I have some questions for you. Don’t be afraid to answer them honestly.

• Would you like to learn Web Design from a master? How about from the guy who designed the award-winning weblog you’re currently perusing? From the guy his students call “cool… awesome… easy… helpful… clear… nice”?
• Want to go from your woefully deficient skills to creating a website worthy of a designer’s portfolio, in just 16 weeks? Want to earn credits toward your degree from an accredited college?
• Whether you’re a novice or an advanced student, would you like to hone your Web Design skills, using some boss Mac hardware and loads of professional software, in a really righteous Web Design lab, right here in town?
• Do you want to pay a small fraction of the tuition that universities and private schools charge?
• Want to take classes one evening a week, so they don’t interfere with your workaday schedule? Or how about one afternoon a week, so they do? (Either way, I fully understand.)

If you answered “yes” to these queries, you’re in luck. There’s still barely time to enroll in Web Page Design I at Oklahoma City Community College. In fact, I rather wish you would. If these classes don’t get a couple more students enrolled, the school will cut them! If that happens, the students already enrolled for them will be greatly inconvenienced, and you’ll miss out too. If you have ever thought, “some day, I’ll enroll in a Web Design class,” there’s really no day better than today.

I was checking my referrers, and found a rare treat.

“No More Mister Nice Blog” is written by one “Steve M.” Steve is the sort of blogger who “questions the timing” when two or more unrelated contemporaneous events happen, or even fail to happen. Like, how come Scotland Yard didn’t bust up the London terrorist cells before the Connecticut primary? No, I’m serious, he really wonders things like that.

Anyway, he’s that sort. You know the type. But Steve stumbled upon my Autorantic Virtual Moonbat yesterday (via the Amercian Spectator blog), and against his own inclinations, made a friend!

I thought this would be the stupidest thing ever, but when you click “RANT” it actually generates enjoyable imitations of early-twentieth century art manifestos (”I reject slime and occupation!”), which I don’t think was the point. Mystifyingly fitful use of all-caps, though. (”Unlike you and CONDOLEEZZA Rice, I am not in love with fur!!!!”)

See? “Enjoyable,” he says. And he’s right. Autorantic Virtual Moonbat™: It’s not just for Wingnuts!™
