funny

Sent to me by my own father. Although he did say;

"Don't be offended by the first photo."

Au contraire papa I think it's hilarious.

My new friends and I saw this sign on the way out of the Exercise dungeon yesterday evening. I just spent a rewarding 25 minutes trying to get it off my phone and onto flickr.

In case you have trouble reading it;

Unrealistic Expectations in relationships is not Healthy
Loneliness
Indonesian Fried Rice Recipe
Treating a Cold at Home
All About Syphilis
Therapy is More Effective then Sleeping Pills

Symbolist poetry or wacky headlines? You tell me.

Frankly I am a bit worried about this because I found this tutorial that I am assuming is a satire, but maybe it isn't???

It doesn't matter because in any case it's hilarious.

Web 2.0 Design... in a nutshell by Roman Mittermayr.

Poor Roman I feel like a meanie laughing at his tutorial - but it's not him in particular it's the whole "welschmertz" of 2.0design, which he's actually managed to capture in a quite impressive little nutshell. For example;

First of all, check out these sites for a basic overview. Try to identify the major similarities between the various concepts. All of them seem to origin from the very same developer. Even though there’s no guideline (except this one here, wooho!) on that kind of design – it seems that the Bay Area is handing around some secret guide for that particular design scheme.

Yeah - well it does, and isn't that a bit weird kids... But let's truck on.

Ok, this sort of break-boring-html-rules trend seems to have got quite a must-have nowadays. Frankly, I also prefer rounded shapes over tight rectangles. Same with women, I guess. Nevertheless, some 2.0Culture providers do still stick to the rectangle design schemes. No problem at all, have a look at writeboard.com – their editor is a rectangled interface. Nice as well. To try a “psychological� approach to this difference, I might point out these facts:

Rounded shapes look more inventive, younger, flexible and experimental

I went out yesterday to buy Jane a book of hers I thought I'd lent to another friend and lost.

Which I hadn't. So than I showed up all sheepish holding a paperback of the original actually not-lost Book and Jane was like; "Stupid you already returned that one it's the other one you haven't returned yet." Prompting a full confession of the lending of the borrowed book, which up to that point I had managed to keep well-hidden.

I ended my snivelling explanation with the phrase "Well above all else - the key is to live with integrity." Which I am sure everyone will agree is a perfectly valid sentiment.
