So, at 5.30am I was trying to get my kid to fall back asleep (and my swaddling skill’s have yet to improve past the point where he doesn’t get one arm loose), and in the process found myself waking up, wandering over to check my email and my reader. In it was a post recommended by boagworld from A Beautiful Web titled “Time to stop showing clients static design visuals“
The post brings up a few good points, the first one being:
Demonstrating our designs to clients as XHTML/CSS pages rather than as static Photoshop or Fireworks has streamlined our workflow and helped us to set and manage a client’s expectations better than ever before.
And as an example the post points the reader to http://forabeautifulweb.com/demo/2008/09/21/index.html.
I love the idea and agree with the author that a working mock up is extremely handy, and leaves a lot of un-answered questions, answered.
But for sites mock’s that are complicated or too time consuming to turn a static mock into a working build, how practical is this? And when the site requires some Ajax work, how far do you take it if the ajax has to integrate with a database?

Ok, so i came across this site in a magazine (yeah, that’s right, i was reading something that wasn’t online – it had ton’s of art and pictures in it) called http://www.mono-1.com/monoface. If you’ve never been there before, i suggest you stop by when you get a break in the action. You can spend an endless amount of time trying to come up with different faces. Below is a screenshot of one that i came up with.

Whhhhhhhatttt – I can’t believe it. Here’s a car (albeit a desiel car) that can’t be sold in the US – http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_37/b4099060491065.htm?chan=rss_topStories_ssi_5
If ever there was a car made for the times, this would seem to be it: a sporty subcompact that seats five, offers a navigation system, and gets a whopping 65 miles to the gallon. Oh yes, and the car is made by Ford Motor (F), known widely for lumbering gas hogs.
I’ve seen ad’s for this car’s cousin for about 3+ years now (the Ford Ka or SportKa), and have been wondering if it or something similar, would ever come here. I like the fact they really don’t come out and say why, other than spouting off “But there are business reasons why we can’t sell it in the U.S.” – Sounds pretty generic – but until we get a car like this – here’s a cool vid of it’s cousin.

Many of us have been given the opportunity to “Choose Life” . Regardless of our political views, regardless on what we may believe in this issue or that one, we can rejoice in one common person.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has give us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade – kept in heaven for you. 1 Peter 1.3-4
And for those of my friends who don’t believe, consider this an invitation!
God Bless, Have a great first day of the week!
