So I’m on the train on the way home and there’s about 8 people in my carriage.
Pretty quiet as no doubt the passengers are getting over the trails and tribulations of their working day.
This guy on the other side then gets out his mobile ‘phone.
“Yeah hi Steve… it’s Dave…”
He’s talking a bit too loud for my liking… even though I have my earphones on listening to a podcast… he’s still a little too loud…
“Yeah hi… I told you I’d call you when I get more ideas for our site…” he goes on.
Hmm… this might get interesting I think as I pause my MP3 player…
“Yeah… I always get ideas on the train…”
Now he’s kind of looking around like he wants people to hear…
“… as I said in the studio…”
… studio? Yep, now I’m convinced you want an audience…
“… I want a more funky…”
I HATE the word “funky”… so over used… shows a total lack of vocab in my opinion…
“… a more funky homepage… Yeah… uh uh… I want people to really go for it when they see it…”
… ho hum…
“Like I said earlier today…”
… in the studio..?
“… in the studio”…
You said the word “studio” a little too loud like you want to make sure that the passengers get it…
“I’ll’ go over what you guys need to to, but in the meantime… Hello? Hello? You’re breaking up…”
… no.. it’s YOU who’s breaking up… we’re traveling through the New Forest mate… not many trees with mobile masts attached to them… Shame… I wanted to hear more…
He tries a few times to ‘phone back… eventually he gets a signal…
Yippee!
“Yeah hi again…”
Go on.. say “it’s Dave” again… I dare you…
“It’s Dave again…”
I hope he finishes his call before I have to get off at my station… I want to hear all of this…
“Yeah… like I said, I’ll do the creative coding…”
Oh yes… he’s looking around furtively and he sure wants an audience big time…
“… and I’ll funk it up…”
Oh purleeeeeze….
“… like I always do, but what I really want is for that homepage to be real dynamic… er… you know… intuitive…”
Please DON’T say “funky again..!
“… like I said…”
… here it comes…
“… funky…”
Arghh!
“… what I really want is for people to have no way of not clicking on the enter button… yeah… uh huh… I’ll design that…”
Hmmm… he said “I’ll” a little too loud… so that whoever’s listening to him to knows that HE’S the man…. or trying to be…
“… but the whole homepage for me has to be full of dynamic, intuitive go-for-it-ness…”
!
“Yeah… ok… uh huh… ok… yeah… ok…. see you tomorrow in the…”
… studio?
“… studio…”
With a flourish he puts his mobile away… probably expecting a round of applause or for the rest of the passengers to be kneeling and bowing down to him.
So, if anyone sees a website that’s dynamic, intuitive and and has “go-for-it-ness”… let me know…
… sigh…
