Learn Some Card Magic
A visitor, goes by the name of XeNoT saw fit to point out that I have boring colors here. Clearly, XeNoT was unmotivated to read my early post Designing Badly where I address this issue. 
In any case, I was tempted to respond that indeed while my site is boring to the eye (I consider "boring" a compliment, by the way, in the overall spectrum of comments that could be made), I happen to be a content man. Of course, then I realized two things, a) that was bullshit, and b) worse, my use of CON-tent could be mis-read as con-TENT, and then where would I be?
Anyway, real live work has kept me woefully distant from the computer recently, so I thought I would respond to my situation with some real live (you know, recorded live, like TV) video. This is a card trick, and it's very easy to learn, and it amazes people (mostly people who really want to be amazed). So I thought I would demonstrate it here, and teach it to you. Even if you don't know your way around a pack of cards, you can learn this. And, if you aren't inclined to be entertaining, the great thing about card tricks is that it is every bit as easy to be annoying, and that's always entertaining!
Well, that's it. Download the video and begin your career as a per-feshinul card magician. I suggest downloading the hi-res version if possible because the low-res sound and video are really no good. Hard to see and hear. In fact the whole things was a quick take in dim light. Hope you enjoy it anyway

. Doesn’t it amaze you when someone has the nerve to critique your site as well as leaving a link to theirs, so that you can follow it and just be dazzled by their “asshat” design?? Personally, I love the colors you’ve chosen Oscar. Very easy on the eyes. I’m entitled to my opinion as well right Oscar 
??
A smug grin here as I could download it (it was a long download!- and I am on cable)… anyway, looks good but I didn’t leave it going long enough to actually learn the trick, so instead of annoying people and amusing them I guess I’ll have to do the mundane and clean up.
