8 Web Design Mistakes That Developers Make →
“An excellent website takes a particularly savvy blend of both great design and great code. Because of this, you often find designers having to figure out code and developers trying their hand at design…”

Facebook fun
Gee i'm enjoying these 'status updates' on Facebook! So many opportunities to hi-jack other people status's. Or is it statusii.
For examplorary...
Person A: Person A has had enough of people's bullshit!
My status reply: Daniel is getting Person A's bullshit and selling it on eBay.
or
Person B: Person B loves the sound of rain!!
My status reply: Daniel loves the sound of Person B listening to the sound of rain.
and today
Person C: Person C is going to take a long time to thaw out!
My status reply: Daniel will enjoy cooking and eating Person C once thawed.
See what i mean? It's just like a random person's finger poking out from a bush - you just gotta pull it!
Obama could have just thrown me under the bus. →
I looked at Obama. I was just horrified. And Obama whispered, ‘Katrina. Katrina.’ The question was on Katrina! So I said, ‘On Katrina, my policy …’ Obama could have just thrown me under the bus. So I said, ‘Obama, that was good of you to do that.’”
Things That Suck about Breaking Up...
There’s no-one there to smell your bad farts. You don’t have anyone to punch when you’re hungry. There’s no-one to blame the aforementioned farts on. Missing her smooth soft hair, that worked better than paper towels to dry your hands on. Missing her laugh and her water storage capacity. Not being able to wear her soft underwear. Except for the pieces you hid from her before she packed up her...
Shame on Tumblr!...
Well i think my short love affair may remain short, as i’m currently posting this from my email account - a feature they have - but as you can see from the post below, line breaks aren’t retained, let alone hyperlinks.. The piece of crap that tumblr is being won’t allow me to post anything! Just times out. Web page loads an error, and not my words from me to you. So i’ll...
Shame!
Those that know me know that i’m a committed man. I say i’ll do something, and then i do it. Simple. One plus two equals two. So it’d be no surprise to those people that i told myself last week that i was going to practise playing some songs i’ve written, everyday, so i can get good enough to record them. No, i’m not referring to these sorts of songs…...
Strange?
Is it strange that i keep refreshing this website, to see if i’ve written anything new?
Breakfast with Yo Mama Weekly - 12 →
Daniel finds it hard to express just why it is he finds it hard to hear people expressing their love for other people that love them. And Jason takes a stab at doing the toilet humour for today’s show. Did he earn his brown belt?
The Bogan
So i work at a place that holds weddings. Right there in the palm of their hand. So i’m about to leave, warming up the car, pull out and start driving off only to see a guy, all dressed up for the wedding an the tail end of a urination in the staff car park. As i drove past him my mind buzzed with all the things i could, should or would say… But my lack of loud-mouth-ness kept me...
Lazy Balls
Ahh excellent. Almost 6pm and i still haven’t changed out of my “pajamas”. I’ve hardly moved all day from the seat at my desk, and just polished off some tasty corn chips with Tzatziki dip. I’d say the most enterprising thing i’ve done today is figured out how to watch The 40-Year-Old Virgin DVD commentary on my laptop. I’m currently undecided as to...
flop ya mac out 22: boom time →
Jason feels the power and gets down on fat lappies. Daniel gives a lecture on the physics of car remotes and computer chips. Will Jason get a banana smoothy? All this, and potentially more.
Bird-tastic
Ha! My sister just thought, right, that my Dad using a texta was a bird! ‘Cause it make a squeaky bird noise!
Woo! I gotta take a cold shower or somethin..
Well i'm a whore →
And thanks to this great post explaining how to setting up a domain (with Godaddy) to point to ones tumblelog, i’d say i’m looking pretty darn sexy now. Welcome indeed, to macsacandcrack.com
It's all about the moosik
This morning on the radio we had no Jason and i decided to roll with the old music 1, 2. I usually really enjoy doing these shows, where i just play whatever music of mine i feel like playing. In the past i did a show where i played music from my childhood right through to the end of high school - it was fantastic - there’s something even better about playing songs out across the airwaves of...

“More boob!”
– possibly taken out of context from my mum, overhead on phone just this morning. And i couldn’t agree more that TV just doesn’t live up to what it used to show! Be.
Heavier than air →
Damn these articles pointing out why the macbook air is indeed a great and (r)evolutionary device… I’m so going to end up making more retractions of statements i’ve made on flop ya mac out podcasts…
Is that who you talk to at night Steve? Do you talk directly with God? Oh no, that can’t be right. Look at Apple TV v1.0. Maybe there was fuzzy reception that night....
Discoloured
I saw a red star tonight in the clear endless sky. In fact i think i saw two of them.
Someone should really fix that.
Nuddie
So whats the appeal of getting dressed with your door open, Daniel?
I get this question a lot.
See, the appeal is this:
It’s just like a game of basket ball. You’re there on the court, naked, and you never know when you’re going to get lucky!
Thank you.

Oh Heath..
So not 24 hours after the death of Heath Ledger and this beauty comes up as someone’s facebook description status thingy…
Tristan heard Heath Ledger died from alcoholism, too many cock sucking cowboys!!!
Gold, but scary how quick someone was to start searching for jokes!
Hold your glasses high folks.. Here’s to Heath! Cheers.

You know...
…people ask me,
Just how do you waste so much time when you could be doing so many of the things you’d like to get done on a daily basis?
And to them i just point. Not at them. I don’t point at them. I just point to my laptop screen. Which is displaying this post. And all the posts below it.
And to them i say,
See that post there? And all the posts below it? I made all of...

Cool that they’re doing this. It’s also cool they have this blog!
And today's winner is!????....
So it seems that i’ll be using tumblr rather that twitter becaaaause… Well Twitter asked me what i am doing, and i didn’t want to answer, and hence we have an outcome. Tumblr. One day we will find you an ‘e’.
Though i guess some other web 2.0 sites will make fun of you and your excessive use of vowels..
Just drank some green tea, ‘cause a friend said she’d started drinking it recently and as a consequence was feeling a lot more energetic. I knew it tasted like crap, and was reminded of that this morning when i drunk a whole cup/mug full. (i don’t say mug). You can quote me… (I mean, you can quote me on that). (Well i try not to say mug - sounds to American? Or something?) Mug. If i’m going...

Hey hey! danieljackson.tumblr.com was available!
Sign-up really did take like 5 seconds. But now as i type this, i can’t see the cursor.
I’m also signing up for a twitter account, so i’ll see which i prefer!!…. over to twitter to see how the ‘checking for other twitters from your list of email addresses’ is going….
