Our Friend White.

Our office in the Treme has a new admirer – this white cat with two different-colored eyes has been hanging out a lot on our stoop and mewing for food and attention.

Here’s Annunciation WordPress guru Twenty B’s posing w. a local Banksy piece.

Parkway POTUS

We were tickled to see that President Obama stopped in at one of our favorite lunch spots, Parkway Bakery & Tavern, while he was in town for the Katrina +5 anniversary. He apparently got the shrimp po-boy.

Hello Thelonius!

Pleased to say that this blog has been updated to WordPress 3 – ‘Thelonius”. So far so good. We’re going to get the Annunciation Interactive site updated soon as well. From what I’m seeing, WP3 continues the evolution of WordPress toward a more general content manager versus its blog-centric roots…

HTML5

Very cool infographic breaking down the advances pending in html5 as it is rolled out. Good stuff.

Speed Testing.

I’m such an idiot – just realized that Firebug has built-in speed testing. That would’ve come in handy.

Flash Wars.

Kind of funny back & forth this past week from Apple and Adobe. Adobe apparently debuted a strange passive-aggressive ‘We Heart Apple’ campaign – while conducting a flame war with Steve Jobs et al. Apple’s (apparently fake) response is below. Heh.

Peace Nerds.

Neat quickie shot of the stuff on our mantle at my office at Annunciation Interactive. Photo by our friend and client David Guidry of Lakeside Photoworks. The ‘Peace’ card was from our buddy Jake at PeopleMover last Xmas I think.

Won’t Bow. Don’t Know How.

David Simon’s new HBO series ‘Treme’ debuted last Sunday, and I got to watch it recently. It’s always tough to see New Orleans portrayed by the outside world, but Treme does so relatively well. Gorgeous cinematography, great music and vibe – so we’ll try to forgive the heavy-handed cultural name dropping and awkward references. All in all, I’m gratified to see our story being told by such a capable team. Looking forward to episode two.

State of the Web.

Great infographic re: web usage and demographic stats from focus.com.
