Amy Tucker (aka @Tastelikecrazy) tweeted a link to this everyjoe.com article about a dual-screen “booklet” that Microsoft is developing. After watching the video, I am a little geeked-out by the UI, but honestly, I find the interface to be more encouraging that anything. It hints to a new paradigm for computing and user interfaces. Today, I’d prefer a pencil and paper over my Wacom or iPod Touch. Tomorrow, I may prefer Microsoft’s Courier or Apple’s rumored tablet.

Take two minutes to watch this video and head over to Gizmodo for more details.

Ralph approached me about creating a website for his latest venture, RS Financial, Inc. He provided all the content for the website, allowing me to focus on the design and functionality of the site.

The site is hosted by Nearly Free Speech, powered by WordPress, with Kriesi’s Cubit theme, iStock graphics, and a Wufoo form. Utilizing these resources allowed me to charge Ralph less than $500. I even threw in a little SEO too.

I woke up ths morning to my daughter saying, “we counted TWENTY ladybugs on the table outside!” I thought to myself, “that’s a lot of ladybugs.” I had no idea how many ladybugs were really outside.

As the day progressed, the ladybugs congregated in the shaded areas, particularly on the surfaces where our cottonwood trees had dripped their sap. The photo above is of a wheel on our grill. I shot several more photos of the infestation. Can I even call it that? They may be insects, but they are ladybugs.
