Surfing the internet is, in my opinion, an art. Most people don't seem to agree though and I can't blame them. For you see, they just don't understand. It is the same as most other things in life. Anyone can be taught something, but true talent is what makes a person great at it. I see this every day it seems. People who think they are salesmen, artist, politicians, teachers, designers.... the list goes on and on. Now I don't think I am a gifted Searcher, but I am going to keep trying to make sure I am at least "good" at it.

Moral: Even if you suck at something, don't give up. There is always someone worse at it out there than you.

Time sure seems to me moving fast these days. Things always changing for the better or worse. Family life changing, wife changing, son changing... even the cat seems to be changing (though she was always a little nuts). Work changing... even work at home changing (though not in the way I would like). With all the fast times and changing it makes it hard to find time to just slow down and do nothing in particular. But maybe tonight I can find that time to do nothing in particular, or maybe my luck will change before I even know it.

In regards to no personality I am amazed at how many people can get employment... that is even make it through the interview process at any establishment without having a personality. Is it really that hard just to be polite to the people who happen to be paying your employer for goods/services which then allows for you to be paid. I am not asking for too much, just maybe a little 'thank you' or 'have a good afternoon' or 'may I help you' or actually just any interaction would do. Just taking my money and never opening your mouth to say even one thing is a little rude. But this is just my point of view on the subject.

Been working hard to get more artwork and products loaded to the various shops I started. Found a new one that also sells skateboards like the one to the left with my Puppeteer charcoal drawing on it. More will be added as I start designing at home again as well as other items I will only be showcasing in this blog.

I had been hoping to start sharing websites I come across or information that might be helpful to people, but I just haven't made it there quite yet. The only site this weekend I did come across that looked interesting, but didn't get enough time to take proper look, was Sprout Builder. Hopefully will get a better change to check it out later this week. Other than that, I am just tired and burnt out.

And by the way, for those of you who prefer my previous format of distant rambling stories and such (like my sister for instance), I will continue with that in future posts on occasion. For now I am just trying to get into at least a habit of posting something more often than ever before. A somewhat difficult thing for me.

I feel the need to pose the question... Why Internet Explorer? Why is this the browser everyone feels the need to design for just because the majority of people have no idea that there are better, in my opinion, browsers out there. I honestly have no idea, other than lack of knowledge and laziness. Both of which I can't accept as excuses.

I bring this up mostly from annoyance. And I will admit a lot of the annoyance I cause for myself. Designing pages, testing pages, and finding those pages work right in all browser but IE. Now I am sure people will say those design issues I have could easily have been avoided, and they might be right. But why then do the other browsers all display properly but one. Why?

So to conclude my rant (there was more, but I lost a lot of steam) I will list for your information other browsers to use besides IE.

• Firefox - My personal choice
  
• Chrome - Google's new broswer
• Opera
• Safari
• Flock
• Maxthon
• Avant

Now artwork from ZinterInk is available as high quality prints with custom frames and many options. To see the current gallery just visit zinterink.imagekind.com. I have 19 pieces of artwork available for purchase at this time and will be adding more as I can.

If you are looking for something a little more custom I would be happy to see what can be done. Just let me know what you are looking for and I will let you know what I can do.
