Oh man what could that mean?  If you don’t know then you must not be that hardcore of a Lost fan!  If you are a huge lost fan like me then you cant wait for tomorrow for the new episode.  These few weeks of no new lost has me twitching from deprivation.  After soaking up the new podcast and previews that have been posted at lost.abc.com have gotten me itching even more.  So many questions left unanswered, so many more to come guessing the pattern of the show thus far.

If you want to see the bonus clip I am referring to in the title, go to Lostscape and find the right items to click on to trigger it. http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=lostscape.  Or find the right niche or longtail to google and find it easy.

 Edit: Seems this is no longer special, you can see the video clip on the lost page without having to find it.

Where to start?  I’m not sure, but if I don’t start i’ll never get there.  A problem for me sometimes is wanting to jump to expert without going through the novice stage.  I recently put off designing a site because I know I am not at the level I want to be.  I think my mindset is wrong because if I don’t start I won’t ever be able to design anything close to what some of the design masters have created.

I orded a few books from Amazon that came in yesterday, one of which is Designing With Web Standards written by mastermind Jeffrey Zeldman.  As of writing this post I have made my way into Chapter 5, I’m no book review expert, but so far I am pleased with what he has to say and would recommend it to anyone interested in standards based web design.  Since Zeldman has been around since the begining of the web and knows the old ways and the new and what it will take to progress, his view of web design is one I can easily respect.  Reading his book is definately helping me on my road to designing great websites.  If you have a book suggestion that will help me, feel free to leave a comment.

You can find out more about Jeffrey Zeldman and his great book on his website, http://www.zeldman.com.

I was fed up with my long hair being in my face and couln’t take it anymore. At 4 am I snappped, went into the bathroom with clippers and started shaving away. I hadn’t had a haircut in over a year and now that I look back I dont understand why I didnt just get a freaking hair cut. It may not have been the best haircut I’ve had, but life  seems so much better now that I can see. Click on the picture to go to my flickr and see the other photos.
