I loved share time in elementary school (hence the blog). I decided today is share day and guess who’s turn it is? MINE.
This is part two of my series, Jesse shows you what he’s working on. The below image is a screenshot of a website I’m doing for a local opera singer.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT JEWISH
I decided yesterday I’m gonna host my own passover this year. I think I really like tradition and ceremony. There is something about getting together with people with a greater purpose than to watch a movie or eat.
We have a great group of friends around here and I was thinking about inviting some people over and sharing the tradition with them. Though I’m concerned about it being taken seriously (it is a celebration, but at times a somber one). Then I had a great* idea: I’ll write my own seder.
Obviously it would be based on years of tradition, but having someone remember the bitter tears of slavery who is mostly thinking about a pair of jeans they want, doesn’t really work, but having them remember the bitterness they feel about what enslaves them still today, might be effective. I’m not trying to “make the passover hip”, I just want it to also be relevant to peoples lives. Basically, I want them to go home having experienced something more than matso ball soup and finding the hidden cracker.
What do you guys think? Is it sacrilege? Am I destroying passover? Or is it possible to be relevant and reverent?
Remember the Dove Evolution video? And the mock one?

I don’t share too much of my creative work on here, so today I thought I would share something fun with you. This is a little site I mocked up for a friend last night for his wedding save the date.

The following post was painstakingly* hand-crafted. Please take the time to follow the links and read it all the way through. There just might be something in it for you (nothing of quality or substance, but something nonetheless).
So you’ve seen star wars kid, numa numa and maybe you even got in on the dramatic prairie dog. You’re thinking to yourself, “I’m in with the internety generation”. Well today your gonna get a little cooler**.
I happily present the phenomenon known as being rick-rolled. This is not a new concept. Being “rick-rolled” consists of being sent a link to a youtube video or website containing displaying a youtube video of Rick Astley masked by some other text. For Example:
Whoa man. They just found atlantis…

This in and of itself, can be quite funny. But “rick-rolling” in some form or another has been around for quite a while. The real treasure I share with you today is the song chart meme. This includes charting out the lyrics or concepts of a song. Example Below:
Question: So what happens when Rick Astley and song charting combine? (Clue: It has nothing to do with Chuck Norris)
Answer:
And for the bonus round a song chart related to another great meme:
