I know, I know…you’ve all been patiently waiting for the next SharePoint post from Darrel. Sorry to keep you waiting! Yes, I know…SharePoint is thrilling and I’m sure you’ve been wearing out your F5 key waiting for this post. (Why does SharePoint drive me to such thick, dripping sarcasm?)
Anyhow, here’s a quick tip that, as […]
I managed to FINALLY be talked into dragging myself out on a spring Saturday to Minnebar this past week thanks to Ben who asked me to be on a panel to discuss the age old Designers vs. Coders issue that still seems to plague way too many web projects. Seems as if we’re still talking […]
This is completely off topic, but, hey, it’s Friday.
We’d like to rent a cabin this summer somewhere in the MN/Iowa/WI region not TOO far from the Twin Cities.
In the past we’ve visited Madeline Island which has always had a very nice selection of homes and cabins that, while perhaps not ‘modern’ are certainly well designed, […]
I was perusing the latest HOW Design Annual and came across an article on pricing trends. It was a report on the data HOW collected via their pricing survey. Two numbers popped out at me. The first was the low range of hourly graphic design work in the Midwest: $17. Wow. That person must have […]

Some quickie news bits re: local paper-based content design:
The Pioneer Press has a new design. It’s narrower with a new headline typeface and a bigger crosswords puzzle. Definitely different, but doesn’t feel fully thought out. The comic page still sucks.
The Rake is done with its paper version. Bummer.
One of the frustrations with a lot of software these days is that the bullet-point feature list in the brochure doesn’t usually tell the whole truth. It omits the ‘but…’ statements that are often critical to have a full understanding of the capabilities of a particular feature.
MOSS is full of these omitted ‘but…’ statements, so […]
Awkward name. Cool logo. Affordable, local, interesting-looking web conference: http://www.minnewebcon.umn.edu/
Well, that’s what it should be. I’ve been paying attention to the past year’s worth of new stuff from Apple, but most of it was met with a reaction by me of ‘Oh, that’s kind of neat’ but nothing really more than that. We had to go to the Apple Store last night at the […]
