Comment on Thoughts on Non-Objective Art by Pharmacy

Thanks for your tips. One thing really noticed is that often banks along with financial institutions understand the spending routines of consumers as well as understand that a lot of people max out there their credit cards around the breaks. They properly take advantage of that fact and commence flooding your inbox in addition to snail-mail box by using hundreds of Zero APR card offers just after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that when you are like 98% of all American general public, you’ll jump at the one opportunity to consolidate credit card debt and move balances to 0 APR credit cards.

There is by no means any long term good fortune with such a diet. The child on a regular basis begins by fasting (except for for water) below shut clinical supervision for twenty-four hours. A explanation why to consume fruit and veggies daily. Early power kidney disease. In case you find that an exclusion nutrition identifies sure meals that make your ibs signs worse, they are continuously called ’cause foods’ (because they ’cause’ the symptoms). 3-day diets go by way of a variety of names, together with the fax vitamin, military vitamin, army nutrition, cleveland sanatorium nutrition, and plenty of others. So much end result are limited, however a few fruit (rather then watermelons and bananas) is allowed so long as it does no longer produce weight gain

Comment on Design Review of Political Action Committee Websites by Michael Trussler

Spot-on analysis of these really dreadful sites.. Even Hucakbee’s with it’s more mature palette and structure suffers with a ‘featured item’. (if you present it correctly, you won’t have to tell me it’s features, cause I’ll see it is…), and I think any site design suffers when you present a designer with a poor logo as the jumping-off point.
Boy, I hate that..
It is surprising that the standards are so low in this field considering they are essentially in the communications industry, and can’t seem to manage their visual language.

Haha fixer is good.. Or maybe a two word combination that includes “Technology” “Formats” “Digital” “Information” “Architect” or “Technician.” Though I admit Technician used to sound techy, but now may sound a bit old and creaky.

I like the idea of you just being a Designer, a little enviously. I’ve been casting around for an alternative to “Computer Repairman” (and its variations) in my line of work. A Fixer? Too many Mob connotations I guess but it could get me some interesting clients.

Comment on Looking at Welfare Differently: A Valuable Purchase by Neil

Wow, what local flavor we’re missing out on.

Seriously, I wouldn’t want to live in a country that only valued the ‘best’ citizens.

Comment on Apple’s iPad and the censorship of Apps and Internet by justin

To be fair, Apple didn’t delete it from their device. They just never included it to begin with. Also, no other mobile OS supports flash, which won’t be available until the second half of 2010 (After being delayed for a couple of years). Multi-tasking is being added to the iPad with firmware 4.0 this fall (and in a month for iPhones) as mentioned by Jobs during the keynote.

You can’t just take a major component of the Internet, whether it’s HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, XML, etc, etc, or Flash, and completely remove it from your device.

Can you guess which one of these doesn’t belong, because it is a closed, proprietary standard? That’s right, flash. Everything else is an open standard. Again, it is hard to remove something that was never added to begin with. I recommend you read Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash here: http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash Many of Apple’s arguments make perfect sense, and it seems like a reasonable decision to leave it out.

Although, I agree that the iPad missed the mark in many regards, I don’t blame Apple for leaving off flash. There are several native apps for the iPad that blow their flash, web-based counterpart out of the water both in terms of functionality and aesthetics. MLB At Bat and ABC apps are perfect examples with many more content providers making their sites flash-free, including ESPN, CNN, Disney, NY Times, Vimeo, National Geographic, etc. http://www.apple.com/ipad/ready-for-ipad/

Finally, the app store dominates every other platform when it comes to gaming and makes on-line flash games look pathetic. And yes, there are even thousands of free games!

Yes! so true….. where’s the altruism these days? why people can’t just make something good and be happy to share it without needing the validation of being credited, is beyond me….
