Dear friend,
Well, the snow dance certainly worked. Over here the world has turned white, public transport has ground to a screeching (or slipping?) halt and it was the first time in decades that there were no people outside of the New Model Army concert trying to buy tickets… in fact, the venue was only half full. Still, I met some friendly folks from the UK who had made the trek by boat and train just to be there. When you are passionate about something, it becomes less of an effort I guess.
How passionate are you about your job? If you are passionate enough, like I am, then putting in that bit of extra effort should be fun, not a chore. I can tell the passionate from the jaded quite simply by how they respond to words like “accessibility” and “standards”. If they scowl, they’ve lost it. But you can get it back, trust me.
Just read my blog.

The Ghost of websites past
Scrooge sat in his office. It was barely lit. He was typing on an ageing Mac.
He scoffed at his developer. ‘You squander money the way you go through women.’
The developer looked up. ‘Half the mobile Internet traffic these days is on an Iphone, all I did was spend some extra money and get one through my…’ and he stressed these words, ‘private plan.’
‘Bah! Humbug!’ Scrooge replied.
Wishing you…
A merry Christmas and a happy, creative and defcon0 new year!
We’ve nearly ran out of 2009, so if you liked it enjoy it now before it’s gone! It has been a strange year. Some good, lots of bad, but not as much bad as everybody thought. And the good is very good. You know who you are.
Warning: Are Your Words Helping or Hurting Your Business?
Using the right vocabulary is everything when it comes to writing powerful copy. And though I adore words even more than donuts, it was only recently that I realized I had been using some of them all wrong.
Free goodies
Keepdesigning keeps doing it. Some great ornate spiral vectors, free.
Happy web-building!
