I don’t even know.

Well, I am officially living at the Fort now… and it’s Awesome. Took most all day Saturday to move in, and I’m not quite done, but it’s livable for the time being.

I’ve got a new idea for car horns. Maybe it’s not new, but since I thought of it last night and I’d never heard of it before, I’m counting it as a new idea – pressure sensitive car horns. With pressure sensitive car horns, you’d be able to decide just how loud the horn should be for a given situation. Sometimes, you just want to honk to let someone know they have right-of-way and should get out of the way, and in those cases, you don’t need the horn to be so loud and rude. However, when someone just about clips your front bumper merging into your lane on the highway and cutting you off for no reason other than their apparent idiocy, it’d be nice if you could, by the loudness of your horn, let them know that such a move was indicative of the actions of a complete idiot, not just a partial idiot.

I start a new job tomorrow with University Communications, working on the HSU website. From what I can tell, my job will be to push updates to the website – something that makes me happy because I have long felt that the HSU website isn’t updated quickly enough when it needs to be (case in point: the bad weather days we had recently… yes, they posted that school was cancelled, but by the time it got on there it was almost too late to be of any use). Not that the team behind the website isn’t top-notch from what I can tell so far, but maybe I can bring some speed to the need-to-know updates.

I actually think that is a really good freaking idea. Let’s make it and sell it to a big car company. You need me to be a pretty face. You can’t sell stuff without a pretty face.

Actually, I just thought about it. We’re Southside. Screw the Northside. Poofters.
The problem I have with the HSU website is that 1) there is NO continuity. One click and suddenly the layout of the page is completely different. It’s unprofessional. And 2) the information is not organized in an easily accessible way. I usually have to use the search feature if I want to find anything, like a phone number for instance.
@ Michael: what’s a Poofter, exactly?
@ Kristina: well,
1) we’re working the continuity (i say we; today was my first day), just as quickly as possible with just 2 student workers.
2) the newer layout helps with that problem, but while the site is in transition i understand it can be difficult to find some things. pointer: the new campus directory is online; go to http://www.hsutx.edu and click “Campus Directory” in the links along the bottom of the page – you can drill deeper by selecting the “school” your professor is in. alternatively you can select your “school” from the “Majors” page, and click the faculty link in the sidebar to see only faculty members from that school.
@ Lee: Cody and Micah are poofters.
