think before you speak, please
man, what a dry spell. nothing really to write about. so in a case such as this, i can enlighten you with more great "crazy sister-in-law" idiosyncracies.
remark #1
she called a lightning bolt a "thunderbolt." we laughed about that for days.
remark #2
while driving on a rainy day, she said, "those clouds look so dark and luminous."
obviously the two adjectives are opposites, and she meant to say "looming," but i said nothing in the event i need to throw this back in her face at a later time.
we get to hang onto these morsels and bring them up over and over again so we can laugh
at next to her. good times.
i was loosly paying attention to the tv the other night when a commercial came on for a new Betty Crocker cake pan that allows you to have a filling in a cake. the narrator said, "when you cook your bacon filled cake..."
it made sense to me. i love bacon. someday i hope to fulfill my dream of owning the web site baconisgood.com. i can list all of the great things bacon goes with, types of bacon, bacon recipes, great bacon restaurants, etc.
what the narrator was really saying was, "when you cook your bake n' fill cake..."
what a let-down. i suppose i could still fill the cake with bacon, but i really think this needs to get out to the public that bacon would be a grat cake filling. i was dissapointed that it really wasn't the case. maybe they should rename the cake pan something that sounds less like the word bacon so people aren't misled as i was.
This guy sums it up really well. The lowest common denominator keeps getting lower.
I thought this linked article is right on. The premise is that each page in a web site really costs $10,000. My personal experience shows that people are totally unwilling to put money behind their marketing ideas. They usually have their second cousin's nephew design their web site for $200. This ends up costing the company more money in the long run.
I once had an "almost client" that was the now-famous actress
Kelly Hu (X2, The Scorpion King). She wanted her first web site done to promote herself and her acting career. I never talked to her. I talked to this guy who represented her. We talked about what kind of look the web site should have and what the content would be.
Let's cut to the chase.
They were willing to pay me $200. It would be "a career starter" for me. That's the point where I mentioned they could go get their second cousin's nephew to do it. The funny thing is - I think they did. It was a terrible site. You get what you pay for, as the article says.
Holy shit. Have you even seen your second cousin's nephew's MySpace page?
You've been hearing all about it, I'm sure. Stampede is out.
Now go get it.
It's only $8. An incredible value if you were to ask me.
