I’ve been working for quite a while on a top secret project, namely Anderson Web Solutions. I’ve been doing various WordPress development jobs for the past year, but haven’t had a site specifically designed to profile my work or gather new clients… until now.
XKCD recently ran a cartoon pointing out some humerus/frightening Google trends as well as where they are most popular. While I tend to doubt the veracity of some of them, it sparked my interest, so I did some trend sleuthing myself. My focus was holidays.
If you look to the right of this post you’ll see that I’ve added a small AdSense module in the sidebar. Far from being an evil plot to milk tons of money out of this blog, it really is just an experiment. I was curious about a couple of things, which I’m hoping to test.
Eric Meyer often has humerus perspectives on life. I just found one of his more less recent projects: Excuse of the day.
[EDIT] It turns out this project is a lot older than I thought (as in over a decade older!). I assumed it was a lot younger because the twitter feed only goes back a couple of months. You can find out more about the project here.
Actually saw this on Eric Meyer’s web page, but I thought it was kinda cool.
While it eliminates the need for an extra HTTP request, it also means that the CSS style sheet will have to be larger for both IE and other browsers. Still, that’s probably faster than two HTTP requests.
I came across the site of an amazing artist today. I’d seen some of his work before (online, not in person), but it never had any information about the author. He’s got some great pieces of work. Here are a couple of my favorites.
He’s also done art in other media, but I personally think his chalk paintings are the best.
Actually, it’s musicians, and I don’t think they spoiled the soup.
Check out this amazing rendition of “The Flight of the Bumblebee“.
I just finished taking A List Apart’s 2008 web developer survey. If you’re a web developer in any capacity, you should head on over and take it yourself
