I think I could spend about a month just working on my personal projects and all of the books I want to read right now and still not be completely satisfied. I’m working on the site right now, and by the end of the weekend I hope to have the archive situation figured out, the search engine situation figured out, and the picture and site of the week pages created and updated.
My office is really really cluttered and messy.
Silverscreen is a theme manager for Palm OS 3 or higher.
This Industry Standard metrics report includes recent statistics on a number of things that Web developers need to know about their audience and the general Web audience.
Brad points me to this press release which proves that Freewheelz.com is indeed an April Fools joke.
I went out to lunch with Doug today and he told me about FreeWheelz.com. I still think it might be an elaborate April Fool’s joke, but imagine how many people will opt for a free car if they can. The example car that is pictured in this Esquire Magazine article is branded with Stay Free Maxi Pad advertising.
Can you just imagine talking to a friend you were picking up for the first time? "I'll be in a Stay Free Maxi Pad mini-van that says 'Heavy Flow' on the hood." Methinks this free stuff with advertising thing has gone too far.
This Salon article confirms what I think most of us that subscribe to Fast Company, Business 2.0, and The Industry Standard already knew: the magazines are getting too big. It also mentions Time’s new entry into this content area: eCompany Now. Based on what it says on their site, that magazine will be availabel in May.
Work on the site continues. I’m struggling with some of the sub-page layouts, so don’t hold your breath.
An exciting day. Too bad I can’t talk about what happened here yet.
I apologize profusely for the lack of a working site beyond this page. I had expected to have time to finish all the sub pages last night, but something has come up that is huge and so important that it superceeds everything else in my life for the next 24 hours. Perhaps tomorrow night.
It’s going to be a really light day for posts. I’ve got tons of meetings and several things that need to get finished and practiced.
You knew it was going to happen sooner or later: Wetlog’s SXSW album.
ROTORtype has some fantastic fonts for Web use. For free that is.(via kaliber10000)
Apparently, redesigns are rampant again. iBoy has redesigned, Keith Brown has redesigned. Is is something in the air?
For the record, and since it’s been the number one source of feedback, there will be a duck up here at some point. Until then see Ben Brown and Weblog Wannabe for your duck needs.
The reviews are starting to come in. riothero says, “Bump’s new design is less bumpy.” (What does that mean?) Heather says, “Ooooo la la. Bump rocks!” Thanks to both of you.
Brad and Derek have both posted their SXSW photos and memoirs. Brad’s had me laughing out loud.
Okay, its early Monday morning. I’m far from finished with this site, but I got sick of looking at the blue design, and wanted to share this new space age thing I made. Most everything that is an internal link does not work. Sorry. I’ll try to get to those pages as soon as I can.(Read: all my spare time will be dedicated to this task until it is complete.)
Some of the people and sites that influenced me in this design were Derek, Matt, Jack, Heather, and Jason. Big thanks to all of them.(Especially since I met all of them in person last week, aside from Jack who I already worked with.)
A powerful rain and thunder storm will no doubt interrupt my work at any moment now with a power failure.
