This is a Firefox 1.0 screenshot of the 2005 Business Blogging Awards website. The site works fine in Internet Explorer. Note the wonderful misaligned background shifted too far right. Nifty, eh?:-P I would’ve thought by 2005 people would be doublechecking this stuff. One of my pet peeves, I guess, given that when I design I’ve…

I’d posted something last year discussing Carly Fiorina and Craig Barret’s views that America needs more competition between workers in order to drive down wages, thereby increasing profits. Funny enough, Fiorina got fired this week – something about “differences” with the HP board. To satisfy corporate tradition, she gets a $21 million severance package. I…

The idea has been on the back burner for a few years, and I’m finally…

I was listening to some music to wind my day down and I heard something in the song “Evil and Harm” by Younger Brother (Simon Posford) which attracted my interest; there was a sound clip which sounded sorta like this, spoken in a voice reminiscent of James Earl Jones: “I assure you, that with the…

I will shamelessly admit that I purchased Nelly Furtado’s Whoa Nelly! a few years ago, mostly on the strength of the “Party’s Just Begun” song that was also included on the soundtrack to Brokedown Palace (I never saw the movie, but the soundtrack rocks!). Recently on the radio, I’ve been hearing this really irritating country-tinged…
