RasterWeb!Kelly and Jeff Fitzsimmons just launched ComicWonder, which is a competitive arena for joke-tellers. Their mission is to “scour the earth looking for the best joke-teller in the world and crown that person the Comic Wonder of the year.”
I was hoping to get one of them to a Web414 meeting to talk about ComicWonder, but you know, they’ve been a little busy lately. :)
Grand Opening: Apple Store, Bayshore 6:00 p.m., Friday, June 29, 2007. Yup, that’s right! Another Milwaukee Apple Store. A good friend of mine works at this one. Sadly, I don’t think I can make the opening, but I do look forward to stopping by as soon as I can.
Blogging may be light for the next few days, as I am getting married.
No, really. I am. I’m getting married to the lovely Dana today. Hooray for us! :)
Don’t worry, things will be back to normal next week, and then I’ll be writing posts as a married man.
Have a great weekend everyone!
(Oh yeah, there’s more coverage at pete+dana)
We just launched the brand new z-2.org, which is the first step in the re-branding of Z2 Marketing + Design. This site was a real challenge compared to most of the other sites I’ve worked on in the past year. There’s a decent amount of Javascripty/Ajax stuff, without overdoing it, and while we used some Flash-like things here and there, the only place Flash is currently used is for playing the audio and video pieces in the portfolio.
Take a look around, and let me know what you think. We’ll be doing various tweaks as time goes by, but all in all, we are pretty damn happy with the outcome. We hope you enjoy it.
Remember back in 2003 when I proposed Google-Free Fridays?
Looks like it’s making a comeback. See: This July: Try Google-Free Fridays!
Honestly I’m probably one of the few people I know who doesn’t completely rely on GMail, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Floor Wax, Google AdSense, Google YouTube, Google Blogger, Google Sandwich Spread, Google Picasa, Google Groups, Google Shoelace Tying Machine, Google Analytics, Google Earth, Google Calendar, or Google Master Chef on a daily basis.
I do quite like their search and maps though…
