Just a Few Tweaks

If you’ve ever been involved in the design of a web site, or for that matter, any software system that has a human interface, this should sound familiar.

Please Make it look like Apple. I love it, but can you invert all colors?. Make it look like Apple. Do less with more. You can get my logo from Facebook. Can you make it pop. Can you put “find us on Facebook” by the Facebook logI need a website. How much will it cost can it handle a million in one go can you turn it around in Photoshop so we can see more of the front. Can you pimp this PowerPoint, need more geometry patterns can my website be in English? for do less with more I’ll pay you in a week we don’t need to pay upfront i hope you understand can we try some other colors maybe can you make the font bigger?. We don’t need a backup, it never goes down!.

In addition, can you rework to make the pizza look more delicious can you lower the price for the website? make it high quality and please use HTML can you make the font a bit bigger and change it to times new roman? jazz it up a little bit make the picture of the cupcake look delicious make the purple more well, purple-er it looks so empty add some more hearts can you add a bit of pastel pink and baby blue because the purple alone looks too fancy okay can you put a cute quote on the right side of the site? oh no it looks messed up! i think we need to start from scratch can we barter services? we try your eye, but can you change everything?

Turn it around in Photoshop so we can see more of the front can you turn it around in Photoshop so we can see more of the front can’t you just take a picture from the internet?

Although what you’ve given us is texty, we want sexy for I really like the color but can you change it. We need more images of groups of people having non-specific types of fun that’s great, but we need to add this 2000 line essay can you make pink a little more pinkish, yet anyway, you are the designer, you know what to do give us a complimentary logo along with the website. Can you make it pop.

The Nauga

Once upon a time, thousands of these small creatures noted for their exceedingly tough, yet resilient hides roamed the hills and valleys of Southwestern Pennsylvania.  Around the turn of the century, they suddenly disappeared!

   

Thursday Night Lights

It’s been said that LED Lights cast an orange glow on their surroundings.  So I decided to run a test to determine whether this is indeed a property of LED lighting.  The result is illustrated below:

As can be seen above, Incandescent Lighting does not have the “orange effect.”

So I guess the question is “Would you mind looking a bit “orange” in order to lower your energy costs?”

Veteran’s Day – 2017

Veteran’s Day brings memories of the four years I spent in the U.S. Air Force (USAF).  Back in my day, it was a different world as the Draft was still in effect.  One had two choices: do nothing and hope they would not get drafted due to a deferment or just plain dumb luck or volunteer, serve their time and get on with their life.

I chose the latter.  Upon fulfilling my commitment of 4 years, 0 months, 0 days as stated on my DD 214 I once again became a civilian.  I remember the First Sergeant telling me I should stay in the service as I’d probably starve on the outside since I wouldn’t be getting my guaranteed daily “Three Hots and a Flop.”

Back in my day, one did not have much of a choice of what career field they were assigned to subsequent to completion of basic training.  All of the personnel in my Basic Training Flight ended up with a medical-related AFSC; everybody in the Flight in the barracks next to ours were assigned to fields with motor pool AFSCs.

Following basic training I spent an additional three month’s stay at Lackland AFB to attend Basic Medical Training followed by three more months at Gunter AFS to attend Medical Administrative Specialist (AFSC 906×0) Training.

From there I was assigned to the 551st USAF Hospital at Otis AFB where I spent the remainder of my time in the USAF.

So what usable civilian skills did my four years of service to my country get me?

  • learned how to make a bed and wash my own clothes
  • learned that I had no desire to work in the food service field (KP duty!!!)
  • some basic first aid skills
  • the ability to type 20 words per minute.

If I had to do it over again, would I?  Probably!!
