The shoulders and arms part is my favorite! I absolutely love it. You can feel your muscle crying “Thank you!!!”. Next week, I’ll be pushing a bit harder. Last night was more of testing the weights and see how much we should take without hurting ourselves in the process but it was still a great workout!
The ab ripper X part is always “Holy crap! I can’t do half this stuff!” but we did our best and hopefully next week we can do more.
Yesterday, Yves did Cardio X while I went to my soccer game. We both worked out hard! Yves is a little stiff from Core but a “good feeling stiff” if such a thing exists.
I’m really feeling it in the abs this morning. Soccer was a great workout. We only had 1 sub so in 2 30min halves, I only went off for 3 minutes in each half. Not bad.
I can’t remember what’s in store for tonight but I can’t wait! I try not to get on the scale in the morning…. but I still do. I lost 2lbs so far 
We’ll see what’s the official verdict come Monday morning.
Yesterday was Day 1, Yves and I did Core Synergistics…
I forgot how hard that one is at first. All those different push-ups. I suck at those so I have to do the girlie ones where you keep your knees down! HAHA! Yves was doing great!
We still can’t do the Dreya Roll tho! Holy Canoli that’s just nuts! Hopefully I’ll be able to do more than 1, one day!
Tonight is Cardio X which Yves will be doing but I’ll be replacing it with my soccer game. I’ll be working just as hard, don’t worry.
I should’ve been a little more specific in my tweet. I was talking about designers who don’t have even the most basic HTML and CSS skills to turn a flat design into an actual site. Not people who intentionally choose not to code; those who can’t. And I’m also referring only to front-end code here; of course it’s ridiculous to think that designers should also be amazing back-end programmers (although there are exceptions).
This quote is from Elliot Jay Stock on his post Web designers who can’t code, a debate he started up yesterday morning on twitter. What a great way to start the day!
As Elliot pointed out, it created quite a stir on twitter. My favorite reply is this one by Andy Budd which Elliot has also quoted:
However if you’re designing fairly large scale sites it’s often not desirable, possible or practical to do the coding especially if the complexity of the various components (e.g. complex JS functionality) outweighs your technical ability.
Now, quite a few have opened up their blogs to keep the discussion going:
Reading all those and the comments are sure to keep you away from doing any work so… beware!
Just did the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do… but it’s for the best… I think.
I tweeted that yesterday at around the same time I’m writing this. What does it mean?
Well… it means I left The Web Squeeze. It was a hard decision, very hard decision for me to take since Jacob, Linda and I (along with Marc Fraser) started it all almost 2 years ago. It was something we all really loved doing. At first it was a hobby and that was great but lately, it’s become something more. Owning a Web Magazine is a full time job (as most of you know) and I couldn’t keep up. I don’t have the luxury of sending request to people to write for us, or deal with advertisers, etc… I have a full time job already. And I have a family that I enjoy being with. With client work (that I freelance on the side) and TWS, it wasn’t leaving me a lot of time to spend with my darling little girl who’s growing up too fast and that bass-playing husband of mine that I love so much.
You’ll still see me roaming around the forums once in a while. But I won’t be there very often.
Not much will change actually tho I’ll have more time to deal with client stuff. And there are a few things I want to do, projects I’ve been eager to start so I might jump into that. One thing is for sure tho… this blog will finally get it’s much needed redesign! I’m going more tumblr-like. I’ve a got a few mock-up in PSD that I’m playing around with so you can look to me posting a bit more on here now.
So that’s it… Jacob, Linda and I are still friends and I wish them the best of luck with The Web Squeeze.
Even tho I ain’t part of @thewebsqueeze anymore, be sure to check ‘em out yeah? Promise? Ok good! Moving along!
Tweeted this morning … and I mean it!
