			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey there everyone, I love looking at lists of nice websites and realized that I never have written an article on that exact topic.  So I decided to rate some High School websites since it&#8217;s a niche and perhaps could inspire some younger web designers.  Do you think your high school&#8217;s website should be included on this list? <a title="Contact DLOCC!" href="http://www.dlocc.com/contact/">Contact me</a> and be sure to include a hyperlink!  Trust me, this list wasn&#8217;t that easy to make&#8230; if you&#8217;ve looked at many high school websites you&#8217;ll know what I mean.  They all seem to have been made in 1995, except the ones below (plus many more, I&#8217;m sure).  Also, I notice many private school&#8217;s websites tend to be nicer since they are actually marketing the schools.  I thought about excluding those websites but decided not to.<br />
<br  /><a href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/15-high-school-websites-with-nice-designs/" title="15 High School Websites with Nice Designs"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/topHighSchools.png" alt="Top High School Websites" title="topHighSchools" width="524" height="140" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1714" /></a><br />
<br  /><br />
<span id="more-1598"></span></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Red Lion Christian Academy" href="http://www.redlionca.org/">Red Lion Christian Academy</a></h3>
<p><br  /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/redLionChristianAcademy.png" alt="Red Lion Christian Academy Website" title="redLionChristianAcademy" width="524" height="274" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1695" /></p>
<p>This School&#8217;s website shows a nice example of how to use navigational elements properly and I&#8217;m impressed they have a favicon.  Don&#8217;t disregard the favicon!  I love those things :]  Anyways, they mix serif and sans-serif font typography which is a no no in my book, but the site still looks pretty sweet compared to the rest of the high school websites I&#8217;ve been looking at.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Cathedral High School - Indianapolis" href="http://www.cathedral-irish.org/">Cathedral High School &#8211; Indianapolis</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/CathedralHighSchool.png" alt="Cathedral High School" title="CathedralHighSchool" width="524" height="274" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1708" /></p>
<p>The textures used on this high school&#8217;s website layout it was caught my eye.  The navigation and shadows look great and the rotating images keep the site interesting.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Howe Military School" href="http://www.howemilitary.com/wp/">Howe Military School</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/HoweMilitarySchool.png" alt="Howe Military School" title="HoweMilitarySchool" width="524" height="274" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1710" /></p>
<p>They used Georgia? Oh wow, this get&#8217;s put in my showcase&#8230; I love Georgia font if you can&#8217;t tell.  Besides that, the website looks great and not to mention they are running on Wordpress it looks like&#8230; I <3 wordpress.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Red Lion Christian Academy" href="http://www.dematha.org/">DeMatha Catholic High School</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/DeMathaCatholicHighSchool.png" alt="DeMatha Catholic High School Website" title="DeMathaCatholicHighSchool" width="524" height="274" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1706" /></p>
<p>Wow, this site is great looking.  It&#8217;s got a more modern layout and the look-and-feel of the website flows when you actually get in and click around.  They offer a search option, which many of these other sites do not.  Search is good.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Albuquerque Academy" href="http://www.aa.edu/">Albuquerque Academy</a></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/albuquerqueAcademy.png" alt="Albuquerque Academy" title="albuquerqueAcademy" width="524" height="274" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1699" /></p>
<p>I love the background of this website.  Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but any website with a nice scenic background, perhaps of the sky or mountains like this one&#8230; seems to create a nice calming feeling that makes me want to dive deeper into the website.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Adlai E. Steverson High School" href="http://highschoolhomepages.student.com/">Adlai E. Steverson High School</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1657" title="StevensonHigh" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/StevensonHigh.png" alt="Stevenson High School Website" width="524" height="274" /></p>
<p>This website has a nice jQuery slide show featured on the front page with captions.  The background has nice gradients and the navigation is very user-friendly.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="St. Andrews Episcopal School" href="http://www.saes.org/academics">St. Andrews Episcopal School</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1656" title="stAndrewsHighSchool" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/stAndrewsHighSchool.png" alt="St. Andrews Episcopal High School Website" width="523" height="274" /></p>
<p>Nice red color scheme with cool logo integration and professional look-and-feel.  Very clear navigation probably makes it easy for parents and students to get to the information their looking for&#8230; and nice rollover effects make it that much more appealing.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Baltimore Lutheran School" href="http://www.baltimorelutheran.org/">Baltimore Lutheran School</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BaltimoreLutheranSchool.png" alt="Baltimore Lutheran School" title="BaltimoreLutheranSchool" width="523" height="274" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1704" /></p>
<p>This website&#8217;s nice Flash Accordion as the main emphasis of work well and the gradient background is a good subtle backdrop.  The website is designed nicely and the navigational elements are in the expected places.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="North High School" href="http://www.northhighschool.org/">North High School | The Saxons</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1654" title="northSaxons" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/northSaxons.png" alt="North High School Website" width="524" height="274" /></p>
<p>This site is built on a Joomla platform, and more power to them.  Looks like they heavily customized the theme, I can see places where the layout needs some work&#8230; but overall it looks pretty cool.  Props for using a jQuery slider.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Rancho Bernardo High School" href="http://www.powayusd.com/pusdrbhs/">Rancho Bernardo High School</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1655" title="RBHS" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RBHS.png" alt="Rancho Bernardo High School" width="523" height="274" /></p>
<p>Ok, I admit.  I am a bit biased when I post this website, because indeed it isn&#8217;t the nicest site of the bunch&#8230; but this is the very first website I worked on as a student at RB.  Back then it was a table-based layout and there was no Flash on the site.  Now I can see they are using a Flash header, and to tell you the truth I&#8217;m not a fan.  First, it takes too long to load and I&#8217;m just moving away from using Flash as a designer.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Mt. Carmel High School" href="http://www.mtcarmelhs.com/index.php">Mt. Carmel High School</a></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1653" title="mountCarmelHighSchool" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mountCarmelHighSchool.png" alt="Mt. Carmel High School" width="537" height="282" /></p>
<p>Mount Carmel has a nice site and the color scheme suits their mascot, the sun devils.  They have Flash elements, nice textured content background, decent looking footer, and a user friendly layout.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://morriscatholic.org/home.html" title="Morris Knolls High School">Morris Knolls High School</a></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/morrisHighSchool.png" alt="Morris High School" title="morrisHighSchool" width="537" height="282" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1669" /></p>
<p>I included this website because I like it&#8217;s simple layout.  Although not beautiful per say, it is a nice efficient layout and deserves it&#8217;s place among this list.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mcps.k12.mt.us/portal/hhs/Home/tabid/1157/Default.aspx" title="Hell Gate High School">Hell Gate High School</a></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/hellGate.png" alt="Hell Gate High School" title="hellGate" width="537" height="282" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1668" /></p>
<p>This website has a nice color scheme and the header features a decent enough graphic of some mountains with trees and the school in the middle.  Now, while it&#8217;s nothing to go nuts about&#8230; it&#8217;s subtle, efficient, positioned properly on the site.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.antlers.k12.ok.us/" title="Hawthorn Public Schools Website">Hawthorn Public Schools</a></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/HawthornPublicSchools.png" alt="Hawthorn Public Schools" title="HawthornPublicSchools" width="537" height="282" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1673" /></p>
<p>The lesson of the day is: Joomla Site&#8217;s work for schools.  As long as they are aware that they must keep on top of security updates and new releases.  Joomla allows schools like Hawthorn and others in this showcase to create very attractive and accessible websites in less time than other solutions.</p>
<p><br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.onwravens.net/" title="Olathe Northwest High School">Olathe Northwest High School</a></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/olatheHighSchool.png" alt="Olathe Northwest High School" title="olatheHighSchool" width="537" height="282" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1697" />
</p>
<p>Olathe proves that some high school can and do use Flash properly in their websites.  Not to overuse it, but to incorporate it elegantly for it&#8217;s purpose into the website&#8217;s design.  I like how you rollover the navigation on the left the images turn from black-and-white to color&#8230; I&#8217;ve always been a fan of that and for that they win points and a spot on this showcase.</p>
<p><b>Please note:</b> I did not include school websites that use third party solutions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As web designers, we often seek inspiration from what others have done before us.  Not to leech too much off their design, but to <em>inspire</em> our work and get us started on the right path.  Here I will share with you my top go to websites for beautiful website listings with great showcases and more.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1611" title="inspire" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/inspire.png" alt="Websites to Inpire Your Web Design" width="404" height="233" /><br />
<span id="more-1604"></span></p>
<p>If you want to take your inspiration to the next level, look at the source code!  I like to go further into websites using <a rel="nofollow" title="Firebug" href="http://getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a> to see just how a designer coded the site.  It&#8217;s a useful tool for any web designer.  Enjoy the list!<br />
<br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="CSS Line" href="http://www.cssline.com/">CSS Line</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cssline.com"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1608" title="cssLine" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/cssLine.png" alt="CSS Line" width="423" height="219" /></a></p>
<p>Recently I stumbled across this site and what a gold mine of inspiration it is!  I like how when you scroll down the page it just keeps loading new websites for you to look at.  Also, it allows you to submit your own website to be rated.  My only request is that for the ability to search the sites and if there was better categorization.<br />
<br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Smashing Magazine" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/">Smashing Magazine</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1614" title="smashingMagazine" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smashingMagazine.png" alt="Smashing Magazine" width="470" height="243" /></a></p>
<p>Smashing Magazine is a very popular website for web designers.  Here is their <a rel="nofollow" title="Smashing Magazine's Inpiration" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/category/inspiration/">Inpiration category</a> that provides some very good web design lists.</p>
<p>On a side note, I ordered their book&#8230; &#8220;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/12/03/smashing-book-its-out-now/">The Smashing Book</a>&#8221; and was super hyped for it to come in the mail.  It contains some very good information, but it&#8217;s kind of short and I thought the general size of the book itself would be twice as large for the $30 dollars you have to pay for it.  Still, it&#8217;s not a bad book&#8230; it&#8217;s a valiant first installment of many to come I&#8217;m sure.<br />
<br  /></p>
<h3 style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:24px;font-style:italic;"><a rel="nofollow" title="Six Revisions" href="http://www.sixrevisions.com/">Six Revisions</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sixrevisions.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1613" title="sixRevisions" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sixRevisions.png" alt="Six Revisions" width="529" height="274" /></a></p>
<p>Six Revisions is part of the <a rel="nofollow" title="The Smashing Network" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/the-smashing-network/">Smashing Network</a> and like the others, provides excellent lists for inspiration.  Here&#8217;s a particular excellent post on Six Revisions entitled &#8220;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/inspirational-tips-and-tools-from-a-designer/">Inspirational Tips and Tools from a Designer</a>&#8221; that will give you an idea of how well the Six Revisions&#8217; authors can write.<br />

<p>I&#8217;m not sure what &#8220;Hong Kiat&#8221; means, whether it&#8217;s a proper name or company, but who cares? It&#8217;s a great site with a ton of resources! <a rel="nofollow" title="Hong Kiat's Inspiration Category" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/category/inspiration/">Hong Kiat&#8217;s Inspiration Category</a> provides some of the most unique web and graphic showcases on the Internet.  The site is definitely worth checking out.<br />

<p>Vandelay Design blog is packed to the brim with website showcases.  For example, there are multiple installments for each showcase such as: <a rel="nofollow" title="Minimalistic Web Design I" href="http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/design/minimalistic-web-design/">Minimalistic Web Design I</a><a rel="nofollow" title="Minimalistic Web Design II" href="http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/design/minimalistic-web-designs/">Minimalistic Web Design II</a> and <a rel="nofollow" title="Minimalistic Web Design III" href="http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/galleries/minimal-websites-designs/">Minimalistic Web Design III</a></p>
<p><em><strong>George Costanza</strong></em>: [George rushes into Jerry's apartment] Did anybody call here asking for Vandelay Industries?<br />
<em><strong>Jerry:</strong></em> No, what happened to you?<br />
<em><strong>George Costanza:</strong></em> All right, listen closely, I was at the unemployment office and I told them I was very close to getting a job with Vandelay Industries, and I gave them your phone number.

<p>Wow, this site&#8217;s design is great. I drew my inspiration from the way the transparency looks&#8230; but <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.noupe.com">Noupe</a>&#8217;s content is excellent also.

<p>24-Ways is a funny website because it only posts 24 articles every December.  While these are great articles how about 24-articles every month?! Is this asking too much?

<p>He has a ton of <a rel="nofollow" title="CSS-Tricks Freebies" href="http://css-tricks.com/downloads/">Freebies</a>, not so many top-sites but his sense of style is excellent.

<p>I just recently took a more in depth look at <a rel="nofollow" title="Specky Boy" href="http://www.speckyboy.com">Specky Boy</a> the other day and I must say&#8230; it looks like <a rel="nofollow" title="facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> doesn&#8217;t it?  Well, we are really analyzing the content and whether it can inspire us or not.  So, upon further investigation I realized this too was another worthy site of my collection.

Hmm, sounds like a good upcoming post.  Anyways, to wrap it up the Web Designer Depot is, like the others, an excellent source of inspiration for starting any new design project.  Here&#8217;s a post I like: <a rel="nofollow" title="Minimalist Web Design - When Loss is More" href="http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/12/minimalist-web-design-when-less-is-more/">Minimalist Web Design &#8211; When Loss is More</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1590" title="xbox360" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/xbox360.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="225" />The Xbox 360 can be an unusual gaming console. On the one hand, it delivers fantastic game titles, an astounding internet based infrastructure in place, and even a substantial online community of players available at any time of day set to play against you in whichever video game you choose.</p>
<p><span id="more-1586"></span></p>
<p>On the other side however, you get the red ring of death, disc drive errors, and countless amounts of stress any time 1 of these issues happen to you. A highly familiar error code that comes up on Microsoft&#8217;s gaming console is E74. In the event you have recently come down with this particular error, no need to be bothered an <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Do-it-Yourself-Xbox-360-E74-Fix---What-Microsoft-Doesnt-Want-You-to-Know&amp;id=3612861" target="_blank">Xbox 360 E74 fix</a> is less complicated than you believe.</p>
<h3>Determining If You Have The E74 Error</h3>
<p>The initial thing you have to ascertain whilst looking for an Xbox 360 E74 fix, will be if your system is truly plagued by the E74 error. If you aren&#8217;t certain, it really is very easy to determine. In the event you are suffering from this exact error, the Xbox 360 should display a black screen on your Tv, and will in fact display E74 on the tv screen, as well as a message to phone Microsoft assistance. Moreover, you should view one single red flashing light, on the right lower quadrant of the ring.</p>
<h3>Xbox 360 E74 Fix &#8211; What Not To Do</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;ve determined you currently have the E74 error your number one impulse may possibly be to phone Microsoft customer assistance. Honestly, if your warranty has expired, don&#8217;t even take the time. For one they&#8217;re going to can charge you close to $150 for repairs, shipping and handling, and coverage. And if that is not bad enough, they have to keep your console for as long as two months. In my opinion, this is certainly merely preposterous. I do not believe that the cost, or even the span of time is justifiable, for a console you already spent so much money to get.</p>
<p>An Xbox 360 E74 fix that gets proposed often, but is not a thing you should experiment with is the towel trick. The towel trick entails you wrapping your console inside of a towel, and turning it on until eventually it overheats. The idea is that as soon as you allow for it to cool off, flip it back on, your console should be repaired. This typically works but merely for a quick time, and could have a number of negative long term effects on your system.</p>
<h3>Xbox 360 E74 Fix &#8211; Do It Yourself</h3>
<p>The Xbox 360 E74 fix I suggest is always to get a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.squidoo.com/the-xbox-360-repair-guide" target="_blank">Xbox 360 repair guide</a> and to do it your self. Even if this may seem to be hard at first, I can assure you that with proper instructions this is really easy. Most of the accessories necessary to do an Xbox 360 E74 fix are common every day objects. The other great thing regarding performing it yourself is that you can fix it in under two hours and also the repair is everlasting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple&#8217;s largely hyped <a title="iPad Revealed- No Flash" href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/apple-ipad-finally-unveiled/">iPad</a> will <em>not </em>support the Flash plugin on it&#8217;s built-in Safari browser.  This means there will be no free Flash games, videos or music on the <a title="iPad Revealed- No Flash" href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/apple-ipad-finally-unveiled/">Apple iPad</a>.  Instead, the Safari browser will show the missing plugin icon when an iPad user attempts to access a website that is Flash enabled.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1522" title="iPad_flash_icon" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPad_flash_icon.png" alt="Apple iPad No Flash Compatibility" width="435" height="173" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1521"></span>The topic has been widely since the iPad, then dubbed &#8216;apple tablet&#8217;, rumors first began to swirl.  During Apple&#8217;s &#8220;Latest Creation&#8221; unveiling Steve Jobs demonstrated browsing the Internet on the iPad.  When he encountered Flash on the New York Times&#8217; website he quickly stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>No flash here&#8230; the missing plugin icon is on screen.﻿&#8221; &#8211; <em>Steve Jobs</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Update:<strong> Adobe Announces Flash <a rel="nofollow" title="Flash and iPad can Coexist" href="http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplatform/2010/01/building_ipad_apps.html">Apps Will Run On The iPad, Even Full Screen At Some Point</a></strong></strong></p>
<p>The <a rel="nofollow" title="Apple iPad Finally Unveiled" href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/apple-ipad-finally-unveiled/">iPad</a> and <a title="Flash Category" href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/category/flash/">Flash</a> debate has been a widely debated topic between tech bloggers. Some Apple fans think they are doing the right thing by snubbing Adobe&#8217;s Flash.  <a title="No Flash on the iPad? Who gives a crap?!" href="http://binarybonsai.com/2010/01/27/no-flash-on-the-ipad-who-gives-a-crap/">Others</a> think that Apple is doing the right thing.  Myself, I &lt;3 Flash but understand where Apple is coming from Flash exclusion.</p>
<h3>iPad: No Flash? No Surprise</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1562" title="noFlashiPadicon" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/noFlashiPadicon.png" alt="No Flash on Apple's iPad" width="78" height="83" />Apple&#8217;s iPhone never supported Flash and they have never  indicated that this would change in the near future.  To add to this, Apple seems to be placing more distance (if possible) between themselves and Adobe Flash. So why are some surprised? The iPad is a device that features browsing as a key element; there will be plenty of people wanting access their Flash games, video sites, music and more.  Instead, they will only to be met with this frustrating (and widely-hated) icon:<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1564" title="missing_plugin_icon" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/missing_plugin_icon.png" alt="Missing Plug-In Icon on Apple iPad" width="78" height="74" /></p>
<p>Which situation do you think Apple is happier with? An iPad OS without Flash plugin support, where they control the source code to every single component, and can do whatever they want, when they want&#8230; OR&#8230; an OS with proprietary web content plugin support &#8211; Flash primarily &#8211; that brings users a much more complete Internet viewing experience but takes control away from Apple.  Looks like they&#8217;ve made the decision.</p>
<h3>iPad Shrugs Off Flash</h3>
<p>With the majority of video on the Internet based on Flash technology, this latest revelation from Apple may limit the iPad&#8217;s richness.  On the other hand, Apple may be attempting loosen the grip of this closed-door plugin has on the Internet.  Will Apple be successful?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1516" style="padding-right: 10px;" title="apple_ipad" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/apple_ipad-150x150.png" alt="Apple iPad Image" width="150" height="150" />Apple released the long-hyped device the Apple iPad, a one-piece tablet-style computer with a thin design and light price.   Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc. made the introduction at Apple's "Latest Creation" event.  The new device is very thin - you can change the homescreen to whatever you want, you can turn it whichever way you'd like; the interface is like an exploded iPhone.  Available in 60-days (from 1/27/2010) and base model (16GB w/o 3G) at $499 dollars.

<span id="more-1515"></span>
<h3><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1517" title="steveJobs_unveiling_Apple_iPad" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/steveJobs_unveiling_Apple_iPad.png" alt="Steve Jobs and Apple iPad" width="240" height="339" /></h3>
All of Apple's tablet iPad will have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in and will available to purchase in March (wireless only) and April 2010 (3G enabled).  The pay-as-you-go models iPad versions will utilize AT&amp;T (eek!) in the U.S. with two-tiers of pricing (14.99 250gb/mo or $29.99 unlimited).
<h3>Introducing the iPad</h3>
Is the iPad a large-version of the iPhone?  Well, yes and no.  Yes because the look-and-feel of the OS is very similar.  And no because there will be many differences that are not seen on the surface.

On the surface the iPad looks like a over sized iPhone with a similar OS and outside design.  Hope into the iPad and you'll notice things are much different than your iPhone.  First, let's take a further look at the pricing.
<h3>iPad Pricing</h3>
Pricing has been in question since news of the 'tablet' device first surface.  Some of the industry's top analyst suspected the lowest price point at $1,000.  Apple surprised many with the following pricing figures:

<strong>3G Capable</strong>

<img class="size-full wp-image-1574 alignnone" style="margin: 15px;" title="iPad_Pricing_table" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPad_Pricing_table.png" alt="iPad Pricing Table 3G" width="241" height="117" />

<strong>Wireless-only Version</strong>

<img class="size-full wp-image-1575 alignnone" style="margin: 15px;" title="apple_iPad_pricing_2" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/apple_iPad_pricing_2.png" alt="Apple iPad Wireless Pricing" width="293" height="112" />
<h3>iPhone Similarities</h3>
Now the the pricing it out there, let's jump into some of the similarities between the iPad and iPhone.  For starters, you can slide to unlock the iPad's screen just like the iPhone.

<blockquote>This is the lock screen - icons fly in. Let's go right to the web..."</blockquote>

The iPad will have a Safari browser similar to that on the iPhone in respects that it will <em>not </em>support Adobe's Flash plug-in.  The iPad will allow you to flip and tap through your photos just like the iPhone.  One cool new feature will allow you to create albums with Google Maps to pinpoint image locations anywhere on the globe.  As you travel and take more pictures over time this could become a really cool personal photo journal.

For all you iPhone users with a lot of money invested in Apps, the iPad will be able to run all of your apps out-of-the-box.  Worried about resolution?  The iPad will be able to run your apps full screen.   Please see the following example using a racing game on the iPad:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1549" title="iPad_app_resolution" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPad_app_resolution.png" alt="iPad Application Resolution Change" width="491" height="179" />

iPhone developers will have an easy transition to the iPad and there undoubtedly will be new talent trying to exploit this new gold rush.
<h3>New Drop-down Menus in iPad OS:</h3>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1535" title="iPad_dropdown" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPad_dropdown.png" alt="iPad drop-down menu" width="371" height="388" />
<h3>Apple's iBooks</h3>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1536" title="iBooks_Icon" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iBooks_Icon.png" alt="iPad iBooks icon" width="369" height="182" />

<p>Mozilla makes some great software, and they can design a mean website too.

<p>Is your wordpress blog in need of some sprucing up?  Here we have an example of how we can make blog postings look that much better all thanks to cascading style sheets.  Remember, these are links so they will require different syntax for styling links and hovers.  Check out what I mean by viewing the code below.</p>

<p>Top-10 lists are very popular and are very enjoyable to write IMO.  Site visitors want to see lists with images that stand out and are unique.  Bland lists are boring.

<p>Mozilla is awesome.  Check out their <em>beautiful </em>and <em>elegant </em>typography <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mozilla.org/">HERE</a>.  Georgia is one of my favorite fonts to use because it renders nicely when used in large sizes and looks pretty slick.  It's a serif font, meaning it naturally has more detail than sans-serif fonts.  I believe this gives more character to the typography.  What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Internet fell into an obsession with rounded corners for awhile and you want to know to how create them?  Ok, so first you'll need a graphic, image or photo that needs some rounded corners.  Next follow along with this tutorial on how to create rounded corners for images, graphics and photos and you'll be creating them in under 3-minutes.  That's some fast rounded corners!

<a href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/roundedcorner.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1388" title="Rounded Corner Example Image" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/roundedcorner.png" alt="Make Rounded Corners in Under 15-Seconds" width="500" height="200" /></a>
<span id="more-1387"></span>Everyone loves rounded corners it seems these days.  Some would say it's old school now, but it's still relevant so let's check out how to create them:

Ok so for starters have your image open in Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 (if you are using an older version this should work also):

<strong>1.</strong> Click on the Rounded Rectangle Shape in you Tools Palette

<strong>2.</strong> Click-and-drag your cursor from the top-right-hand-corner to the bottom-left-hand-corner of the image (or wherever you want the proportions of the image to be, you'll see what I mean).

<strong>3.</strong> Holding the CTRL key click on the shape layer's Vector Mask thumbnail to make a selection of the shape.

<strong>4.</strong> Select the image layer

<strong>5.</strong> Copy the selection by pressing CTRL+C or right-click and select Copy.

<strong>6.</strong> Paste the selection by pressing CTRL+V or right-click and select Paste.  This will create a new layer above the image without rounded corners.

<strong>7.</strong> Delete the non-rounded corner image and hide the shape layer.  Save as .PNG and you're all set!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The new Aliens vs. Predator video game is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.destructoid.com/aliens-vs-predator-gets-special-editions-release-date-157477.phtml">set to release February 16th</a> and will ship with three different versions - Standard edition, Survivor edition and Hunter edition.  I have always been a fan of the <a rel="nofollow" title="AVP IMDB" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370263/">Alien and Predator movies</a> since I was first introduced to them as a child. Back in the day (about 10 years ago) when <a rel="nofollow" title="Aliens Vs. Predator 2 PC Game" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_versus_Predator_%28video_game%29">Aliens vs Predator 2</a> came out for PC it was an excellent game. Three campaign modes and online multiplayer kept me entertained for a long time.  

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1342" title="avp" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/avp.png" alt="Alien vs. Predator Video Game by Rebellion" width="515" height="281" /><span id="more-1323"></span>
Below are my thoughts on the new game that will be released next month in February.

After reading a few articles about the game on <a rel="nofollow" title="Gamespot" href="http://www.gamespot.com">Gamespot</a> and viewing the videos provided on <a rel="nofollow" title="YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/ArizonaWildcats">YouTube</a>, <a rel="nofollow" title="Alien Vs. Predator" href="http://www.sega.com/games/aliens-vs-predator/">Aliens vs Predator</a> looks like it will be a very promising game both for loyal fans and newcomers. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rebellion.co.uk/">Rebellion</a> is the development company behind the game and from what they said on camera and were quoted in articles, most if not all Rebellion developers are hardcore fans of the Alien and Predator genre. In short, Rebellion reported that when they decided to make this game, they wanted to make it <em>very </em>bloody, <em>very </em>graphic, and <em>very </em>true to the movies. They wanted to allow the player to do whatever the alien and predator could do in the movies.

From the videos that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rebellion.co.uk/">Rebellion</a> has released, it seems that they are carrying out their vision. It is so graphic that the game was temporarily banned in Australia. Latest news shows that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.itwire.com/content/view/30178/532/">the ban was overturned</a> after the dev team stated that they would not produce a “watered down” version of their game for Australian distribution (props to them for standing behind their vision).<p><br  /></p>
<h3><strong>Predator:</strong></h3>
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1344" style="padding-bottom: 20px;" title="predator" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/predator.png" alt="" width="233" height="275" />The Predator looks like it will be a highly favored class to play in the game. Unlike the old game 10 years ago, the Predator now can use its ‘focus’ mode and jump from place to place quickly. The old game only allowed you to do a single high jump in addition to regular walk commands.

As a Predator, you can perform various trophy kills on different races: such as ripping of a human head with your hand and retrieving the head with the spinal column attached, choking a human and thrusting your wrist blades through its head from the bottom jaw through the top of the head, and grabbing an alien’s mini mouth and ripping it out of its head.

Hopefully there will be at least 2 different kinds of trophy kills that you can do for each race. Like the movies, the Predator has different vision modes to help see its prey. You have your normal view, thermal view, and an alien view. The Predator has its usual weapons (wrist blades, plasma cannon, mines) but I hope that the dev team puts in others as well (such as the telescoping staff, disc, and the net gun).
<h3><strong>Alien:</strong></h3>
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1341" title="alien" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/alien.png" alt="Alien vs. Predator Video Game Alien" width="216" height="200" />The alien has two views: standard view and a view that allows you to see in pitch black. They can cling to virtually any surface and crawl and jump around the map VERY quickly. Since you see through the eyes of the alien, crawling around walls and jumping might leave you a little disoriented, but with a little practice it wasn’t too bad playing the old game. Your weapons are: teeth, claws, and tail, which means that every kill you receive will be a close encounter. Supposedly, if you bite off the head of a human you gain back some health. In the old game if you stung your prey with your tail it would daze them and that would allow for an easier head chomp. The recent videos show that as an alien, you will be able to fully impale your enemies with your tail from behind.
<h3><strong>Marine:</strong></h3>
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1343" style="padding: 10px;" title="marine" src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/marine.png" alt="Alien Vs Predator Marine" width="172" height="249" />
Not too much has been shown from the Marines point of view, but this class will be the most familiar to players that have never played an AVP game before. They have mentioned that the Marine will have a motion scanner and a heavy arsenal to take down its foes. Marines are weakest from behind so it will be important to take this into account when attacking one.

Being a fan of the alien and predator genre, I have high hopes for this game. From what I have seen the game looks like it will be great and provide hours and hours of fun. But like with many games released these days, some games fall short despite all the hype. As far as multiplayer goes, as long as they balance out the three classes and have some decent maps, you will have a significant online community that will be playing this game for a long time.<p></p>

<h3><strong>Update: 1/15/09</strong></h3>
<p>I have not heard a thing yet from the DSC and my drive to work sucks listening to music.  Anyways, I will probably not update as often on this post until I hear any news.  If you hear some please leave a comment or <a href="http://www.dlocc.com/contact">contact me</a>!</p>
<h3><strong>Update: 1/12/09</strong></h3>
<p>Looks like there's a few people doing a rally over at the Clear Channel in San Diego on Wednesday January 13th (tomorrow).  If you choose to support this, then here's a map to the Clear Channel office:</p>

<p>DLOCC doesn't know who to support in this debate... the DSC or KGB?  I'm not a big fan of Clear Channel though.</p> 
<h3><strong>Update: 1/11/09</strong></h3>
<p>A few more interesting comments below, but no more news from Dave and co.  Anybody hear anything?  If you have, please post it or <a href="http://www.dlocc.com/contact">contact me</a> and send me the link.</p>
<h3><strong>Update: 1/8/09</strong></h3>
<p>Coe Lewis stopped by the site today and left a comment below, check it out... I think she makes a good point.</p>
<p>No significant news as of today.  Will there be a DSC? Are they leaving San Diego, retiring?  Where's Emily and Ruth?</p>
<p>I can see from your comments that you're equally as confused.</p>
<h3><strong>Update: 1/7/09</strong></h3>
<p>Rickards told NBC San Diego he was notified of the DSC show's cancellation over the weekend.</p>
</p>
<p>“We want to be on KGB,” he said. “We want to finish our careers there. We hope that can still happen, but that looks unlikely.”</p>
<h3><strong>Update: 1/6/09</strong></h3>
<p>There's been more news released today about the DSC show being San Diego's latest morning radio crew casualty.</p>
<p>Please read about it <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jan/05/kgbs-morning-crew-latest-radio-casualty/?imw=Y">here at Sign on San Diego</a>.  Currently, it is the most popular article on the website.  This just goes to show how popular the DSC was in San Diego.  Also, on <a href="http://www.dlocc.com">my website</a> this article has received a lot of attention.</p>
<p><strong>There is still no comment or statement from either Dave, Shelly or Chainsaw.</strong></p>
<p>It also looks like someone updated the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave,_Shelly,_and_Chainsaw" alt="DSC Show Wikipedia page">DSC Show Wikipedia page</a> with past tense refences... how sad.</p>

<h3><strong>Update: 1/4/09</strong></h3>
<p>The shows cast included Dave Rickards, Shelly Dunn and Cookie "Chainsaw" Randolph and has been on the air in San Diego for more than 20-years.  Other cast members are Chris Boyer, Emily Maguire and "Ruth 66" whose real name is Nina Rheba.</p>

<p>Rickards, the show's founder, has yet to release a statement on the matter (that I have seen).  KGB on the other hand has posted the following state and taken down the DSC website, all images and references to the show and looks to be done with negotiations.</p>

Statement from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.101kgb.com">101KGB</a>
<blockquote><em>After extensive negotiations. and offering the DSC team a very lucrative, multi-year offer, we were unfortunately not able to reach an agreement to keep the show with KGB.

We wish Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw all the best in their future pursuits and thank them for their contribution to the station. KGB has had a special relationship with listeners in San Diego as the leading Classic Rock station for many years. We look forward to continuing that tradition.</em></blockquote>

<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pi.jpg"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pi.jpg" alt="" title="pi" width="300" height="298" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1282" style="padding-left:10px;"/></a><p>As an avid listener of the show, I can't say I'm surprised.  A couple of months ago Dave shared with his audience the facts surrounding the his show's layoff.  He has always been straightforward with the listeners.  Did he see this coming?  If so, why not mention it?  This economic downturn has hit every industry, including KGB radio station owner <a href="http://www.clearchannel.com">Clear Channel</a>.  Is money that tight there that they couldn't meet the DSC's requests?  Or were their requests too much to ask for?</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Lots of questions and no answers</strong></p>
<p>This afternoon Coe Lewis cried on air about how she's losing her friends and <em>KGB loves it's listeners and San Diego and we'll always be for you... </em>blah blah blah.  Who are you anyways?  The only reason I ever turn on KGB is for the DSC anyways.  Oh yeah, unless I want to hear <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>, which is played probably no less than 20 times every 4-hours.</p> 
<p>Growing up in San Diego, I have always enjoyed listening to this show on the way to work.  I am confident that another local station will jump on the opportunity to bring the DSC show on board.</p>
<p></p>
<a href="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Dsc_incahoots.jpg"><img src="http://www.dlocc.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Dsc_incahoots-300x200.jpg" alt="The Dave Shelly and Chainsaw Radio Show Off the Airwaves" title="Dsc_incahoots" width="300" height="200" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1377" /></a>
<p><strong>Tell me what you think?</strong>  Do you think the KGB is being a penny-pinching stickler or is it the DSC crew who are wanting more money and less B.S.?  Leave a comment below or <a href="http://www.dlocc.com/contact">contact me</a>.</p>
