Torturing myself with IEAs a torture for myself I am using IE for PC the whole day, just to make sure everything with the site works there.

UPC and gradingI also have a couple other projects I would like to get started on. One is a giant database with UPC codes that people can access online. Users can then upload pictures to match the UPC codes. The end users can imput their daily consumables as UPC codes and get a image based on the item images. It would be exciting to see the collages in different neighborhoods, classes, and regions. It would be best if I had a UPC code reader. I doubt they are too expensive. Does anyone have one? I fnot I will begin hunting for one.
I think that you can generally assume the more objects in your day that you come into contact with that have UPC codes, the more generic your life experience is. If you think about all the stuff you have , anything that has a UPC is most likely not a unqiue item. I mean you can still do unique things wiith the item (i.e. a computer). But then think of something like a blanket your mom made for you. It has no UPC and is very unique. However, a blanket your mom bought at target has a UPC, and manufactured feeling that anyone can experience. Usually the things without UPC codes make you feel very special.
I have so many projects on hold right now. I wish i could just an extra life for them. Maybe when school is done I can focus on the million and a half art projects out there waiting for me. I keep deciding to write something and then get distracted with something I want to add to the site. It is both a curse and a blessing to be the person who makes new stuff. It is fun because I can make the site do whatever I want. For example, I was sick of scrolling to the entries and made the nav box, but othertimes it is totally consuming because it is so hard to decide not to add new stuff. I could honestly, sit and program 24 hours a day because it is so fun and I have so many ideas bu then I would have no friends - well accept (e:twisted).
On another note, my intro students had to make a web site for a futuristic product and one of them chose "chesse cigarettes." This is a graphic from their web site, unfortunetly it is offline or I would just give you the URL.

New Nav BoxI updated the nav box once again. Now when you clos eit, it returns you to the top of the page. It is also draggable. If you click on the T it brings you to whever you have the "Top Twelve List" if you click on C it brings you to wherever the chat is. S toggles the scrollbars although it works them both on and off.
