sloth read

I have been reading Designing with Web Standards (third edition) and learning a few tricks. Expensive book but worth the price cause it fuels a local family and it was also a late Christmas gift. So far I have reached page 85... Majority of my reading is online but for some strange reason when it comes to computer books, I tend to enjoy these in the printed variety.

Didn't have much luck with doing design work for a friend. Also didn't realize he was selling it till I checked on a local forum. Pretty rotten if you ask me..I know if it were my friend I would of paid them or at least sent them a CD for their portfolio.

sloth snowball
I can't remember if this it the fourth of fifth snowstorm this season. On top of that I heard that it is supposed to snow again on Tuesday. Maybe I haven't been paying attention but this seems to be like alot of snowstorms in a short amount of time. Maybe it would seem different if I had a fancy snowblower, but to be honest a little shoveling isn't so bad and it is sorta peaceful when it is early in the morning.

Here are some of my Snow Space photos below. I guess you could say this is taken from a worm's perspective.

sloth no connect
In about two hours it will be 1/11/11. I mentioned Verizon Wireless getting the iPHONE and we will get to finally experience this after years of waiting. It is like a hibernating bear finally reaching the honeypot. For years I watched people talk and chat about the iPhone and felt rather left out as a Mac user of old.

I have also decided to join Facebook. I know that the majority of my friends will be surprised. As much as I do not like the policies that change overnight I have to suck it up and deal with it because Myspace is about to explode. Many years ago in a .com land there was Facebook and from what I remember you had to have an invite from a friend to use their site. So I banned them in my own way by not using their services. I didn't need Facebook, Friendster, Classmates or any of that extra stuff. I just wanted my own site. However, with non-tech friends and family we have to be a sheep sometimes. baaa

sloth interview
Recently I went on a interview in the city but that didn't turn out so well, but I look at it as a bonus. It was only part time and the pay was very minimal. Also I wouldn't really be learning anything new.
