A Recommendation I Will Not Take

March 6th, 2008 by knomat

I was poking around Amazon looking for a good web design / user interface reference, and came across the following recommendation on a web design book:

“I am not a User Interface developer. I actually am not good at it at all. But this book gives me the knowledge I need to do UI development, planning, and make them very usable…” [irrelevant rambling continues] “…This book is a must have. It covers all the best practices for designing web sites.”

A must have, T. Anderson (PA USA)?! How do YOU know? You suck at UI design. You can’t even spell practices right. What makes you think I’d trust a crappy designer who can’t spell?

Mayo, but not mayonaisse.

February 25th, 2008 by knomat

The doctor said my cholesterol level was a smidgen on the high side. It’s not high enough to require medicine, but enough that I should keep a closer eye on my diet. I decided to scour the net for various tips on reducing cholesterol and the first place I thought to look was the Mayo Clinic. So, I fired up my browser … www.mayo.com was my guess. Go ahead and click on that.

Ahhh, the irony.

Make a Band

January 21st, 2008 by knomat

I’m always a sucker for a good net meme. If anything, it gives me an excuse to post. Found this fun one via axsdeny via djwudi.

The rules:

  1. Band name: Use the name of the article from the first random wikipedia page you load when clicking here.
  2. Album name: Use the last four words of the last quote on this random quote page.
  3. Album cover: Search using the last word from your album name on this page. When the results appear, use the third image from the top of the list as your album cover.
  4. Assemble the cover in Photoshop (or whatever) as you wish and post it on your blog. Please trackback to this post or axsdeny’s post.

Here’s my entry:

  1. Band Name: List of Highways Numbered 240
  2. Album Name: “In the Wrong Building
  3. Album Cover: auditorio de santa cruz by extranoise
