dotnetnuke has the most functionality, but seems awful to use. N2 is simple, but few plugins. Orchard cms looks promising… anyone?

All bids are in! The three of you local printers who never responded (not even an ‘I got this’ email?): you just left money on the table!
Apple: I want an iPhone in orange, or red, or plaid. Releasing an iPhone in white is nothing special. No, an orange cover is not good enough
Hey local printers I’ve requested estimates from… It’s hard for me to give you money if you don’t respond to my emails!

In a windows phone 7 developer presentation at #sprintdev
Though, you also gotta trust Google with the content of whatever it is you want them to process. #sprintdev #tinfoilhat
Microsoft is talking about its windows phone 7 minimum requirements. It’s kinda nice that it requires it to be beefy #sprintdev
Of course, now he’s talking JSON, XML, LINQ, SOAP…. Yah, I don’t know much about that, but Blend makes designing WP7 apps easy. #sprintdev
Some of this cloud computing stuff google is demoing is kinda neat, especially in terms of mobile computing #sprintdev
I am the only “designer” in this Windows Phone 7 code camp. The presenter spent the first 1.5 hours showing us how to design tho! #sprintdev
OH: “I wonder if this ‘craftiness’ is just misperceived icgnorance.”
I just noticed all us U-Haul people at the Sprint Developer conference are wearing black shirts. Oi vey.
The typography on this namebadge is horrid! http://twitpic.com/3120z2
The wallpaper in this place is made of letters. cool. http://twitpic.com/30y0zz
Watching a presentation about digital signage stuff. Kinda cool, kinda creepy. They can register/track your demographic info using a camera.
I like twitter. It allows for direct (if brief) access to some really cool people that I couldn’t interact with otherwise.
I think the most subversive thing Apple announced today was its app store for the mac. Forget the software/hardware updates.
Working from @gankplank today! Come by and say hi!
I just used the phrase “icing on the cake of usability”. That sounds like something one of @ableandbaker’s comic characters would say.
Just got a little RFP (request for proposal) for a print job. Gotta dust off my copy of inDesign!
I don’t know if anyone has noticed this before, but this icon for lunch coupons in our corporate email is dog food. http://yfrog.com/65xyep
When designing a UI, be careful that you don’t just provide decoration. The workflow/function of your app is equally or more important!

.@jannrandall says “we went to the redwood forest in CA!” Boz replies, “You went to Endor!” I like who I work with.

If you call yourself a “solution architect” you owe yourself a punch in the face. #MeaninglessJobTitles

Maybe it’s silly, but I’m really proud that I designed the way we visualize storage room sizes on uhaul.com http://yfrog.com/6zvfxp
I watched the sunrise from my front porch while I ate my cereal this morning. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen sunrise!

Anyone else wonder why the IRS is in charge of a list of approved preventive drugs, and not the FDA?
Sometimes it’s hard to take your own advice and stand behind the quality of your designs when confronted about it. I rocked it though.
Clouds in the sky, dried rain on my windshield, temps below 100, and a song in my heart. I love Phoenix today.
I am a computer pragmatist. At home I use a PC. Fast as a mac pro, 1/3 the price tag. Doesn’t make sense to just buy into a brand image.
