Zeldman on style vs design.

Zeldman on style vs design. It’s an interesting article with a lot of good points. I can see many examples, from both sides of the argument. Some of it is the difference between high and low speed connections. On a highspeed connection, you think nothing of an 800kb flash download and if it sucks you close the window. On a modem, you’re sitting there thinking this thing better be worth the wait.

Watched American Psycho tonite. Personally

Watched American Psycho tonite. Personally i thought it was boring. I enjoyed some parts of it, other’s i was falling asleep. I guess you’re never really supposed to know if the guy’s awake or dreaming. ‘Please Insert Stray Cat Here’. The movie ended it and I felt like i had wasted my time, not really what you’re supposed to feel after you watch a movie. Maybe the fact that our generation is desensitized towards violence and i didn’t find it that disturbing. In real life i guess it would scare the shit out of me, who knows.

I know a lot of

I know a lot of people have linked to assembler recently, but i had too. The really have some amazing stuff over there. The bmx bike one with the ramps and stuff, i remember playing that game when i was a kid. I remember flying off some pretty crazy ramps, it was a great game.

I really didn’t feel like

I really didn’t feel like getting up this morning. One of those days when your eyelids don’t feel like opening. Can’t really tell if it’s lack of sleep or allergies or some combination of the two. I started work on a new layout last night. I’m going to be moving the site soon, I’ve been feeling the need to get my site of my account at home. I’m headed off to school in less than two weeks. I think i’ll get my room assignment in the mail tonite, a bunch of people found out yesterday. I’m hoping for single, preferably not west campus. They didn’t tell me my room yesterday, but the computer store at queen’s did tell me they were upgrading my processor.

I didn’t write down some of the more interesting moments in my life recently, some of them I just forgot, got sidetracked or something. The weekend before last there was some asshole outside of the burger king who wanted to fight us. He was drunk and not too brightm jubd if your typical small town hick. Hasn’t done much with his life since finishing high school. And then there was finding bubble stuff and a broom sitting on a ledge in chinatown. That and screaming really loud at 4 in the morning. And i wonder why i can’t wake up in the morning.

Bradford Cox is around again.

Bradford Cox is around again. Haven’t seen any of his stuff around since the original swanky community folded. He and Jay came up with the sound of print. A very cool site with type and graphics influenced by music. Remember finding it through mills back when he had enterface going on. I think he did a design or something for them.
