What is my favorite website? If you asked me based on which site I use the most, then Google. If you ask based on which site I spend the most money, then eBay. Being in the website business sometimes people would think that I'd have really nerdy hard to use sites that I go spend money at or use to look for things, but that is not at all the case. In fact most of the time I want to find a simple site that I can quickly find what I'm looking for and is easy to use. Most online shoppers are the same way. Many websites are designed by small companies and the nerd building the site is arrogant enough to think the site itself is the focus. They will build a site with moving navigation, and sound effects that try to say look at how cool this site is. They will create a site looks great in the process, the problem is it distracts the user from the real reason why they are there. It is like the annoying sales person that won't shut up long enough for you to actually ask a question about the car you want to buy. A successful website like Google is simple and completely focused on what you came to the site for; in Google's case searching. No distracting unnecessary design, just the basics. Based on my browser history here is a list of sites that I go to frequently in order of most used. If you look at them you will probably notice they are mostly very simple. (click read more)

Saturday the 18th of November around 3 P.M. my wife started setting out in the cold in front of Wal-Mart for me.  If you know my wife, then you know she hates cold weather.  She waited nine hours to purchase my Christmas present, a Nintendo Wii.  I've never owned anything that is this much fun to do with friends before.  Everyone who comes over loves playing with us, and the only multiplayer game we have is Wii sports which comes with the system.  My wife has proven once again that in addition to being ridiculously good looking, she is also the sweetest woman on the planet.  Visit her blog to get to know her.  

Yesterday I went to a huge lunch that was to show support for the US Marshalls Museum.  It was at the Fort Smith Holiday Inn.  It easily had a 1000 people cheering and showing what our towns history means to them.  I think we really showed the selection commity how much Fort Smith deserves the US Marshalls Museum.  It was great!  Except for the food, that kind of sucked.

If the museum does come to Fort Smith it will give  us more work to do around the office since we are building the site, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.  

I'm going to try and work on the look of my site over the next few weeks, but for now I've got to go back to work.   Thanks for Reading.
