J.Crew Follies December 17th, 2008 @ 8:10 am PST
I am astounded by how bad the J.Crew website is. The .jsp filenames indicate that the site is Java. It is tragically slow and the senseless implementation of AJAX makes it near impossible to use. It’s almost 2009! How can there be so many horrible shopping cart systems on the ‘net? And for such a […]

WordPress Tags March 26th, 2008 @ 8:47 pm PDT
I was very happy to see that the WordPress developers included the ability to “tag” posts. For a long time I’ve been using my own bastardized version of Bunny’s Technorati Tags to add tags to this site. A few days ago I decided to bite the bullet and convert to using the tag system that […]
Blue Cross of California Member Registration July 10th, 2007 @ 6:52 am PDT

A day or two ago I was pinged by a co-worker from my previous job. He wanted to know why, during its recent redesign, I didn’t include keywords in the URLs of the pages on a site I originally built a long, long time ago. I told him that there was no concrete evidence anywhere […]

MTV completely redesigned their site. They switched from all-Flash to (gasp!) all-HTML. Brilliant.

A Short History of DavidGagne.net November 1st, 2006 @ 8:58 pm PST
I have been planning to add an “About” page to this site for about four years. Everybody who’s anybody has an “About” page. People who visit and know not what a blog is must wonder what this site is “About”. I just never seem to get around to it. I have no idea what this […]
