Don’t show a picture of one product and the name of another. It’s just so…

Now don’t get me wrong, I know they’re both called Hero. But one’s also a Sprint.

Do your research before stuffing items in Photoshop and deliver your project. And do have a second pair of eyes around you before you push this live.

Cool 404 page

Tekkies went out for a beer, but somebody is definitely taking care…

Lesson: it is important to have a 404 page who either communicates something from a professional website to a user, or to have a funny 404 page to keep your visitors in site.

Screw professional designers, just make your logo bigger

Customer: Web professionals are no good when they come up with a nice, clean, web 2.0 interface for my site, if what I have in mind is a big logo, many different fonts, no whitespace, and a rainbow of colors. Just make my logo bigger since I’m paying for this, right?

Well, I had a lot of laughs watching the video on their page. Thanks, Alina.

A group of computer science majors were listening to a lecture about Java programming at a university.
After the lecture one of the men leaned over and grabbed a woman’s breast.

Woman: – Hey! Thats private, OK!?

The man hesitated for a second looking confused.

Man: – But I thought we were in the same class.

If programming languages were religions…

C would be Judaism – it’s old and restrictive, but most of the world is familiar with its laws and respects them. The catch is, you can’t convert into it – you’re either into it from the start, or you will think that it’s insanity. Also, when things go wrong, many people are willing to blame the problems of the world on it.

Java would be Fundamentalist Christianity – it’s theoretically based on C, but it voids so many of the old laws that it doesn’t feel like the original at all. Instead, it adds its own set of rigid rules, which its followers believe to be far superior to the original. Not only are they certain that it’s the best language in the world, but they’re willing to burn those who disagree at the stake.

PHP would be Cafeteria Christianity – Fights with Java for the web market. It draws a few concepts from C and Java, but only those that it really likes. Maybe it’s not as coherent as other languages, but at least it leaves you with much more freedom and ostensibly keeps the core idea of the whole thing. Also, the whole concept of “goto hell” was abandoned.

You can find more programming languages and their religion equivalents here.
