Day 343: The Whole Shebang

Here's the damage:

• 10 HTML5s
• 4 CSSs
• 3 PHPs
• 1 TXT 
• 1 XML 
• 1 XSLT 
• 1 DTD
• 27 JPGs
• 4 PNGs
• 1 MP4

What does all that get you? This horrific Frankensteinian monstrosity I like to call my final project for my web design class.

All I have left to say is...

Day 342: A Sample Page

Since I got home from work today, I've been feverishly working on my final web design project. Most of it is still under construction, but I think there's one page that's done enough to look at, and it includes some neat JavaScript goodies that I made.

Visit that beautiful page now.

If it doesn't make sense out of context, just wait until tomorrow, when you'll be getting the whole complete and polished website as my make.

Oh, and the links may not work, because I haven't uploaded all the other pages yet. Under construction, remember?

Day 341: Feeling Sketchy

Today I used up most of my energy working on work and working on school. I only had enough left to do a little iPhone photo playing.


That vacant look in my eyes is the result of hours and hours of homework.

Day 340: A Banner Day

Today I spent many hours working on the design of my website for my final project, which is what I'll be feverishly working on all week. Well, until it's due on Thursday morning. I didn't get any whole pages done, but I did make some graphics that I'll be using for banners, so those will have to count for today's make.

My website is supposed to be for a virtual library branch targeted toward the Israeli American community, in case you were wondering.

It's a fun project, but extremely time-consuming. I know just enough about web design to spend way too many hours trying to figure out complicated little bits of code. But at least it's the kind of work that keeps me glued to my chair and forgetting to eat, not the kind that makes me pace the room every ten minutes yearning to do wash dishes or organize my sock drawer just to be away from it.

Hey, maybe I should be a web designer. If I got paid by the hour, I'd do pretty well.

Day 339: Apple Cinnamon Cider

I made homemade cinnamon vodka.


Vodka plus super cheap cinnamon sticks from Winco.


It's a pretty red color and smells very cinnamony.


I mixed with hot apple cider, and it's pretty good.


I wonder what else it would go with.

Day 338: My Darling Clementine

Today I bottled and sampled my latest infused vodka - clementine.


You know, those awesome little oranges that mean Christmas is coming.


It's Friday, and it's been a long week, so a good time for new vodka.


It tastes very good with cranberry juice.

Day 337: Another Sorry Excuse for a Make

Today my make is my research proposal. Lame, I know, but tough. I don't have even an origami or a haiku in me.


Isn't it pretty?

Now, where's the vodka?
