Where The Hell Have I Been?
Things have been a little hectic lately to say the least, and I haven’t had a lot of time to post the usual drivel here on my site that I love to spew under normal circumstances. I am in the process of moving (within Boston) and just completed the first week at a new job, as I left Focalex last month after 5+ great years.
So anyways, below are some links that may or may not have sprung into more robust posts if I had the time. Enjoy.
This Is Broken – A great, and simple site. Probably something I would have done had I thought of it first.
What Design Should Cost – Having designed casually for a while now, and having lived with and been friends with many designers, the most common frustration amongst designers, is the lack of respect they get when it comes to being paid for their work. The importance of design is often fluffed off, as project managers see it as a needless extravagance that eats away at a budget, but personally, I think design is one of the most important parts of any project, and it costs money…so PM’s out there, start accounting for realistic design costs.
Boston Police Blog – Not sure how many variations on the post title “Double Shooting In Dorchester” that the writers will be able to come up with, but it sure will be interesting to watch and see.
Body Information – Some things you didn’t know about your body from Men’s Journal. I still won’t buy Men’s Journal, and I probably won’t ever do these things, but interesting nonetheless.
Ten Things I Hate About Commandments – Well done movie trailer parody. Worth the two minutes it takes to watch.
Prospectiv – “There are no jobs in this town. Unless you want to work FORTY HOURS A WEEK”. This is where I am spending my time these days.
TagWorld Widgets – These guys are quietly creeping up on MySpace, and although they have a way’s to go, this site is an indication that they “get it”. Instead of sending C&D letters to feeder sites creating widgets (a la Fox), TagWorld is actually encouraging users to create, share, and feed new widgets into the system. Pay attention MySpace, given the gargantuan lead you have in the space, you could rip off this idea and get your next 50 features from this sort of thing.
PunkyStyle – Speaking of people that “get it”, Amy has been quietly plugging away on a great little style blog of her own. She is always concerned that no one cares, and no one reads it, but I assure her that people do (they really do according to the webstats). Check it out, and if you like it, send her a note and let her know…she’d love it.
