Looking at all the sites nowadays that are “cool”, if you don’t know flash, you don’t get to be “cool”. Or so it seems. I guess good ol’ fashioned design doesn’t cut it as “cool” anymore.

I still think that good layout and masterful placement of key elements is “cool”. You Really don’t need flash. Unfortunately, everyone seems to want it. Of course with Flash MX, things are getting much easier to do. Back in the day, when um…flash didn’t exist, design was a challenge. Nowadays, it seems like “insert logo here” and blammo, you’ve got a flash site.

I need to brush up on my Flash skills. Man…I need more time. 

Ok, so this year I decide I will participate in the “Secret Santa” game at work. Now, I’m all for the Christmas spirit. But damn if buying a 5 dollar gift isn’t hard! Sure there’s plenty out there, but um… it’s tough to find something that’s Really cool. Someone suggested I check out Walgreens. Man, I never thought of that. All this time I was going to Walmart. ;) I’m thinking next year…No secret santa for me.
