Managing Editor

At the U of L, there is a group of us who get together once a month to discuss issues and projects related to web design. I have not contributed much lately, but I always enjoy the company. Anyhow, since we changed our name from Web Club to Web Forum (another post in itself I am sure), I guess I can discuss it publicly.

One of the things we discussed yesterday was starting a blog with regularly published articles. In truth, it sounds more like a webzine. either way, the Web Unit Manager decided there needs to be some editorial control and I was nominated to be the managing editor.

It does pay off to be overly critical and anal about grammar usage. It’s all about branding.

Anyhow, it should be interesting. The last time I had a position of any similarity was back in grade eight when I was assistant editor on the school newspaper. My editorial knowledge has certainly improved since then.

I guess it also means if everyone thinks the publication is crap, I take the heat.

Should be fun.

The king of all blond jokes

Now, I have heard some doozy of blond jokes in my time. I was even known to tell some pretty good ones too. However, this blond joke has to be the one to top them all.

Hilarious.

My first digg submission to hit the front page

My first posting on the front page of digg.com. It’s a good thing I took this screenshot. I refreshed my screen, and it was gone. Some jealous crybaby probably rated it poorly in order to get his posting up higher. It’s a joke sometimes there.

digg Front Page

You can digg it if you want.

Import Firefox Bookmarks into del.icio.us

The one thing that stopped me from using del.icio.us was the fact that I couldn’t import my current bookmarks. Now I can thanks to Julian Bez’s new del.icio.us import web-based ap.

Free domain names

RegisterFly is giving away free domain names. I have no idea how long it will last or how long the domains will be good for, but the catch is that they have to end in .be (i.e. wanna.be).
