The Week at Misc. Asst. - 1.28.08

January 28, 2008


I was about to cry about a lack of posts a few weeks back. Then I checked Misc. Asst. last Monday to find two brand spankin’ new posts! Boo yaa!

1/19
“Music and Your Past” - Mirza
What feelings do your favorite albums bring up? Better yet - what nostalgic memories do they bring back to life?

1/20
“I’m a Rabble Rouser, I Rouse Rabbles” - Tim
Rabble rouser Tim rouses rabbles about those who don’t rouse rabbles because it’s safer to keep the rabbles unroused.

Enjoy, friends.

Unmatched everything

January 22, 2008


So I see A’Mentele twitter’n (bragging, more like it) about his unmatched style front page feature. (His blog, Charisma:18, is very pretty. But he does that stuff for a living, so what do you expect?)

Then I click on my blog. Up comes my patchwork representation of blog design, adapted from someone else’s blog design, slow loading and certainly not CSS perfect.

And when I click on Misc. Asst., it’s even worse. That site’s got a lot of work to do.

I’m in over my head. So I ask, with pleading eyes…

…does anyone want to create a pretty blog for me? Pretty please?

Seriously. If you’re a loyal reader of BMOWP (or Misc. Asst.), talk to me. I need a new blog design. I talk about how much I love great design, then I struggle to create my own.

Help!

MiscAsst.com

December 27, 2007


Nearly a new year, an all new website.

As was promised, Misc. Asst. has made the leap from driscocity.com spin-off to full out Web site - now it’s a blog on its own, not a side folder on someone else’s site.

Nothing much more has changed, yet. The upcoming four day weekend could promise a new layout and some added search features. But until then, be happy with the new site: www.MiscAsst.com.

Update your RSS feeds as well: Misc. Asst. RSS feed

The Week at Misc. Asst. - 12.21.07

December 21, 2007


An early Christmas gift from your friends at Misc. Asst.!

12/20
“The British Identity?” - Mirza
-Is the decline of English football the fault of foreign managers? Does nationality play any part in how “British” the team really is? It’s a good question quickly answered by Mirza.

12/21
“Recomputing” - Corey
-Why would you ask an unfeeling, cold machine to recommend a book for you?

Don’t forget your thank you notes!
