Googlism
What does Google think of you? It's pretty acurate on it's impression of me and my company.

Apple Switch Ad
You gotta check this out whether you're a Mac user or not, it's a good laugh. Found via Zeldman.
Unrelated to any of the above, an Apple âswitchâ flick that thinks different is now making the rounds. A second copy is available on another server. No doubt many copies are available on many servers, though perhaps not for long. Thanks: Dori Smith and Todd Fahrner.
Dreamweaver MX Certified
I passed a test today to become a Certified Dreamweaver MX Developer. I got an e-mail from Macromedia a few months ago, looked at the sample questions (PDF) and figured, what the heck. The sample questions looked so easy (basic HTML stuff) that I didn't even study. After the first 5 questions on the test, I was shittin' bricks since most questions where related to Dreamweaver and such things as the Asset Panel. I use Dreamweaver a fair amount, but only as an HTML editor, and I hardly ever use the advanced features. So when I encountered a bunch of questions about how to do such and such in Dreamweaver, I just answered with a WAG. I thought for sure I was going to fail - but I passed!
