Css-based design in 60 seconds

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

At my day job I have a new site to create for a client. Being that it is a straight html, brochure-style website - I decided to put my css / xhtml skills to use and usher the website into the 21st century. I screencapped the process at regular intervals and wove them together in a fancy animated gif you can view here. See how a boring, black & white, html page becomes tranformed into a colorful, pleasant website.

Mesothelioma & Google?

Monday, May 2nd, 2005

Mesothelioma and Google a strange combo...Mesothelioma is one of the deadliest diseases known to man; the average life span of an inflicted person from the time of diagnosis until death is less than 6 months. It’s a disease that strikes approximately 3,000 United States citizens each and every year - a disease that is almost 100% preventable; the only known cause is via exposure to the deadly mineral Asbestos. It comes from inhaling the particles and dust of the asbestos as it decomposes. Asbestos fibers have been used in building materials, auto parts and other products for decades, but are linked to cancer and other diseases. Hundreds of thousands of injury claims have forced many companies into bankruptcy and now a $140 Billion bill is being milled over by a committee in the senate. This bill would compensate those affected by Mesothelioma and the lawyers are all over it. So are the google-mongers. So how does a deadly disease intersect with the internet? What could they possibly have in common?
