I saw Iron Man on Thursday night and it rocked me like no other movie. Some would say I was exaggerating if I was to claim it to be the best movie ever, but I won't comment on that.

Update on my site wide goals:

• Add Services and Pricing page
• Create new portfolio
• Update portfolio

That's right, I am all done. Sure sure, this was a small list, but it was also a list I had not completed for 3 months until I posted it the other night and that really motivated me to com plete it. There will definitely be more lists to come.

After spending the past week working from home full time, I decided that I should probably get my site up-to-date, so I set a few goals for myself:

• Add Services and Pricing page
• Create new portfolio
• Update portfolio

So far so good, I am still writing the copy for my services and have a couple portfolio pieces to drop in from my last job, but everything is coming right along.

A Florida family has recently been terrorized by an evil Elmo doll who threatened to Kill their son, James.

Here's the cool stuff I ran across this week:

• Ever wonder what Google would look like if Google had to design Google to be indexed by Google, or just like the word 'Google'? Check out Mean Gene's rendition of how Google would look if it designed it's UI for Google.
• A List Apart just published the results from their first Web Design Survey, it's very enlightening.

That is what the AP is reporting, but I think the findings are dubious. Consider for a second that it's true, though I am in no way trying to prove that statement wrong, is it because there are more deadly staph infections or because fewer people are dying from AIDS? My guess is that it is the later or at least a combination favoring fewer AIDS deaths over increased Staph deaths.

What I have been reading this week:

• Flex and PHP are cooler than a mullet, says Cal Evans at the Zend Developer Zone
• Learn jQuery in 30 minutes or less with Nathan Smith's primer at Digital Web Magazine
• Brendan Sinclair tells us to Learn to Love Complaining Clients over at Sitepoint

If you aren't familiar with the BPDs stunning and exemplary action against terrorism-slash-advertising from a few weeks ago, catch up. Now, they are taking the fight back to terrorism in the form of exploded traffic counters.

So, if you haven't heard already, four year old Stevie Long has been credited with saving his family from two armed burglars. Am I the only one who doesn't see this has behavior that should be either rewarded or repeated?
