new site Mar 25, 09, 10 a.m.

Finally relaunching my portfolio site. If you see any glaring defects (besides the obvious lack of talent) please let me know. Better I catch it now than get it pointed out to me by a potential client.

Economic Meltdown=Payday Oct 21, 08, 4:58 p.m.

I was telling a friend when the economy collapses, companies fire half their staff. When they get a big job and find themselves understaffed they bring in freelancers at 3 times the rate of the people they fired. Place your bets on this happening within the next three months.

The Ultimate Fighter Oct 16, 08, 12:18 p.m.

So I was watching last nights episode, and it's getting kind of obvious they're giving a few sports to people who probably are not serious fighters. They have to have one or two guys who will start shit and cause drama to drive ratings. I'm watching Junie Browning and this kid is begging to get kicked off the show. I can only guess he's making the ratings go up and the producers are telling Dana White not to kick him out.

Usability/Architecture Help Aug 21, 08, 10:49 a.m.

I'm working on a project and we're talking about ways where users can show things they find interesting. So far we've been looking at these sites-

http://www.notcot.org/
http://www.squidoo.com/

Two things we really really like about them are-

1. Steps needed to submit things are kept to a minimum.

2. Users can look at a large number of submissions quickly.

3. People can submit there own content and drive traffic to themselves.

Anybody know any other good sites along these lines?

Club Music Jul 11, 08, 3:28 p.m.

So I was playing an Avalanches album over the office speakers yesterday when one of my co-workers turns to me and says "Dude, this music is so gay", which is super ironic because all dude ever wants to play when it's his turn to be DJ is Justice, Digitalism, and Daft Punk.
But this got me thinking, could I play any sort of club or dance music that doesn't sound like it belongs in a gay club? I'd bust some hip hop, but as soon as we get to shooting people and smacking bitches I lose the girls in the office. Any suggestions?

PS- I'm really sick of flavorless KCRW music. It's like listening to a Thomas Kinkade painting.

Large Sacle Web Video Jun 27, 08, 1:31 p.m.

Hey Gang,

I've been seeing a few sites lately that use really large scale background video that seem to load and play really fast (at least on my setup). Anybody have any info on how this is done?

Slideshow May 8, 08, 12:48 p.m.

I found this site and it looks like it's a slideshow app rather than something built from scratch. The buttons look kind like Lightbox JS but it works a little bit differently. Anybody have any ideas as to what this is?
