Well, if anyone is interested, Ben and I met last night, and our web project is coming along nicely. Ben outdid himself with the design of this website, especially considering that programming, not design, is his specialty. I know that no one actually reads this blog, but if you do stumble upon it, prepare to see the first website Ben and I actually finish.

P.S. I can’t speak for Ben, but I will say that I am somewhat flattered that people have taken the time to spam this blog.

In my pursuit of the ever elusive cheap iPhone (and by cheap I mean less than $399) I have recently frequented several online auction sites only to be appalled by what I saw. As far as I can tell, people who buy iPhones from these sites have either never actually been to an apple store, online or otherwise, or are entirely oblivious to the $200 price cut. I continually see people paying as much as $500 for a used iPhone. It truly boggles my mind. Why would you buy a used one, and have to pay shipping, and take the risk that the seller wasn’t legit and still pay more than retail for it? If anyone with in the sound of my cyber voice have ever even thought of doing such a thing, please stop now!

As I mentioned yesterday in the Morrise.com podcast, I spent last weekend in Ontario, California. I have often heard about In-n-Out burger and how great it is. I had never been to In-n-Out burger before this weekend, so I thought I would give it the old college try. The In-n-Out that we went to in Ontario was different than others because it was only a drive-through. They have a very simple burger menu. You can either get a hamburger, cheeseburger, or a double-double. I’m not sure why you’d get anything other than a double-double, but I guess people do. They put your order in a box and it is quite speedy. The burgers don’t seem to look much different than other fast food burgers. It appeared to have more sauce on it than other burgers that I have tried. The burger itself was a normal fast food burger. I didn’t think it was any better or worse than most other fast food restaurants. I personally like Carl’s Jr. better, but that’s just me. The fries on the other hand were probably some of the worst fast food fries that I’ve ever had. In short, I could see myself going there again, just for variety in food, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go there.

This is the first episode of the Morrise.com Podcast.

I was sent a link to this picture and thought it was interesting.

I had to do it. I had to be the one to post number 100. That may not seem like a lot of posts to all of you, but it is to me. By all of you, I really mean the various personalities that I’ve made up in my mind because let’s be honest, nobody is actually reading this blog.

Okay, so I’m colorblind. Well, technically I’m not color “blind,” but I’m color deficient. That means that there are a few colors out there that I don’t see as vividly as other colors. Some colors, such as browns and greens, look similar to me. No, this doesn’t mean that I can only see as well as a dog. I do see colors, just not as many as you see. I know it’s fun to poke fun at people like me and I enjoy the jokes as much as you. I just want you all to know that when people say they are colorblind they don’t mean that they can’t see color.

I’m pretty sure that this blog could be classified as a failing blog, probably because I’ve been at it since January and don’t have a single subscriber that I’m aware of. I guess that’s the way it goes. I think the main problem with my blog is that there is no standard topic or continuity. It’s just a bunch of random thoughts and ideas. Well, here’s my thought for the day: why blogs fail.

1. The creator fails to keep them up.
2. They have dumb or irrelevant content (like mine).
3. They aren’t attractive to the eye of the reader.
4. Nobody cares about the blogger.
5. The creator is illiterate
6. The creator has a perpetual migraine.

So you see, there are many reasons why blogs fail. I have outline several of those reasons. They are good reasons. I will continue this blog forever. That is how it will be.

I decided to make the site look a little cooler today. I wanted to add some gradients to the site, so I did. Do you like it? I am going for a more Web 2.0ish look. I think it looks better, so there. I’ve always felt like I can trust a website more when it has a layout and design that I like.
