The path of life, a quick overview
Written by Amatocianmonk
2010-04-27
Take this trip with me. Some peoples lives take them down the strangest paths. Its crazy to think about the infinite number of forks in our personal roads that we traverse every day. From the moment we are conceived we have already taken an infinite number of paths, purely based on genetics. We take countless more as we gestate, and by the time we are born we are a unique being. We then start our lives and take even more. Really think about it, and join me in a small discussion. In this article I talk about the paths our lives can take, and really hammer in the idea of how many possibilities there are. I then move into a discussion on the potential limits of the number of paths and potential enumeration of all possible human beings.

Do not design websites in flash!

Flash is not a tool for web design. Flash is a tool for making animations and applications, not websites. It is amazing for games, movies, video players, animations, and other little web trinkets. But when it comes to using flash to design a website, flash fails.

Flash is detrimental to SEO, navigation, usability, and the overall user experience. The content of the site will never be indexed by any search engine due to the fact that bots mostly ignore flash elements and cannot read the content on them and when it comes to SEO, content is king. Users have no back button, they cannot inspect elements, and if they are on a mobile or text-only browser, it is as if your site doesn't even exist.

This is an article list of the top ten reasons not to use flash for web design
