Stupidity
This morning I was reading my newspaper (NRC Handelsblad) and on the back page I came across this
hilarious story from a plastic surgeon (translated):
“Plastic surgery is a wonderful profession. About half a year after her
nose job a woman comes back for a routine check. She looks fabulous, is very
happy and has brought her husband along. She tells me that after years of waiting
for the operation she can finally get pregnant. It’s been two weeks since
the couple discovered she’s pregnant. To my question how this relates
to her nose job she answered that they both decided to wait after the operation
to have children. Both were terrified at the thought their child would end up
with a similar ugly nose.”

Peter Huwyler, an official Lamborghini employee and salesman, reacts
to the comments made in the first
edition of FAST. Now if only I can lay my hands on one of them cars. How
about a sponsorship deal? Free advertising for life on this site, a Gallardo
must atleast be worth that, right?
Blogosphere
Everybody remotely interested in Mozilla and design has heard the news —
but I’ll personally point you to the lickable™
drawings and subsequent final icons for Thunderbird by Jonathan Hicks.
From Belgium, Veerle
Pieters shares her thoughts
on how to keep code and the final product in mind throughout the design phase.
The folks at web-graphics
point me to this peculiar
article on web standards. Some valid points, but, in my opinion the author
completely misunderstands the role and place of standards in web development.
Read what Jeffrey Zeldman and
others have to
say and you would know why standards matter.
