Stealing other web designer’s work

Jim Jamesson — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:52:31 +0000

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 [...]

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.

Upgrade Internet Explorer 6 or DIE

Jim Jamesson — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:07:05 +0000

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 [...]

Building the Apollo Creed Travels footer in Photoshop

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.

The Golden Girls and old people fashion

Jim Jamesson — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:11:38 +0000

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. [...]

Spam: a big steaming load of funt lamp groggery

Jim Jamesson — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:55:10 +0000

I often wonder how many spam emails the average web developer/internet professional receives per day. I wonder how many hours in a given week we spend dealing with spam… whether it be spam training, pressing the Junk button, or actually even reading some of the messages. If you actually take the time to read your [...]

The No Cussing Club

Jim Jamesson — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 19:16:07 +0000

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!

Airwolf - one of the awesomest crappy 80’s shows ever

Jim Jamesson — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 19:07:35 +0000

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 [...]

Bobby Jindal sucked bad last night, glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed

Jim Jamesson — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:14:40 +0000

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

Taxing marijuana to save the economy?

Jim Jamesson — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:34:59 +0000

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. Low and behold, lawmakers in [...]

Web developer quiz: Name a hosting company that used to be good but now sucks poo from a straw

Jim Jamesson — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:30:58 +0000

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 [...]

The Nannerpus art contest

Jim Jamesson — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 04:11:50 +0000

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 [...]
