Just received some great news from an old friend who called to reassure me that what goes around, does, in fact, come around. I can’t say much other than that, but it’s good to know that karma is alive and well.
Remember that next time you need to make a decision between right and wrong.
I think this video from JibJab sums up the year pretty well. All I have to say is… Peace out 2009. I didn’t like you anyway.
This video made me smile. I have never wanted to play the piano as bad as I do now! Anyone know what song this is?
I found this video on A Cup of Jo and here’s the back-story: “Elderly couple Fran and Marlo walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They’ve been married for a whopping 62 years, and Marlo turned 90 this year.” Yay Fran and Marlo!
I usually try to avoid The Office, Dilbert or any other form of entertainment that is so painfully similar to my everyday office experiences that it cannot be funny.
Then I started reading the Clients from Hell blog and found that sometimes these sorts of things can be humorous.
Today, they posted a Dilbert cartoon:
Not going to name names or anything, but seriously… this happens to me at least once a week.
I want to share this link with you (sent to my office by one of our clients who knows what’s up) to give you a taste of what I get to deal with on a daily basis.

While at times it can be very frustrating (and humorous) to provide client services to people who do not understand web design and development, I really do enjoy educating people about the process.
Now if only they would trust me to provide them with good counsel!
Just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that I haven’t forgotten about this blog. Life and work has been incredibly busy lately.
I am so thankful this Thanksgiving season to be working hard on lots of great projects in the office. I can definitely see more businesses ready to start projects that have been held up for most of the year for fear of the economic climate.
I can’t believe it’s November 20th already! Before you know it, it’s going to be 2010.
Heard on the radio today that Hulu is going to start charging a subscription fee for its site.
They already show commercials. Why would I want to pay money AND watch commercials?
Oh, that’s right… I don’t want to do that.
Okay, so I stole the title line from Leon Phelps (aka the Ladies’ Man from SNL)…
I wanted to share this video that shows women depicted in art over 500 hundred years.
Not only did I find it interesting, there were a lot of times in the video where some of the women in the paintings looked like people I know (or celebrities).

Help Haiti
Did you know that Haiti is considered the only 4th world country in the Western hemisphere?
That was before yesterday.
After a 7.0 earthquake, more than 3 million people are estimated to have been affected by collapsed buildings and infastructure. Hospitals can’t handle the demands of the injured earthquake victims. The presidential palace, parliament and other government buildings have collapsed. Important leaders, including France’s UN mission leader and the Catholic archbishop of Port au Prince are being reported among the dead.
This is an immense strain on the tiny country beyond the troubles they already faced.
American relief and government agencies have been put into action, preparing to send in rescue crews, Red Cross volunteers and a Naval hospital ship to help.
Please visit Chris Sacca’s site to read more about six ways you can help out Haitians.
Please help Haiti.
