11. You Suck At Web Design

Description
“You Suck at Web Design” is a humorous (attempting to be, that is) writing project about life as a web designer in our current flurry of web acronyms, standards compliance, WYSIWYG, style sheets, hacks, digging, 2.0-this and Ajax-that. It’s mostly a commentary on the life of a freelancer, and a horribly lop-side disdain for the corporate world and it’s micro management. With 39 episodes this project has stopped for now, but previous series are very useful, so be sure to check  these out.
