Not sure about other web designers out there, but I get livid when I see other web companies taking credit for work that my company produced. It’s one thing when you use someone else’s work as inspiration for your own–I’m totally cool with that, and guilty of doing the same. But to blatantly take credit for others’ work, and pass it off to clients as work they did themselves–well that’s just wrong, and boy does it piss me off. Such is the case with this clown…

Well what do ya know, the motherload mathematical holiday of the year is here: 3/3/09, Square Root Day.

This is pretty cool. Check out Cybrary Man’s website for more info on today. Good stuff.

Babe.

Ahh! Now this just may be the coolest plugin I’ve come across in all of 2009. And, it’s compatible up to the latest (at the time of this article) Wordpress 2.7.1.

The plugin is designed to thwart IE 6 users from seeing any content. That’s a good thing. IE 6 is akin to the crud at the bottom of your garbage can in the browser world. Why anyone would not upgrade from this antique is beyond my scope of understanding. I pray 16, maybe 17 hours per day that IE 6 will one day be banished from the world.

A Photoshop pal of mine asked me to post screenshots of Apollo’s footer design in Photoshop in order to steal my secrets. Here you go dude.

Start off with rough sketches to get an idea of positioning, angles and perspective.

The Golden Girls - sexy steady like a rock.

I noticed something while watching the Hallmark channel’s Golden Girls marathon. During the entire run of this show, which was a whopping 180 ass episodes over 7 seasons, their fashion stays pretty consistent. Even during the obvious change-up of the writing staff. So it got me thinking, and it goes a lot deeper than that. Older women’s fashion seems to pretty much does not budge. Ever. This might not be so apparent around here in the mountains, but maybe it’s because I really just don’t see many people here period–old lady or not. But in Florida, I seemingly know and interact with scores of old women, and their fashion (or lack therof) is as clear as a sidepunch to the face.

Holy shit, here’s something I like to see. This kid has started a movement (complete with website AND a book) to try and make a few dollars off something that is utterly ridiculous encouraging kids not to cuss. Damn!

Easily the most recognizable helicopter from TV. Except maybe Blue Thunder?

Airwolf was one of the cooler shows of the 80’s if you ask me. The film quality, editing and most of the acting is downright terrible, and even the computer graphics at the time were a bit cloogey. But once you get past all of that (it’s not easy…), you’re left with a show of a top-rate helicopter pilot (Jan-Michael Vincent) and his likable buddy, Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine) who actually do a pretty good job. I’d say if they remade this show today using the same dudes, it would probably be a lot cooler.

I don’t know how to say it any better than Alexander Mooney’s article on CNN just now:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/25/jindal.reaction/index.html

About a month ago, my brother said to me, “If they legalized and taxed marijuana, the economy would rebound in a month, and the street price would drop in half.” We talked about it, bitched about the current system, and determined that nothing but good could come out of such things. Read more »

I’ll give you hints.

Their main color is red.

They tout themselves as the best.

They were bought out or something, and started going downhill.

They had knowledgable tech support people at one point, however they were replaced with idiots.

The sales staff has so much enthusiasm that you almost get the hint they have high school interns calling you reading from a queue card.

They once touted the industries toughest data center with a million levels of backups. Yet, a car crashed into a telephone pole down the road and we had outages for a week.

The first four letters of their company are R A C K.

The last five letters are S P A C E.

Fart.

This fart waff responds to Obama's State of the Union

Thank you.

If you haven’t seen Nannerpus by now, well I just don’t even know what to think. Nannerpus seemingly built up a huge cult following, and its not surprising at all. Either the Denny’s marketing people are absolutely genius, or–and this is my theory–a bunch of them went to IHOP for breakfast and were probably too embarrassed to even eat.

As proof of the Nannerpus explosion, Nannerpus now has its own website, and a snazzy little art contest has even sprouted. This should be interesting.
