Because of Scott‘s cranky constructive comment…
Just noticed the stationary tree background. Kind of reminds me of mySpace pages. Are you sure about it?!?!
… I have changed the background to take away the trees, to see if I like it better.
MySpace. Hmph.
Here’s a comment someone left on this blog that really puts the “world” in World Wide Web:
Love the music
Here is a typical error message that I get on the CCI system we use at The News-Sentinel:
Dba2.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.
And then you have only one option: Click the OK button. Thanks, CCI.
But Google is different. The folks at Google know people will ask for things that will make no sense in the real world. But instead of creating cryptic and useless error messages, Google creates solutions.
You’re likely familiar with the search engine’s spell check. Do a search for “pancke” and Google gives you the results, but also helpfully responds, “Did you mean: pancake.” That’s great design, and it keeps me going back to Google for searching.
But even better is the Google sense of humor. Its April Fool’s Day jokes are legendary, but Google builds a light-hearted approach in other areas.
Now, scroll down to number 19, or maybe 20. Those Google guys really know how to be silly. And that makes working with Google more fun.
Ah, that’s getting better.
I decided to mimic my original web site pages in the redesign of my blog.
I still don’t like the header just yet, but I’m diggin’ the rest of it. For my next trick: bringing my Flickr photos back to this front page. That’s fun. And then maybe I’ll bring in my last.fm radio selections.
Technology is fun!
I’ll be experimenting with some other themes for a while until I settle on one that I can manipuate to do what I want. The cleaner, the better! I want people to see the content, not the design
If you have any comments at all, leave them here.
When my wife asked me how to find my music on my web site, I knew I had stopped listening to my own advice.
Think of the reader!
This blog is way too chock full of stuff and garbage. So, beware of sudden design lurches in the days ahead as I experiment with vastly simpler templates and designs.
So, pretend you’re a guest, arriving at the Brighton Meadows apartment complex here in Fort Wayne to pick up something for your wife.
Where do you park? Read that sign carefully:
Which means what? Park on the grass?
I ended up parking in a space that was certainly meant for another resident, but i didn’t know what else to do.
Sure, apartment managers need to make sure residents have places to park. But it’s even more important that guests know where to park. Your residents will learn the rules and remember them, but guests will have no idea how to not offend the residents without well-placed parking signs.
