re: October 1st

I am totally clueless as I've been AWOL due to work.

I can't keep up with scoring much less blogging these days - but I'll try to do a best-of-the-best shoutout to make up for lost time at some point - there's been some good ones lately.

Another pointless "my favorite" blog....

to highlight some of my fave designs, and tees I think deserve printing...

My mom, the technophobe, needs a new cell phone. Her current phone is a really old Nokia, the batteries are getting to the point where they won't hold a charge - and they are no longer sold.

I went with her to Cingular - and their current no-frills phone is a total piece of shit.

She hates change... this is making her grumpy.

So, I thought you fine folks might have some good phone recommendations for me mum.

*Cingular is her current provider, she's not against switching, the contract is up, so she can switch with no penalties

**she wants larger number keys - she really really hates the itty bitty keys and touchscreens - she wants big seperated buttons

*she also prefers the phone itself to be larger - a flip-phone or slider might be OK - she hated the three inch long candybar style

*she does NOT want a camera, MP3 player, bluetooth, internet access, or any other stuff like that
(if she has to, she might grudgingly accept one with extra features and turn them off - but she doesn't want to pay a couple hundred dollars on features she doesn't want)

*the cell phone is pretty much "emergency use only" and all she wants is to be able to make and receive calls that are clear and hold their signal

*it needs to be current enough that batteries and chargers are available - and so i won't have to go through helping her get a replacement again anytime soon


I have no idea how long I'll let this run - she uses her phone rarely, so it's not an immediate thing - but it needs to happen soon.

My next STPs to the person who comes up with the best match.

If she likes it, can find it, and actually gets it - you get my next 2 sets of STPs after that for a total of 3.

I should check my mail more often:

Feb 6 8:15 am
March 4 5:55 am
March 6 5:59 pm

If those times are right, it looks likely to be 3 different people.... So thank you all!

love the new Critiques section

(edited 2/08)

but - as more has been added - it is very difficult to navigate

any comment bumps that design to the top of the list - therefore bumping Down newly added designs

this is unfair to newer designers who get skipped over because people don't recognize their name and thus they get fewer responses - posts with more responses in general get more attention... vicious cycle...

people can see what they have commented on as "participated" - but we cannot screen to see only the designs that are new

could you PLEASE add something that would flag NEW critique posts - so that newer designs don't get lost when older posts are bumped with comments

it shouldn't be difficult to add a script that remembers if you have opened a particular page, and can flag or color code those designs that you have not yet opened/viewed

or, in lieu of that - keep them i order of time posted - so that people can keep track of designs by commenting and sorting by "participated"


AND

there has been a call by the designers to have the ability to Delete their critiques, once they have subbed them or decided to drop them - and i can see where they're coming from on that - keeping them indefinitely would only sop up bandwidth anyway...

thanks

P.S.
anyone who agrees - please help bump this until there is an official response

i have passed the 30,000 mark....

i think this is a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder mixed with insomnia and boredom...
