Unknown Post

With free roam given for this post on my blog, it took some time to come up with something to write about... so in the end I decided to post about how annoying the people that do all the lawn care/landscaping/snow removal at my apartment complex are.  Back over the winter, they hit my car and I had to fight them to get the money for repairs.  I talked to someone on their office a bunch of time and they kept "loosing" my fax. After weeks they finally paid me when I threatened to take them to court.  Today, on this very nice day there are like 5 of them here on the property.  One used the lawn mower, the other all stood around.  One is now using the leaf blower to clean the side walks and the rest are standing around.  There are other leaf blowers that I can see in there truck... now why wouldn't they all pitch in? Ug.... just a little rant about something that annoys me because on a wonderfully nice day like this, I would love to be sitting outside doing drawings for one of my classes, but they have been blowing off the sidewalk infront of my building for the last like hour.... I'm done now.  Hope everyone is getting to enjoy the nice day!

Flash Site

Hidden Heroes

Hidden Heroes was a very interesting site.  It seems to be a fully flash site with no other elements. There is a lot of information in a very well laid out way. Each time you click on something new, the bar rotates and the images roll over to show something new. Then there are multiple pages to each section.  Some are even interactive.  Example you can draw with the panicle.  This site is very fun to play around with and I'm sure you could for hours before you coulds see everything that is going on.  Even though the site is fully flash, it is easy to navigate and understand.  The only down side, loading it takes a while.

Beautiful or well designed item

In my bedroom I have a small, about 8 inches tall vase that I bought from Arizona.  It is a white clay vase that is hand made and hand painted.  It shape resembles that of a oval at the bottom then goes up into a neck that flares out at the top.  The white of the clay is the background, though the white is not a man made white as we know it on paper and things, it is a soft white.  Painted on the vase, around the bottom, are horses.  They range in color from black, brown, light brown and even a dark gray color,  These horses mesh with each other, over lapping and weaving in and out of each other with out getting their hooves entangled.  Each horse has a different pose of the natural gate of a gallop as they run free.  It is not clear where the heard of horses starts, nor where it stops, as all of the hand painted horses interact with each other.  I think this vase if both beautiful and designed well.
