Deus Ex Machina

We’ve all experienced HORRIBLE movies where they resort to deus ex machina to get out of a mess!

Please RATE, FAVORITE and COMMENT over at YouTube. The favoriting part is especially important.  Thank you!  :-)

The deus part is actually pronounced more like dey-oos.. not deoos that I went with in the video.  Sorry about that!

Carl’s Jr. Wins Best Online Campaign

omma-award

Remember that online Carl’s Jr. campaign I was involved with with the other top YouTubers, Smosh, sxephil, iJustine, WTCC, etc?

Well they won the Best Online Campaign over at the OMMA Awards and Best in Show! I like the lines “Results? Per-store sales of the featured burger doubled from the period before launch. Nice buy, if you can get it.”

Here was my video that I made:

Snorkel

Why the name snorkel for the breathing apparatus?  And don’t you just love my high-tech snorkel?

Thank you all!

marina14I wanted to thank you all for the kind words you have sent to me via the website, Twitter and email.  It’s amazing how much it helps while I am lying in bed really sick knowing that my students are pushing for my recovery!

I’ve never experienced such a high fever in my life!  As you can see in the picture on the left.. I have become a little green!  I mean… I did find two bite marks on my neck the other morning…. I wonder if they could have caused my illness? Could I be becoming a…   No.. that’s’ ridiculous!

Anyway…. I did want to thank you all.  You guys have all made this dreadful experience that much more pleasant for me!  I really appreciate it so much and love you all.

Now, keep your hands clean, and don’t let any bats bite you on the neck!

Site Design Followup

080624_ajhackersHey guys and gals… I’ve been working for days (in my sickness) on making the website more friendly. I like the look of the comments now.. they look clean.

I also widened the site by 20 pixels… which gives me a little more room to put things.

I still have to widen the forums.

BUT.. I need your help!

Where can I make it obvious that there are new posts?

Right now it’s tough to figure out when I have new posts and it makes it difficult for me to communicate with you guys.

Right now I have a little box on the homepage and one on the sidebar.. but they really don’t stand out. I can’t replace the lesson box on the right as that’s the most important part.

I even tried going with the blog format for the site over the weekend, but that ended making my site look like a lot less than it was.

So.. any suggestions would be welcome!  You can comment below for now or in the forum later.

Thanks so much!
