Today’s word is: Irony

Family Guy introduced new character Joyce Kinney the episode “Excellence in Broadcasting” as the replacement to Diane Simmons who was killed in the episode “And Then There Were Fewer.” The character Joyce Kinney is voiced by Christine Lakin.

So, where’s the irony? Get to the point!

Christine Lakin’s website is an irony in Web design.

Notice the nice iPhone design on Lakin’s website? It looks gorgeous.

So, I don’t see anything wrong with it. What’s your point?

Here it is:

Here’s another one:

The site is Flash-based! You can’t view the site on the iPhone while it has iPhone in the design.

Note to Christine:
Your site needs a new design.
If you need to complain to me in person, call Smart Entertainment (John Jacobs’ office) and show this to Mr. Turner. He can find me.
No, Seth McFarlane has nothing to do with this post or any writings on most Family Guy episodes. He got his own writing staff.

Adobe Responds to Flash Crash Bug.

As we have previously discovered, Flash 10.1 beta is not affected by the crash-inducing bug. Matthew Dempsky has been pressing this issue for quite a while. The news hits front page of Hacker News earlier this week and garnered more attentions.

Adobe has now officially responded to this bug. The fix will beincluded in Flash 10.1 that will be released sometimes in 2010. Considering the nature of this bug, Adobe should have included the fix sooner in the 10.0.x release.

I have been using ClickToFlash for a while to weed out those pesky Flash-based ads. In addition to that I have not been missing Flash on the iPhone and iPod touch at all. In a way I’m glad that the iPad won’t be supporting Flash plugin.

Seriously, I don’t really depend on Flash when surfing the web.

Note to Darren Carter, you need to dump the stupid Flash-based site of yours. Get a real webmaster!
