In case you haven’t been following the CPSIA uproar, start here at Overlawyered for commentary and links, links, links! In the meantime, here was a funny I came across from a comment by Heather Idoni on this post . In the town of Beddubble, far out on the Moor, there lived a small tot, who was not more [...]

Hegemony Of Design Over Content

Rant. What do you do if a client starts staring at the forest instead of the trees? How frustuating! When I recently placed a client inside a framework that would ease their content input I was slapped on the back for the simple sophistication that the CMS provided. Weeks later I’m being slapped in the face for how [...]

For those who aren’t even Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans you may want to tune in to the Bucs-Raiders games today. Sure there are playoff implications: if the Bucs win and the Cowboys lose, the Bucs go to the playoffs as a wildcard. But more importantly than that is the fact that it will be Monte Kiffen’s [...]

Happy Christmas

My favorite Christmas song. What’s yours? The Fairytale of New York – The Pogues featuring Kristy MacColl. It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won’t see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to [...]

Collected

Chuck — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:45:06 +0000

Jeff at Yellow Dog is thinking about his books. Thanks to TiVo and the flexibility of running my own business I’ve actually had more time to read these past several months. It has been a joy I have missed since, oh, college. Which brings me to the collecting meme put forth by Jeff. In college, I collected texts [...]

Blackle Pudding

Chuck — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:22:50 +0000

Gen Yers still lack discernment, percipience and skepticism. To wit… Mo noted this evening that many of her students were using Blackle by Hype Heap Media as their search engine. Why? Supposedly because it is the “energy saving search engine” and saving teh [sic] planet is like cool and stuff. If these little mush-minds actually did some [...]
