This occurred to me as I was taking the ‘A List Apart Survey’….
Even though I solidly checked ‘Web Designer’ as a profession, I do actually perform all these tasks…daily
- Graphic design
- Page layout, interface design
- Information architecture, wireframing, sitemapping
- Markup, e.g., HTML, XHTML, XML
- CSS coding
- Usability testing/knowledge
- Accessibility testing/knowledge
- Findability/search engine optimization/search engine marketing
- Front-end programming, e.g., JavaScript
- Image editing and production
- Writing, editing
- Project management
So can I change my title…to Web Site Super-Maker or something ?

NME put out their list of the best albums of 2009. As I expected, it’s full of noisy, obscure Indie bands whose hipster factor outweighs their actual musical talent. I hadn’t heard of most of the bands (not surprising. I’m not British and I don’t read the NME) but I had a few of the albums on the list. Here’s my rankings, based on the music and how much I listened to that album:
| Artist |
Album |
My Rank
|
NME Rank |
| Franz Ferdinand |
Franz Ferdinand Tonight: |
1 |
43 |
| Lily Allen |
It’s Not Me, It’s You |
2 |
25 |
| Kasabian |
West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum |
3 |
11 |
| Arctic Monkeys |
Humbug |
4 |
12 |
| Yeah Yeah Yeahs |
It’s Blitz! |
5 |
3 |
| Phoenix |
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix |
6 |
34 |
| Florence And The Machine |
Lungs |
7 |
26 |
| Empire Of The Sun |
Walking On A Dream |
8 |
42 |
| Passion Pit |
Manners |
9 |
37 |
| Bat For Lashes |
Two Suns |
10 |
22 |
So me and the NME don’t agree… At all. I listened to the top 10 and was not impressed. Methinks their writers are just trying to one-up each another in an inter-office indie battle of artfullness, disregarding what the listeners think.

Backstory:I got my Greencard in 2006…and just became eligible for Citizenship this year.
So many people think that you get handed a passport a few months after you marry an American. That could NOT be further from the truth!!
The Greencard process involved an expensive Lawyer, and Mike proving that he could ’sponsor’ my Residency. We had to produce tax Returns and paychecks, I had to go for a physical to test for AIDS and Tuberculosis, and then we had a swift interview where we had to prove the validity of our relationship.

While I realized long ago hat JCPenney was a mecca for under-whelming, roughly-made, mass appeal clothes, I do find myself in there from time to time. Whether it’s to get to another part of the mall, or if I am vainly searching for that perfect party dress or cheap sandals, I have the chance to scan the racks.
Usually, the stuff looks like this :
Polyester Profusion
But I was pleasantly surprised this weekend in Fort Myers, when I saw two new diffusion lines: I heart Ronson and she said…
The stuff was cute, fresh and looked pretty solidly built. I grabbed a she said bustier (Fall’s menswear trend) and an I heart Ronson loose belted tunic . Me likee
Obivously, it does not HAVE to be worn in such distress

Yeah baby, Oscar is wild!
Wildly funny. No seriously, the pun is a disgraceful homage to Wilde’s wickedly witty play…that I just discovered…”The Importance of Being Earnest“.
It’s one of those ubiquitous literary titles that makes you groan with the memory of 11th grade English, lengthy essays and head-bashingly complex prose. But banish that thought! It’s hilarious, light-hearted and silly. And it reads easily, despite being a play.
