13 The Matrix, part 1 and the transition to part 2 (u

I know it’s not a TV series, but I think it matches my Webdevelopment career best. Starting off with a casual everyday life, then plunging into the deep, chaos and confusion all over, ignorance until slowly the goal and message starts to become clear to me. Then slowly I improve my skills into all relevant fields until… well, that’s where the similarities end. I’m in no way the Coolest or Strongest guy in this field. But the path that Neo took all the way to that point resembles my web-life very accurately.

Good article, btw. I like the style with which it was written. ^_

14 On With The Show This Is It.

“What show best describes my web design career?”
Looney Tunes.

Why…
‘cause it’s chalk full of colorful characters and it’s always changin’.

Just when you get comfortable in a job, you get sucked through a giant wormhole to a completely different place with a completely different bunch of people.

OR…just when you get comfortable working on a project, you get sucked through a giant wormhole to a completely different project with a completely different client and requirements.

17 Futurama

the title says it all. You’re either a Bender or a Dr Zoidberg (hooray I’m useful)

also The Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi is an awesome read. Might take you 2 full reads though to start to understand its meanings and to put it to real world situations.

…because it’s always the little, tiny details that end up being the biggest matters, be it having to use a descendant selector to hide something from IE that corrupts the work, or a colon where a semi-colon should be (my typing is pretty lousy!)…

20 Blatant Lies

I just finished LMAO. I remembered a myth from about 8 or 9 years ago that Mountain Dew made women pregnant. Of course I was about 6 (I’m the youngest web developer, I’m 14). This is another lie:
“ALA is a serious webzine”.
Comparing Web developing to a TV show makes me doubt that. Nonetheless I thank you for reminding me. My favorite blatant lie:
“There is a small tribe in Nepal that speeks fluent Welsh”, or maybe “People who die in Nepal have a 70% chance of rising from the dead”…Or lordy lordy…
