This is my freaking life.

This reminds of A-Ha’s Take On Me video.

Today is one of these days…

I can definitely relate to this and have certainly felt this many a day.

This is from the agency AKQA. I have no idea how much planning goes into getting these in the right order. Very cool!

While I’ve never had to work at an agency that this high pressured about a holiday greeting. I’ve been on other projects with the same intensity.

Not sure who made this little parody but it’s pretty funny and good.

Funny story around this button. At my work we had a bell at the front desk, about a week after it was placed there it “walked”, and considering how small the company is, it walked out the door. My bet is on the disgruntled FedEx guy.

The bell was replaced with a Yahoo button. So whenever someone comes into the building, they press it and someone comes up front. I laugh each time because it’s the person going “Yaaaaaahooooo ooooooh” that resonates through the building. I wanted one!

I went on eBay and found only one up for bid. I clicked “watch this item”. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to spend money on it. Last Saturday I was sitting on the couch with Craig, I had my iPhone in hand while were watching TV. I got an email notifying me that the auction was about to end. I decided to try out the eBay app for the iPhone. It said 54 seconds remaining, I looked over at Craig and said, “Can I buy a Yahoo button on eBay”. He said, “sure if you want it that bad”. I refreshed the page, it said 24 seconds remaining, I figured at this point no way was I going to get this. I put in my bid, hit submit, and won the auction!

Now to most this not a big deal. For me though, it is. I sell mostly on eBay, when I do buy I go for Buy It Now auctions. Now I’m the happy owner of a button that says “Yaaaaaahoooooo ooooh” and my cats look around like the walls are talking.

In March 2006 I attended An Event Apart in Boston. I loved attending the conference and came away inspired and excited about my profession again. Following the event, the wonderful people at A List Apart created a survey. A survey that was much needed for the field.

This year they’ve done it again. If you work in the web field, please take a moment to fill it out.
