Is it time for a Department of National Aesthetics? This article brings out some really good points about the weak name for the “Department of Homeland Security” and the fact that if we are going to display the flag all over the place, don’t we deserve a truly kick-ass design? [via Erynn]
I worked for one of the top 10 law firms in the nation for over 5 years. That’s where I first dove in to the Internet & web development, and I even helped work on one revision of the firm’s website. Too bad they didn’t follow Powers Phillips, P.C. – an real law firm – in their candid honesty about what their firm is really about! Here is just the first paragraph:
“Powers Phillips, P.C., is a small law firm located in downtown Denver, Colorado within convenient walking distance of over fifty bars and a couple of doughnut shops. Powers Phillips also maintains a small satellite office-in-exile on the cow-covered hillsides near Carbondale, Colorado, where it puts out to pasture some of its aging attorneys.”
It gets better from there. [via WOIFM]
I wondered a few weeks ago which animal they would pick for O’Reilly’s Essential Blogging – considering all the fuss about blogs with cat-related post, it amuses me that that’s just what they picked… 5 cats, in rather playful poses. Good choice, in that extremely ironic way.
Well, they let me down again. Here are the amazing and awesome contents *cough* *cough* of the Gold Box full of things you would never buy:
:: Outdoor Recreation Tool Set List: $49.99; Our Price: $34.99; Gold Box Price: $29.74
:: Vanilla Sky (DVD) List: $29.99; Our Price: $18.99; Gold Box Price: $5.70. $5.70!!! Damn, did they end up with 10,000,000 copies that they need to move fast?
:: American Tool Strait-Line Laser Line Generator No list; Our Price: $49.97; Gold Box Price: $34.48.
:: Shop-Vac 1.5 HP Wet/Dry Vacuum List: $49.99; Our Price: $44.99; Gold Box Price: $38.69.
:: Drill Doctor Precision Drill Bit Sharpener List: $169.99; Our Price: $129.99; Gold Box Price: $116.99. Irony? I’ve never owned a drill in my life and wouldn’t have a clue how to use one even if I did.
Yeah, they missed the mark this time. By a long shot.
If you happen to be one of those people that have come to this site from the numerous daily Google searches for the word “blah” – would you mind humoring me by taking a moment to leave a quote to let me know why on earth you searched for that word in the first place?
