I’m surprised I have anything to post this week. I’ve been so busy I haven’t been doing anything but working. It was nice having a three day weekend last week but I really paid for it this week. All I did was try to get caught up.
Fortunately, the weather has still been really nice. This is the longest I’ve ever gone into the summer without needing air conditioning. It’s nice to have the windows open and not have that expense.
- The Web Designer Declaration of Independence – This would have been more appropriate for last weeks list but I didn’t come across it until this week. It is written like the US Declaration of Independence and lists design grievances, such as MySpace and Internet Explorer.

Neither one of these videos is new but both of them make me smile. The first is of Matt Harding dancing in various locations around the world. This is the 3rd video has has done and in this one people dance with him. The second is Gogol Bordello singing Start Wearing Purple in the pouring rain at the Glastonbury Festival from two years ago.
i can go a long time w/o the air conditioner, but i have used the fan and the windows are open. been getting a nice cool breeze in the morning and early evening.
it’s nice to take a break from work and the computer, especially when the weather is great. winter will be here soon enough keeping us inside.

Hi Valerie – It really has been a nice summer. Lately when I walk into a
store with air conditioning I feel cold because I’m not used to it.
I am really trying to take weekends off – it’s hard to stop sometimes when the office is always in front of your face ;-)
Kim thanks for including my plugin on the list. I really appreciate it! As for Matt i really loved the video when i first saw it and the soundtrack is awesome as well. Nice list even though you thought you didn’t have anything ;)

Hi Stratos – You’re welcome. I love the Matt videos – they always make
me smile.
Heh – a good summer for me would be one where I had to use the ac every day :) I wish! We’ve had a few nights this summer that have been so hot it’s been a bit difficult to sleep, but mostly I always hope for warmer weather.
I’ve always loved the “Where the hell is Matt”-videos! I wonder if he’s still doing videos, or if he’s gone back to being just another lazy guy. :)

Hi Adrenalynn – I’m one of those odd people who prefer winter to summer. Of course, I live somewhere where winter is pretty mild. If I lived where you do, I might feel differently.
Matt recently did a funny talk where he was being ironic and showing how the videos were fake – he keeps being accused of that by idiots so in his talk he shows how much it would have cost for it to be a hoax.

The Matt video is awesome. My favorite was Gurgaon, India, its very close to Delhi, my hometown. :-)
Hi Manhsu – Is that the part where he is dancing with the women? I love that part.
yup, that’s the part :)

Eugene is awesome on stage. :-)
Hi Jim – Eugene is awesome – so goofy and energetic. I kind of wish he would lose the mustache though.
Thanks for the mention, Kim! Keep up the great work on your blog. I am really enjoying the content.
