how to talk to your web designer

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:48:50 -0400

However, it would definitely be helpful to see what websites and/or designs you like.

For example:

“I like the Tumblr look. It has big buttons, subtle gradients, solid colors etc.”

or

“I like craigslist. It has no design, looks like shit and I can’t find anything I want.”

on politics, but not actually about politics

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:22:00 -0400

yeah, there’s lots of going-along-with-the-crowd happening throughout this election, but all differences aside:

i’m really glad to see so many people getting involved in this election. hell, i’m really glad that i finally got invested into what’s going on.

i’m really glad that young and old people have taken to new ways of communicating and expressing themselves over this election. i’m really glad that there are lots of new voices.

i’m really glad that many people are actually excited over a presidential candidate, instead of choosing the one that sucks less.

Me: When do you think those dating robots will be widely available?
Me: I mean, is it worth waiting or no?
Shawn Morrison: I've heard rumors of early 2010.
Shawn Morrison: But they're being made by Microsoft.
Shawn Morrison: They're gonna be super hot, totally life-like.
Shawn Morrison: But you've gotta question that release date.
Shawn Morrison: Also the "penis mangling" issue when it crashes.
Me: Why is EVERYTHING A GAMBLE???

modern art, in sum

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:08:59 -0400

modern art is very much like the tv show ‘aqua teen hunger force’. if you ask someone questions, you will never get a concrete answer. you just have to ‘get it’.

except… aqua teen is hilarious and modern art is stuffy.

i wish the english language had more interesting characters

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 15:29:00 -0400

i wish the english language had more interesting characters:

our characters are beautiful.

if you’d like characters with lots of accents and symbols floating around them, which it sounds like you do mr. ciancio, you should take it upon yourself to learn a new language.

if our language bores you as a designer/typographer, then you aren’t looking at it in the right ways.
