What About This Design?

may 12 2009

Stick the latest episode top right where the profile photo is, and move the blog up above the fold?  

So many times I’ve been told my site is tough to navigate and it’s making me nuts.  And notice how I’m dragging my heels on the ads?  Sure my pitch is “subtle” but still, I’m probably gonna have to cave a little, I know I know.

Meet Quatchi

He’s 1 of our 3 mascots for the upcoming Olympics.  A Sasquatsch and his good pals Miga the Sea Bear and Sumi the Animal Spirit, cool eh!  Right now this one is sealed in an envelope ready for shipping.
And on an unrelated note… Stiv – a formal apology here that I’m so behind.  Coming soon, swear.

Why I Like Parkour

may 11 2009

On the left was taken while sitting at a red light.  See, it would have just used to be a fence around a parking lot, but with my new eyes it’s an easy hop over using those railway ties there.  Same thing for the photo on the right.  Fences and trees I’m okay at.  But see how it makes you look at things differently?  

And to me parkour is real-life-fit… you know, versus gym-fit… see:

Imagine I took a set of twins, gave Bill manual labour to do for three months, and gave Phil a dumbbell and gym routine to do for the same.  Then at the end of the 90 days I pitted them against each other in a snow shoveling competition, Bill would win for sure.
