Sweaters and Web Sites: Aren't They All The Same?

by: Walt McClure
Beware: Thinly-stretched metaphor ahead. Proceed with caution.

A Web Site is a Web Site is a Web Site....right?

No. It's not.

That's settled. Let us move on to more pressing issues:

Visualize. A sweater. Red and green. Whoa. Horizontal stripes with alternating colors. Causes rapid eye movement and non-physical concussions. 3-Dimensional pieces - stitched in to add some flair to the viewing experience. Shame. Its the crowning piece of someone's holiday ensemble. It may be hard on the eyes of one's daily acquaintances, but as long as they wear it with pride, they c- Nope. Still ugly.

In my own fashion-challenged opinion, there are two types of sweaters: Ones that scream bloody murder from 50 yards out and ones that are...."nice" and all seem to look quite similar. Most of us have the necessary survival skills to stay away from the "bloody murder" sweaters. The trick is choosing the right "nice" sweater. Some of them are lemons, prepared to unravel as soon as you walk past an erect light-switch, but its hard to tell (for some) because they all look so similar.

Seems to me that sweater designers are "borrowing" ideas from other (more capable) sweater designers in attempts to reach the highest plateau of sweater success. Hmmm. Before long, the top selling sweater designer has dozens of competitors, all peddling the same TIRED design, all at different prices and smothering the racks at Macy's. Some of them are well made, some not. Prices aren't necessarily on par with quality here.

Let us digress.

Sweater metaphor unraveled: Not all web sites are created equal. Though this seems painfully obvious, you could still be suckered into contracting a horrible website just because it has a pretty design, if you're not careful. Choose a designer wisely because looks can be very deceiving. Not the looks of the designer - that you can pretty much make judgement on right away.

Just remember - design and function don't always walk into the sunset, hand in hand. In fact, sometimes design lops off function's writing hand and runs into the sunset alone. Tragic.

Oh. - and what is that stringy thing hanging from your sleeve?

Get Three Thousand Channels On Your P.C.

by: Cathy Barela


How would you like to have 3000 channels to watch indefinitely for less than you are probably paying for one month’s cable bill? That’s right. Three thousand channels! Channels from countries all over the world. It really is quite amazing how far technology has come. The farther we advance, the more we can enjoy the good life. Seems we have come a long way!

Now I can watch 3000 channels from all over the globe. I never have to miss a professional game or fight because my cable company doesn’t carry the station or has it blacked out in my area. I can watch it right on my p.c. You can get daily news on what’s happening in almost every country in the sports world. Do you like to watch the soccer, baseball, basket ball, wrestling, tennis, or boxing? These are just a few of the sports you will have access to. How about cooking exotic dishes from different countries? Do you like to keep up on famous people and their lifestyles? Famous people come from all over the globe. If you are planning a vacation or move to another country, you can find out all about it before you even go. You can find out about the currency, living expenses, languages, traditions, weather and too many other things to mention.

One of the things I really like about having access to so much information is the education it provides for my children. Whenever they have a report to do at school, all of the information they need is right at their fingertips. Aside from that, they will not grow up in ignorance. They love to see what’s going on around the world. They are learning about the wars in the middle east and other countries as well. They are learning about the lifestyles of people everywhere, famous land marks, traveling, geography, and fun things too; like movies and music that we don’t have access to here in the United States. Sometimes they sit for hours sponging up all the great and inspirational things they see. At times I have to tell them, “Ok. You’re time’s up. Now it’s my turn!’

It is really quite incredible to have access to such an abundance of information. It’s like traveling around the globe from your own p.c. It has opened up a whole new world for me and my family with the click of a mouse!
