Retired Geezer sent me a video. It got a “wow!” out of Mrs. Skinny so I’ll share.

I did a quick google news search and found a link to the story. Supposedly no one was hurt.

I blame the Healthcare System!

If the Healthcare system hadn’t advanced medical technology to the point where idiots like this are able to survive their own stupid mistake, these type of people would have died out a long time ago.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Skinbad.

My company is looking for a low-cost website designer, preferrably in the Northshore area of Chicagoland (where we are located). Someone remote, as long as they charge very economically, would also be considered.

Where do I start looking for such a person?

Michael Jackson does website design?

Its a little late now but a summer intern from an area tech school/college would have been the way to go. Other then that option I’m afraid you are going to get what you pay for.

In other words; TANSTAAFL!

We’ll pay. Just we’d rather not pay through our nose.

Although…”you get what you pay for” is making me consider convincing my bosses they should consider paying whatever is needed for a good, professional-looking website.

It’s only for information - this is what the company is about, these are the products we have, this is our plan, this is how to contact us. But it has to look good.

Go 2-for-1 with Lauraw on the web design. Pakistani rugs + erotic hump dancing = crazy $$$$$.

^ Mmmmmmm erotic hump dancing.

I’ll be in my bunk

I heard she spins a mean web……….then waits for some unsuspecting man to walk into it.

And then she suck the blood out of him. Gross!

Musli,

For what you are looking for you should look at graphic design or ad agencies as opposed to technical consultants such as myself. They pretty much have these kind of sites ’shrink wrapped’. If you get into e-commerce or you’re going to have a lot of dynamic content then you should consult a professional web developer.

Thanks, guys!

I should be paying Michael for all the advice IB provides. Y’all are on his staff, right?

And if you transpose the “A” and “I” you get “abib” which is the consonantal and vowel structure of the Hebrew word “aviv” which means “the season known as Spring”.

IB = Spring!
