3 reasons why flash cellphone websites make me angry!
October 24 2007
Hey Guys,
I had to post this article. It has been bugging me for a while now. Let's get started.
1. A large amount of cellphone Flash websites contain the most over-complicated interface and design. So much that you can pretty much pick up the actual phone itself and learn all about it first hand before the site even finishes loading.
2. Full blown Flash cellphone websites are WAY overdone! I would rather see a great hybrid site with easily attainable content and information. I hate the videos and photos of dancing models using their cellphones pushed in front of me. I just want to know the details: what are the specs, how much it costs and where can I get it. Which brings me back to point number 1. I waited that long for this stuff to load?
3. I never find enough information on these sites. It's like the information process was entirely overlooked and the site became an excuse for a Flash show down. Again, give me something to learn here. The target market can't all be Flash designers or dancing models.
And that's it for now. Don't get me wrong. I love a good Flash site, provided it loads fast, gives enough information, and is more subtly marketed. After all, I am a designer. It's just - sometimes these in your face sites are a bit too much. I don't like when I am told what to think. I like finding these things out on my own.
My favorite product site: apple.com
That's just my 2 cents. Thanks for listening.
Dancefloor Destroyer

Wow!
I just heard Dancefloor Destroyer by You Say Party! We Say Die!
All I can say is that I wish this song was longer. It really puts the emotional hold on you. I love a song you can feel.
If you're interested, find the album at http://www.yousaypartywesaydie.ca/. And the website is very well illustrated too!

Hey all,
I had to post this video from Cadbury Chocolate. Very effective viral campaign. It almost has nothing to do with the brand!

Zuny: make your life funny and easy

Hey Guys,
I had to post this photo of a baby's room book-end that my wife and I just purchased. I love the packaging, and the colour. You should check out the rest of the line if you're ever in Chapters. There is an Elephant, a Monkey, Penguins and a Bear.
I would have posted a link, but I couldn't find a website anywhere?
