Need: More money
I really need to get more work so I can have more money so I can buy more shoes. Shoes are a sometimes-obsession with me, and I know damned well that if I was independently wealthy all I would do is buy more shoes, which would mean more closet space for storing said shoes, which would mean a larger living abode, so I could go out more often and wear more shoes.
Current shoe count (and, no, I can't believe it either): 48 pairs.
I used to be embarrassed by this fact, that I own more shoes than anything else. I don't...

I haven't been to the South by Southwest Conference for a couple of years, and I'm starting to think it's time for a return.
Of course, I don't actually want to attend the conference, which usually consists of a lot of talking heads trying to sound interesting in the face of subject matter that's anything but -- and I should know, because I've sat a panel or two and know what it's like to have all those glassy-eyed audience members IMing each other as you try to convince them that design really is fun and interesting, which it is but only...

Am I the only one sick and tired of rounded corners on everything? Can we please stop using them for every damned Web interface? They're perfectly acceptible for "Hello Kitty World" or "Barbie's Fashion Blog," but for almost anything else I deem them unworthy of further attention.
While I'm at it, I would like to suggest that we stamp out using dotted underlines for links instead of good old reliable solid underlining. I don't care if you want to leave off the underlining and only have it show up for hovering, but make it solid and forceful and gritty, for crying...
More → Need: Personal jump-starter.
I just cannot get going today, for some reason. The coffee is doing nothing, I am sitting at the computer with, like, three projects to work on and none of them are cranking my 'nads, as it were, and the sky is gray and the cat is sleeping and it's one week to Xmas and I just cannot get going.
I see the need for a personal jump-starter, some sort of contrivance that you hook up to... what? Your nipples? Nipples jumps to mind. You hook it up to your nipples and it does for you what it would do for...

Hello again, faithful readers. As you can see, we've gone and done it again, mocked up some farce of a web site masquerading as a thing of purpose and meaning when the only goal remains to make fun of everything we can before it all disappears in a wisp of nuclear fusion.
We stepped back and took a look at how the site was being used (and abused) and it occurred to us that most of the crap that used to appear along the sides was just that -- crap. Archives? Categories? Badges? What the hell for? All you want is...
