I don’t know if you know this or not but the people that are Curley & Pynn were once fine sandwich artists at Subway. Sure, they couldn’t tell the difference between deli mustard and that yellow, family-picnic crap but now they’ve moved onto bigger and better things. I’m sure there are a lot of people in Plant City that would kill to have their services as opposed to just putting a wooden sign by the road telling them they have free firewood and kittens. It’s like choosing between a well-trained tattoo artist or simply asking your cell-mate to break out the ball point pens and guitar strings.

Most professionals get past the OMG FLASH TEH WHINZ phase by…oh…their second project. However, to see it represent the best of Florida’s technology efforts is so beautiful, so symbolic of the “I think I can!” mentality of this state - well, it brings a tear to my coarse, jaded heart.

And don’t knock Katie B - she’s just as symbolic of the personality of this state as that website.

When you mouse-over the monitor you get “quality of life”, but when you mouse-over they keyboard you get “higher education.” Wha??! Totally unrelated to the subject it’s linking to.

The only disagreement I have is having the scrotum hang from the panhandle. We live on a peninsula attached to a peninsula, which is akin to a penis being attached to a penis. So, maybe the scote should be somewhere in Punta Gorda? Depending who is giving the reach around. Discuss amongst yourselves.

The “corridor” is just a convenience for techies like J. Wales seeking to evacuate in a big-ass hurry. Unfortunately, the “corridor” is a one-way street.

I just spent ten minutes scanning that abortion-called-an-informative-website and have come to the conclusion that a real abortion would’ve probably been much cheaper. Wendy, I’d like my ten minutes back please.

My favorite part of the site: if you look at the right “wall” of the Flash real quick, you can easily get the impression that the High Tech Florida logo is a ginormous hurricane heading towards the map of FL to its left.

That’s my favorite kind of comment. “I know your post was about crap web design and glaring technofails, but dammit, I want to talk about Mexicans.”

Moving right along. I thought that I would remind the awesome PR team at “We still think an acid green liquid filled status bar is a perfectly acceptable loading animation for 2007″ of the following:

Led: Past tense and past participle of lead. Writing are hard!11!1!

Welcome to Florida, where not only are we at the forefront of technology, but apparently we are also at the forefront of race relations! Cheers to you, Katie, for your racist rant totally unrelated to either the original post, or to the ethos of this blog. We have plenty of readers without you, so please kindly fuck off.

Thanks!
