How to ask for a website on Craigslist
Tuesday June 23rd 2009, at 12:27 am

In today’s technoriffic and twittertastic age, a website is your required alchemy into this abstruse domain. Since you’re just discovering the internets, an intertubular site de web is really the beginner’s apparatus. Forget about tweeter and blogors and the webosphere; file that for later. Being a web developer myself, I’ve generously created this example Craigslist posting, expressing your desire for one of those neat interwebular sites. If you use this, you’re sure to garner the best of applicants, well on your way to having your own place on the hyperspace information webnet.

Website Designer Wanted!!! be sure to use multiple exclamations

I’m looking for someone able to build a cutting-edge website for a slicing-edge company. There is no pay, but there is great opportunity for future revenue. This is really the kicker opening, and sure to attract.

We need someone who has the latest skills in website design, marketing, and SEO. We want blogs, and members, and a top ranking on Google. We need our members to be able to blog while driving, and to be able to drive while blogging. So there’s some serious UI considerations here, meaning you also need to be an expert in UI design and testing. Sounds pretty simple so far!

This website needs to be a site for the web. If you don’t understand the web, then you need not apply. If you don’t know everything about internetular websites, then you should look elsewhere. You should also be good at making coffee, and using Powerpoint. The entire website should be created in Powerpoint, and then ported over to an Adobe PDF for viewing on the web. You also need to plan on coupling an Adobe Flash into the Powerpoint, so that it can then be exported to an SEO viewer for the web. The website also needs to play a song from my favorite record. This is pretty basic for anyone in a college that teaches the interwebs.

Lastly, you need to be able to read a Word document, because all of my programming requirements are in a Word document. You should be able to just do File->Save For Web and then make the website. This shouldn’t really take a lot of time for you. My thoughts have been typed into a computer, and therefore the computer simply needs to execute my typing. But that’s where you come in. And I can’t really afford to pay you a lot, because I’m on a budget. I can pay you in giraffe poop deodorant, because that’s what my website will be selling. Oh, I forgot to mention that you just need to have e-commerce abilities in this website, as well. But that should be easy for a pro like you.

So, if you’d like to make no money, working for someone who knows nothing about what they’re asking for, please contact me. I mean, it’s not as though roofers or carpenters or mechanics get paid. They just dictate their commands into the Matrix and shit just happens. That’s reality… the reality of your skills being worth nothing to me. I guess if you need some money though, I can offer you ten freaking dollars for some coffees or something. But that’s really pushing it.

 

So, by using this example posting on Craigslist, you’re sure to get lots of attention! I hope this helps you make your webular dreams come true!



Why does digital TV suck?
Wednesday June 3rd 2009, at 10:23 pm

DTV sucks. I hate the idea of paying for cable and I refuse to. For decades, Americans have enjoyed free basic television channels. Now with DTV:

  • I don’t receive some channels I used to.
  • I have to buy special converter equipment.
  • The signal is either there, or not there. There is no in between “fuzz” as with normal analog. “No signal” is really a popular show.

Thank you Clinton, for signing this ridiculous and awful bill. Thank you U.S. government, for screwing up my DTV converter box coupons, and never sending them to me.

The U.S. government can’t even handle properly dispensing a coupon, yet I’m supposed to trust they can fix our economy? Yeah, okay.

About one year ago I embarked on a very special journey, by accepting what was an exceptionally important project. A project driven by someone I am happy to be acquainted with, who is nothing less than stellar.

Gwenn Voelckers, visionary of AloneAndContent.com, along with her sister Anne Palumbo and graphic designer Kevin Siebert, shared in my excitement today as we celebrated the completion of Gwenn’s site — complete with some bubbly! It is not often that I am privileged to build a site that exhibits true heart and soul . In a world filled with commercialism and consumerism, it is really an oasis to work with a person like Gwenn, dedicated to her masterpiece, Alone and Content — a wonderful canvas of expression and color.

If you have a moment, please visit AloneAndContent.com.

Enjoy.



The new Facebook.com layout sucks.
Friday March 20th 2009, at 10:32 pm

The new Twitter-esque Facebook layout is unpopular among more than 1 million Facebook users. Facebook has failed to realize what originally made itself so popular: that it was a welcomed oasis from the glitter and incessant ramblings of social networks like MySpace. And, paramount, that it was a closed social network open only to college students.

Now Facebook has turned into a place where your mom is friending you, and you’re forced to delete all those sweet pictures of you passed out drunk on the floor, from funneling an entire keg. Now your employers research you first, and your stalkers — well, it’s just super-easy for them to be stalkerish. It’s a place filled with ridiculous applications like “vampire” and “Make a Baby”.

Come on Gen Y, Gen Z, Gen We. Do we need to stoop to these levels?

Check out http://www.rochestersubway.com, for those of you who live in Rochester. It’s always captured my imagination that Rochester used to have a subway, and it makes me ask a lot of “what ifs”. I have the poster too, and it’s awesome.
