kingdom of soon
Stuart has me trying to cobble a script together for Project Porchlight, which has been challenging. I’m working my contacts and trying to bust something out… everyone knows I’m no programmer, but I usually manage somehow. I’m going to demand at least three free lightbulbs for all of this sweat and toil, and they better not be the old incandescent kind that everyone’s replacing with his fancy super-bulbs that save the earth and make girls play strip crazy eights with you.
I’ve also been whipping up a site for a local law firm, which has been good fun. The client is pleased with it so far, and all of this web stuff is making me think I need a proper portfolio and ‘business’ website. The real trick with stuff like that isn’t so much making something look good as it is to make it read good.
I mean, how do you stretch the notion of ‘I make websites’ into four or five distinct paragraphs? I walk unafraid of circular logic and marketing doublespeak, but man. The cheese is thickly laid with this kind of crap.
I’ll take a break from it all by working my Saturday job on Wednesday for a change. Inventory time has rolled around once again, and in the spirit of not wanting to count too high, I’m having my own personal TELUS Mobility blowout. Two for one leather cases and car chargers – hold on to your mobile phones, people. It’s getting crazy downtown!
What a riot! Strip Crazy Eights!
We’ll retrofit your whole house with CF bulbs, man. And that will save you $2500 in hydro bills (over 5 years). I know, delayed gratification. Like someone across the table laying a 2 of Clubs.
Programmers! Save the planet and your money! Get free bulbs and lots of eco-karma. onechange.org needs help now…
(sorry to hijack in a desperate attempt to find programming help)
