I'm sorry, I normally read/. and admire from afar. But I felt the need to post today as my heart goes out to MC Chris and his followers. This thread seems to be unjustly attacked by those feeling this isn't a piece of news for nerds or a parcel of stuff that might matter. I happen to disagree and commend he choice of the article if for no other reason than to raise awareness of rampant hipocrisy.
Apparently/. can have entire sections devoted to subsets of geeks, nerds etc. and no one minds. I'm into anime but is every nerd? I doubt it, yet we have a section here. We also have one called 'It's Funny. Laugh.' with a Monty Python foot. I don't think Monty Python's funny at all, but I understand others here might. Were it to contain a story regarding the comedy group I wouldn't be surprised and certainly wouldn't lash out at those wanting to discuss some related Monty Python news.
But I guess for those of us who like AdultSwim, and see nerd related value in its impact on the marketing world or influence in pop-culture and cross cultural mixing we should not discuss this on/. -- Wouldn't want to accidently expose serious nerds who like classic games and first person shooters to any other form of entertainment.
I think the subjects of MC Chris' works and the venues he chooses to appear in to give credibility to this article. And as a great fan I'll stay on topic here by asking a question:
MC Chris, adult swim seems to promote a lot of cross project creativity (as the multiple appearances for you over shows suggests) was there a very core group of creators initially which really allowed for this to happen? If so is that team primarily intact?
Unfortunately this board has made me rethink a problem I felt was relegated only to some misguided clients for us out there. That being the difficulties associated with marketing CSS driven accessible web sites.
One point which I feel is left out of much of the debate here is the benefits in development afforded web designers by CSS. I'll admit the learning curve can be steep, and cross-browser hacks plague us all, but once you begin creating multiple CSS driven sites you notice a signifigant decrease in development time. I personally attribute most of this to being able to apply consistent elements across an entire site uniformly from the project's outset.
sites. And recently tried to address the problem I saw (getting more clients interested in building CSS layout sites) in an article I wrote.
