I know I will get a bunch of slack for this but print makers are notoriously bad web designers in my opinion. There have been a few exceptional cases that I have met, but generally, when a print design company tries to go web design, it usually looks like wrong. They almost always have a really beautiful giant splash graphic and thats where the magic ends. It's no longer just a picture that you put on the web, it's a living interactive interface.

Right now I am working on Ride for Roswell at work. You can look at last year's website to get an idea of where it is going It is designed by Flynn and Friend's, a company in buffalo . I decided to look up their firm on the net after seeing the CD I am supposed to work with had their name on it. The paradigm is so old, i received some photoshop pictures and it is supposed to become a web site.

If you look at the non-web media design portfolio on their website, it looks pretty nice. But the web deisgn stuff looks really mediocre, borderline lame. I guess the was interersting.

I think it is the result of print based web designers relying too heavily on photoshop. It's all still a throwback to when the web was all slice up tables based layout. My question is how much do they get paid for the web site design, when I am doing the coding here at Roswell and someone else enters in the data.

Today's special atw work was those yummy wingdings. I knew this because I saw it on th mobile app I made for work where it reports today's specials. I guess it worked for me. Yum!

So, I finally spoke with Jamie Moses and I can make some time now that most everything else is out of the way. We are going to meet on Tuesday night to talk about the Geek Meet and some other stuff. Then on the 16th maybe I will move the server. It is mostly set up and whatever doesn't work atthat point can be set up remotely afterwards. I think we will gain a lot of improvement in what we can offer. Especially because we will go from having 6GB (around 4285.71 floppy disks) worth of space to around 400GB (around 285,714.29 floppy disk) worth of space. Then we can start having more video and audio features.

Wow I really let my hair grow long this time.










Afterwards, (e:lilho) and I played with the baby. I bought her a new stocking to play in. She loves it. At some point (e:lilho) started to turn into a squirrel.





She played iwth it so much she started to become a squirrel.



(e:lilho) was playing with my phone and pulled out the memory chip. It is really tiny. She asked me how big it was and I said 1 gigabyte. Then she said how big is that so I said ~1,000 megabytes. Then she asked me how big that was in floppy disks. I can't remember the last time someone asked me how big something was in floppy disks. I almost forgot they existed. Anyways, It is also around ~1000 floppy disks although prob some less because I think that floopy disks were 1.4 MB each.

We saw barbie at target. She had a special message for everyone.

I decided to clean out my phone of pics that hadn't made it to my journal yet.

We went shopping the other day at the Blvd mall but I forgot to post these pics. The mall looks really different than I rememebr it. What surprises me most is that ever other stand/store is a front for a mobile phone carrier. Some even have mutliple shops which seems so weird to me.



They also have polish water. What the hell is polish water and is it Polish like the nationality or polish like the nail enhancer. I hope it's the first one, maybe. It reality it sounds like a code name for Vodka. (e:matthew) says he thinks he heard Vodka refered to that way before.



The tree came down and with it all the ornaments. I took so many pictures of them for some reason.
