New wireframe design

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I’ve decided to release the new wireframe design to the live site. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but it’ll get there with time. I figured that since I went back to building wireframes most of the day, that this site should reflect a little of that. 

Weigh in and let me know what you like and don’t like. I know a few errors and rendering bugs exist for IE, but I’ll get around to fixing those soon enough.

Two years ago I purchased a smartphone running Windows Mobile. For two years now I’ve struggled numerous times in using the phone. The struggles were the same struggles and frustrations that I dealt with while using a PC. While I’ve never gotten the “blue screen” on the mobile device, I would experience screen freezes and the device locking up, forcing me to remove the battery.

That frustration ended Friday. I ditched Windows Mobile and switched to the iPhone. After the two minute activation process, I had that same feeling I had when I switched to the Mac. The ease of use, the fantastic user experience, the beautiful interface that is Apple.

Apple has exceeded my expectations and solidified me, once again, as a lifetime loyal customer. Thanks Apple.

But the other kids…

“I like to play indoors better ’cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are.” —fifth grader

In an article over at Treehugger, seems more and more kids would rather stay inside and play video and computer games than play outside. Is this a product of technology or a laziness among kids?

Netcraft is reporting that as of January, 155,583,825 web sites (not pages) reside on the Internet.

My, that’s a lot of tubes.
