First time I saw a bidet, I peed in it. Didn't know any better. I thought it was what a urinal looked like in Europe.

UT, do you get compensated for a click?

I think this was the first song I ever learned from start to finish. Great parenting, mom. (no, I didn't call her mom)

I still sing it in the shower sometimes

Going to client review today is the place where I et those clams: http://tokeninternet.com/trevi

This one is weird, because I attempted to set the menu up with the same font that they used for the print menu. This involved a state-of-the-art practice known as font embedding; before showing the website, the browser downloads the font it's set in.

But that means it doesn't work in IE, because Microsoft set out to make embedded fonts work in a different way from the rest of the world.

Fuck Microsoft!

Adding icing to that sweet, sweet cake was the Yellowbook guy standing over our shoulders as I demoed. He had, no surprise, nothing to say. In fact, the guy slapped him down at one point, saying "Don’t even try. You can't match this, or the price they're charging." I overheard that the YB guy’s charging Trev $7K for a YB ad, so I added my own dig, "And it won't cost you $7K." Sinful.

Hey UT, do you guys have like a little flyer or business card or something? I keep going to various retail places and thinking about you guys, but I don't know what to tell them other than to go to the website, and I'm sure they forget right after I leave.

Undertoad · 04-08-2011, 05:58 PM

We do have this but right now it's completely focused on presenting a "leave behind" after a salesperson visits. Let me get back to you, I will be developing a shorter piece. And thanks!

May I suggest, as part of your "mission statement," you adopt the Union Plumbers Guarantee.

It's not great, it's a little mussy. I only allot so much time per design.
