Digital Doug: Remote Control

Remote Control

After last weeks interrupted vacation I decided to look into the ability to remote access my computer from the lake. I already have Verizon wireless all I needed is a way to connect to my workstation. I downloaded a trial copy of Go to my PC and behold it works! I was able to easily control my computer from home. The wireless card works like a cell phone, the more bars the better connection. At home I have 2-3 bars as do I at the lake. This weekend will be the final test. I am 99% sure this will work up there because my signal strength is the same as at my home here in Corunna, MI. Lets hope so I purchased a laptop yesterday.

What I do

The morning I was born my mother was screen printing 7 foot bus benches, so you could say I have been in the business all of my life. I began to help my father Arlie Edwards hand letter at the tender age of 5 by filling in his lettering. As time passed I began to graduate to higher forms of lettering. By the time I was in 9th grade my lettering was on par with the old pros.

Our business has evolved over the last 60 plus years from brushes and paint to the digital age of rips and vinyl. By the way we began printing on pressure sensitive vinyl in the 50's Some of the first police decals ever made were printed by my mother Rosemary. Only the brushes have changed, not the art. A computer is mearly an expensive pencil in which to express a design. In much the same way as a piano is with a song. Some can play it, some think they can.

I love my work, it is my life!
