FIWA

As soon as the words left my mouth today I knew I had to write this.

We were discussing a particular site, and talking about how it was becoming cluttered and unusable (or rather, has been cluttered and unusable for some time). At that point I said that we were …

Stimuli

One of my guilty pleasures is a little show on G4 called Cinematech which is, ridiculously, videos of video games. Absurd, but for some reason I’m drawn to it. I guess it’s cause I’ve always liked watching people play games (well) just as much as I …

PDF’s side project relaunched this weekend and is a stylin’ wonder of an eCommerce site. Check the little things, like the sliding images for the different product views, the styled radio buttons for the size selection, or the color coded bars next to the blog/news posts. …

Split

An outing to an estate sale yesterday resulted in the purchase of four books, among them Michael Crichton’s Prey. It was so good that I read through the entire thing yesterday and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

As I was starting it, though, I couldn’t help but …

Entry

First, another shot of that hott STI that I saw that one day.

And second, after some thought and deliberation I’ve decided to go ahead and enter Autoblog’s iPod nano contest. It’s pretty simple, all I have to do is link to ten of my favorite Autoblog stories …

The internerd is the hottest thing since sliced bread, so it’s only natural that there’d be a hott new craze sweeping the web approximately every other week. Here are some hot-ass internet bandwagons for you to jump on ASAP.

Whine

At some point the company that owns Macy’s bought Marshall Field’s which used to be owned by Target along with Dayton’s which was changed to Marshall Field’s since Target didn’t feel it was necessary to keep the two separated. Got that?

Well, it’s happening again. Macys’ parent company is …

Gripe

From a conversation earlier today:

Me: Hey GameStop, I’m here to buy a copy of We ♥ Katamari.

GS: Oh, we don’t have them yet, they should be in tomorrow.

Me: Oh, OK…

Yeah, so that’s how it was. Explain to me how a game scheduled for release today is not in your …

PDF is an expert at skateboarding and code; sometimes both at the same time.

Sssssnakesssss are sssssomething elssssse.

Ssssser Seriously, they’re nice. I remember the very first time I held a snake - it had to have been first or second grade, maybe, but it was really surprising because they feel exactly the opposite of what you’d expect. They’re obviously scaly but …

Juxtapose

Mod buildings + greenery = success!

We went for dinner last night in Stevens Point, and while driving around there came across yet another nice car. This time it was a black 1990 Audi Coupe Quattro. However, mileage and age were still the deciding factor when I passed on …

Mature

I work in an environment where casual dress is the standard. I’m talking jeans, tees, etc. And what I realized today is that I never had to stop dressing like a college student. Huh.

Today I met Russell Simmons.

I wanted to get a picture of him, but couldn’t didn’t. Nothing to show for meeting a man who is arguably one of modern music’s most influential figures. Crap.

I guess I got a little bored and/or inspired at the same time, since the site is no longer the black & white wonder.

What really blows me away with this whole thing is that the entire process took maybe an hour. It’s this kind of situation where CSS really …

Passenger

Sometimes when you’re stopped at a red light, and a grasshopper lands on your windshield, you’re lucky enough to have a camera with you.

Today was one of those times.

Staple

What? Staplers are destructive!

And speaking of staples, Apple’s Voltron-like superpower that is iTunes and the iPod has grown even more powerful with the addition of a new teammate and the replacement of two others. Actually, make that two new teammates; I think Madonna counts as her …
