The Holiday — decent movie, horrible DVD menu UI.

March 31st, 2007

As I lay in bed here on a Saturday night watching The Holiday once again since my lovely wife fell asleep during the first go round I am fuming about how horrible the main menu for this DVD is designed. Laying comfortably in bed trying to manage the selection of the scene selection section, say […]

Die IE 6, DIE. Or how pushing software fails.

March 29th, 2007

Am I mistaken, or was I not barraged by update notices at the end of `06 as Microsoft pushed out IE7?
Was I the only one?
I look at my stats and while I fully admit it is no great cross section of the internet public over a quarter of the visitors to my site are still […]

Virb is the word.

Sometimes I visit myspace.com. I go there to search the names of people I know or more to the point people I knew. I’m terrible at maintaining contact with the people who flow in and out of my life. It’s not that I no longer consider these people friends, I think it probably is closer […]

Prototyping.

300

March 18th, 2007

I could have easily titled this post “Finally” as well because I finally got to see 300. I had thought that I would see it on the friday it opened with my good friends Mark and Bert but that opening friday I found out that they had gone to see a midnight showing without me.
Crushed […]

Finally…

March 16th, 2007

How many first blog posts have worn that title? Too many perhaps. I admit it’s not very original but then again it is 2:17am. How bout cutting me some slack?
Well ladies and gents here it is, way to long in the making and still not finished. I had been holding out on pushing this design […]
