bad blogger! bad!
I published this Friday but then Blogger went all wonky – I thought it was out there all weekend, but it wasnt. So here it is, with minor adjustments…
I’m sorry — I cannot BELIEVE it’s been over a week almost two weeks since my last post. That is irresponsible of me. Bad blogger! Bad!
But…I learned a few things over this last week:
- Apparently NO ONE finds murderous kittens as funny as I do.
- Not as many people are looking at my flickr photos as I require to feed my enormous ego. So feed my ego, people! (Seriously, there are some pretty cool shots in there.)
- Don’t get my hair done at some place I haven’t been referred to. I’ll end up with an entire staff of Vietnamese stylists who answer their own cell phones every five minutes, and only speak English when speaking directly to me. The rest of the time, I am certain they were laughing at me and the horrible haircut and highlights they were giving me, which took 3 hours and 15 minutes! And I’m pretty sure my hair is actually darker than before.
- Don’t slack on cleaning up the house and buying groceries the week that my dad is coming to visit. Because, inevitably, I will be stuck at work at 5:35 on the day that I planned to leave really early to get all that stuff done.
- Arrested Development Season 3 is as unbelievably funny as I remember. Maybe even funnier. If you haven’t yet, go buy yourself the whole(1) friggin’(2) set(3). You owe it to yourself.
- Good things *do* happen to good people. This goes out to Lee: Ribbit! :D

Ribbit!
i forwarded the murderous kitten link to like a hundred people. took full credit for it too. thanks for the easy sourcing of yucks!
i think it’s a statistical improbability that i would have seen something in the Onion before you did, skorloff! (as if!)
i believe it’s yuks, sans the c.
-the speling police
1) I pwnd the Lutheran school I spent two months at in CA by defeating every other seventh grader at spelling.
2) I misspelled “grammar” at the regional competition to get second place. There was even controversy over the fact that the judges counted my misspelling as correct (grammEr). The mother of my opponent blurted out that I had gotten it wrong, which was against the rules (blurting out by the audience, not misspelling words). So the girl standing next to me had to spell the next two words correctly to win. They were easy words.
3) I wonder why they don’t have spelling bees for adults.
4) Or something called “happy hour” for kids.
5) Jonathan will reply that his cat’s breath smells like cat food.
yo – v. i’m trying to track down a link you sent to me awhile back. the title/jist was more or less “content _is_ interface design”. does that ring a bell? do you still have it/can you find it? a google search turned up bupkus (p-man, please spellcheck my yiddish idioms wherever appropriate).
ah… it’s “copywriting is interface design” on 37signals: http://www.37signals.com/svn/archives2/getting_real_copywriting_is_interface_design.php
finally! my obsessive sending of design-related links pays off! ;)
hope it helps! i’ll email it to you too.
Do you have any links along the lines of “Executive intervention IS interaction design”? That would be great.
no, but i’ve got corporate design made me mediocre … will that work?
man – i should check my own posts. here’s the link, rather than just the URL: copywriting is interface design
