I'm a 27 year old Web Designer currently residing in Lowell, MA. My career goal is to one day own my own web design business designing content rich, visually pleasing, semantically correct, standards compliant and accessible websites. I currently do UI development for a recently launched, web 2.0, user generated content site.

My Apologies

So it was good going down and visiting my Uncle.  I managed to see much of the capital and take some great pictures.  Unfortunately, I’ve been ill all week so have not really been in the mood to blog.  Which is unfortunate considering my last one gathered the most traffic (over 70 hits one day - not exactly creeping up the Alexa rankings, but nice none the less) and actually got Dugg - by 6 people (or maybe just one 6 times).  Kind of interesting how he worded it, my list was not meant to be a web developer’s list - just more of a personal list.  I may yet put out a web design one though.

On a personal note, gave my ferret a bath today.  This is simply one of the funniest things you will ever witness.  It starts with her sitting there as I wash her, looking like a drenched rat.  Then the minute I wrap her in the towel she knows it’s over and proceeds to try and jump out of my hands.  Once on the ground it’s scootching across the floor like a worm and rolling around trying to get the “stink” (soap smell) off and the wonderful ferret musk back.  Simply priceless.

More to come this weekend including, I think, a top 10 (20) or something for beginning to intermediate web designers (like me).  Maybe I’ll get into double digits in Digg.

Random Tidbit: One of my pet peeves is the way 90% of the people put their e-mail address in their e-mail signature.  I used to be guilty of this as well.  It is part of your contact information and makes sense.  Except when you stop to think about the fact that by sending them a message you are giving them your return e-mail.  If the recipient cannot then figure out how to reply back, it seems to follow that we should feed them to the lions at the zoo in order to stop diluting the gene pool.  But that’s just one guy’s opinion.
