It’s official…

Hollywood is out of original ideas!
Article from Ars reports that there was actually a bidding war over the rights to produce a movie based on Asteroids. Really!? This was a great game in its day, but that’s all it was, a game. There’s no plot and no characters except for maybe the pilot of the triangle space ship and the aliens in the flying saucers. How they’ll write a full length movie from this will be interesting and sad to see?
What’s the problem here?
It still amazes me that there are large companies that still use IE6. Is it really that hard to update to a new version of the browser or train your employees to do normal system updates? Blame the IT dept?
Venting….
Social Networking Getting out of Hand
An interesting site was just sent to me from a co-worker and shows just how much social networking is being, in my opinion, over used. The site is skittles.com and what they’ve done is used their Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter and Flickr accounts as their main content. Weird, but an interesting approach to completely loosing your brand in a social networking black hole. There are a few links that actually have the Skittles brand but are hard to find and not very informative.
Anyone not paying attention would definitely be confused as to where they landed!
Another one bites the dust
Is anyone really going to miss Circuit City? I haven’t stepped into one of their stores in years and that was only to see if I could find something Best Buy didn’t have in stock. It’s unfortunate for all the people loosing their jobs though!
Finally…
The site’s at a point where I can say its done. But as most web designers/developers know things are never really complete. With new technology and techniques emerging on a weekly if not daily basis it’ll never be truly complete.
I have to say, WordPress is a great CMS and I’m glad I went this route. The ability to post photos and creative is so easy and the plug-ins allow easy back end control of these elements.
Restless
Getting clients projects wrapped up is a great feeling and now there’s plenty of time to work on my own projects. Hmmm… lets see, new website layout could use some work, camera could use a good dusting, that drawing table that was built hasn’t been touched.
Most important things first, getting the website up and running. Goals for this thing have come and gone like the moons.
Ok, focus and stay away from the tv!
