Tablefest

A couple of months ago, a friend of mine tried to sell me a grave. I’m not the type of person that wants to be burried. I’m the cremate me and blast-my-remains-to-space, or dump-it-in-the-ocean, or mix-it-with-the-cement-of-my-25-feet-statue type.

So I joked that I’d rather get a condo. She thought I was serious so a week later, she called me again and gave me a list of areas to choose from. I said I’ll think about it. Then last week, her assistant left me a message for a follow-up and I found out that they’re working for Moldex Realty, Inc.

I really have no intention of looking for my own place but I googled for this Moldex thing anyway. I saw their website.

Whenever I see a website that is not media-oriented that shows a splash page with Flash, I get this first impression that it’s going to be a bad website. My expectation was just about right but I sort of liked the Flash intro.

It was designed by WebFocus. I checked out their portfolio and clicked on something that would probably look neat. They have a good Flash animator. The rotating 3D mesh of a crane is cute.

What sucks is that most of the sites that I looked at used tables. It’s really a shame that most local web design studios still use tables. It’s Dreamweaver’s fault. Machine-written code. Ugh.

Adobe seems to be correcting things now. They’ve done lots of things that pleases me recently. I just hope that it happens faster or more often.
