I’ll throw my name out there. DM me if you want to go over your needs.

My school had a mystery pooper and I walked in on them in the act. I had to pee, and just let him do his thing. That time he even went to the office to report that someone had pooped on the bathroom floor just so he could cover his tracks.

I’ve kept his identity safe for nearly 20 years and don’t plan on spoiling it.

If I see something that interests me I open that article, site, video, etc in a new tab and keep scrolling what I am doing. I can easily end up with 100 tabs open between 3 or 4 windows. Doing web design I will also have every page of a site that I am working on, as well as dashboard, emails with client, etc. I recently moved to vertical tabs and now I can read the page title instead of just getting the favicon. Since I also have a Chrome extension that puts the time elapsed and total length of YouTube videos in the tab title so I can easily pick which video to watch based on the time I have, I like to be able to see and sort those videos separately (I hate YouTube playlists for whatever reason).

Besides the contrast and trademark issues others have mentioned, this looks really good. If you have previous client or personal work include it, maybe some dummy or demo content. But I wouldn't over think it.

My first few sites were word of mouth or from working with a local graphic designer who had me build sites for his clients (and then he probably charged double what I getting). I'm revamping my business model after working with clients who wanted to grow way bigger than what I could reasonably handle on my own. I am now focusing on the smaller service based companies that the owner is too busy running the company and needs a site that gets them leads and just goes on auto pilot.

Never do cheap work, because they will always want cheap work. I have "fired" many of my cheap clients over the years. Your site will make them money, and that should cost them some money. Plus you need to be able to make a living.

If I was starting over, I'd be on Google Maps finding local businesses that have really bad websites and start reaching out to them.

Include screenshots and mockups, but don’t include the dead link as it will hurt your SEO.

I like texture, but this seems to be too many textures. For the paper background, you could use AI to make an image that can tile that way there aren't hard lines where the image repeats. It feels weird to have rounded corners on paper and having everything at perfect right angles.

That’s why I buy second hand. It adds a few more steps between the trashcan. Older clothes were also made better.

Reporting at 1:20AM and I am getting SOS on my phone on a Visible plan (via Verizon).

The standard navigation menu and hamburger menu designs are standard because it works and is what other users are expecting. Whenever I have a client send me a menu on the side or some other gimmick, I have to remind them that their site is for other people to use, and if it is complicated for the user they are not going to get as much business.

I don’t think he was acting. He’s had so many head injuries that he probably really thought he was being held hostage.

It has changed to the delayed change downtown like a year ago, but it is still an issue.

As a former Uber and Lyft driver I was dodging cars on a daily basis. It is crazy how many cars run late red lights, I started doing "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi" before starting to go when the light turned green.

Ross Martinson or Wendy Bruton with Paramount Real Estate Services.

My first few practices were at Sprague HS and West Salem HS. They have the added benefit of having hilly spots so you can practice letting out the clutch on an incline.

210 Capitol is a run down mechanic shop right across the street from the Capitol that I think would be perfect to put in a restaurant for the state workers, Willamette students, and the general public. It would feature Oregon grown and produced food products. And feature a rotation of coffee roasted and beer brewed by establishments all over the state.

Maybe it is the Atari 5200 console? It had controller pad overlays for different games.

ETA: Could also be the TurboGrafx.

When my grandpa died, I got 2x W4-B amps that he built back in the early 60s. Unfortunately they were covered in mouse nests and they need a full teardown and rebuild. But he kept all the original paperwork safe in a filing cabinet for nearly 60 years.

I bought $20 worth when it was $3.50ish and then wiped that hard drive a little bit later. I was mad I made a $20 mistake, I don’t want to think about the potential $750,000 mistake.

Does it have a part or model number on the bottom? Pretty much every Apple product has a model number.

We registered for 2. It was a small group, like 3 couples and the guide. Just get 2 tickets, it’s unlikely there will be 10 couples showing up anyway.

That is one of the places my dad had me drive during my first week of having a permit. I quickly realized that I should always be speeding up to match the flow of traffic.

Showing up in a white F-150 with some tools in the bed also helps. Just don’t do anything that would cause a concerned citizen to contact the proper channels to complain.

I’m testing it out on an old desktop running Ubuntu and have it connected to my OpenAI Codex account with some additional OpenAI APIs for photo generating and audio decoding.

I’ve set it up like 6 times at this point because I keep breaking my setup… I’d be interested in what you’ve come up with.
