Laser Print +Krylon+acrylic
all set on top of frame built to be sent**.
Starting with a found image of obama smoking, with an acorn on top where his socialist fidel castro hat should be was more then enough inspirado to get this one going.
**(The framing of the piece is a 1″thick 12×11piece of scrap bubble wrap.)

So the specs are in on the internet. And the fastest growing userbase in the tubes is no other then communist china. Amazing to think about the social network budding space of our norcal bust of the past… is now majority usage by mandarin speaking china residents.
so… thats the overall sketch of what the new emerging demographic of web users is surging towards. They’re chinese. Not middle americans who have moved WAY past their dial up modem past of 2004. Our rural and lower class system in america has already bought in signed up and jacked in. Now its our elders turn. The great nation with the great wall. They will be expecting RIA’s, Phones and embedded linux tv’s. All with engaging interfaces and detailed spec list showing why they are better then the 5trillion knockoff soft and hard goods being cranked out of their factories.
For years china and other asian markets seemed fine on producing our tech but not adopting it. That generation of prehistoric’s that were here decades before the techie’s started telling us how we cant live without the new 3Bs model of whatever… well they’re dying off. And the next gen kiddo’s all have phones with wimax, flash interfaces and webstreaming cameras giving them constant “face to face” connections across the globe.
So what about the mobile web in these new emerging markets? well… its stronger and deeper b/c some users never have a desktop. The new user from 10yrs-24yrs old, their first moment with tech could have been a smartphone. not a beige mac, or a green CRT with DOS running like a boss.
These kids. What will they want. How can we push their envelope as the devigners before the envelope is even folded and had its glue applied?
cant wait to find out!
Browser, of course.
Its tough to decide what browser to use these days. The solid choices are out there in groves. It used to be an easy fight for mozilla or opera to dominate. now there is safari and chrome in the mix.
The choice isnt very clear for me anymore. I am a definite hater of all things microsoft and i think the main reason is Internet Exploder.
The m$ft entrance to the browser war is always years behind and horribly inaccessible to the way i work. Now i have seen multiple sites and petitions campaigning against the usage of IE.
So i know im far from alone on my hatred of IE… but what about my dilemma over delegating a default? Do i have some online brethren in an already formed club for such an affliction? Is there any hope for me to stop downloading trunk builds of browsers hoping for a few more seconds off my default tab set load time.
opera,
safari,
firefox,
flock,
iceweasel,
konqueror….
all need better UI’s so it doesnt really matter i guess.
