my career so enjoyable are the colorful variety of projects and clients I work with.

If there's anyone that can pull this off and be successful, it's Janet. So check out JanetLackey.com. Also, catch up with her stuff on her blog, her LinkedIn profile and her flickr photos.

For the record, I'm not stalking her. She just has a lot of cool stuff she does online and this is just a few that I know of.

Gaming-PCs

Gaming-PCs is open for business and your best bet for a high performance computer deal.

Gaming-PCs.com is focused on providing the best computer for the money. We compete against and almost always beat the prices of larger computer companies such as:

• Dell
• Alienware
• Compaq
• HP
• Gateway
• E-machines
• Sony
• and more!

We use only high-quality materials and manufacturer parts from the biggest names including but not limited to:

• Intel
• AMD
• nVidia GeForce
• ATI Radeon
• Antec
• ViewSonic
• Sony
• Western Digital
• Asus
• PNY

All of our computers are assembled by trained staff, and they are all put together by hand. We use screws and pins that are packaged by the manufacturers, we don’t insert needless, breakable plastic parts that can become loose or break. Plastic parts may make installation faster, and easier, but they also can make the computer less reliable so we will not use them unless they are recommended by individual component manufacturers.

If you are looking for a great deal on a new PC, be sure to check them out.
