Mmmm! Old Links!

Ah, just going through my old links and found one of my favorites. Cockeyed.com justifiably won the latest People’s Voice award for personal site at the 7th AnnualWebbys (although I don’t understand why NobodyHere won the Editor’s Choice). If you do nothing else today, at least read the How Much Is Inside? section.

Top who of the what now?!?!

My brain wants to squeeze out my ears, drive to VH1 headquarters, and kill the list makers. They’ve supposedly come up with the Top 100 Greatest Songs of the Last 25 Years. The problems only begin by the fact that Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was named number one. Let’s move down to 4 and [...]

All Hail The Gord!

And the winner of the tournament won the controllers that were opened for the tournament (worth $80), and $20 in cash. Second place was a can of coke and an autographed picture of The Gord. Third place was $20.
The Gord likes to remind people that second place is just the first loser.

Here it ’tis!

Ok, I combined the 2 layouts I was working on and came up with this new design. I was thinking of holding a contest and people could vote on it, but then I remembered that I’m pretty much the only person who reads this (besides my roommate) - so that would have made for some [...]

A JOB!

I have been forced to resign my current position at Unemployed Slackers, Inc. That’s right, I’ll actually have a real job again whenever we decide upon a start date. The company is called Unigene, and I’ll be their new IS Administrator. It should be interesting considering they didn’t have an old IS Administrator. This job [...]

More re-design than you can shake a stick at

ARGH! Just when I think I’m about to finish my new site, I catch a glimsp of someone who has a true eye for how to work around a given look. photo matt’s design is brilliant in how he cleaned up the default WordPress template and made it his own. The color scheme is more [...]

Bad food, good times

Mmmm… Johnny Rockets. Maybe I should say, ugh… Johnny Rockets. Sometimes I question my own intelligence. Why did I think the first thing to hit my stomach today should be a Smoke House Burger. Just because it has bacon, doesn’t mean it’s breakfast food. I used to hate Johnny Rockets because their food was way [...]

Re-design in a nutshell

I’m actually learning CSS! It’s very exciting for me that my webpage will soon look like MY webpage, and not the default out-of-the-box designs I’ve been using. True, I’m getting a lot of ideas from different sites (BlueRobot’s Layout Reservoir and Mike Little’s Journalized have been big helps/inspirations), but in the end it will largely [...]
