...and Happy Holidays From Les.
09 Dec 2003 by Sarah Hatter
If you’re starting to get the holiday blues, stop what you’re doing, turn the volume up on your PC and laugh your ass off while Lester Nelson sings his favorite holiday classics. (My favorite is Frosty the Snowman, featuring The Do-Re-Mi Children’s Choir.)
Lester, by the way, gave me the best Christmas gift ever by designing the cover of my soon-to-be released book. (And, by the way, “soon-to-be-released” is relative.)

Oh my.
But the definitive version of Frosty still belongs to Leon Redbone...his yodel at the end is to die for.

If only you guys could have been in my apartment as I was recording these. 'Oh my' indeed. I was getting so into it, my eyes would automatically shut and I'd grab fistfulls of air to accentuate the most dramatic parts. In my head, I was performing for a huge audience that I terribly needed to impress.

I tried to think of a name of a large concert venue in my last message, but my brain wasn't functioning properly due to the fact that I just stepped out of an ass-freezing river and could only think of "Grand Ol' Opry" for some reason.
Carnegie Hall. There.

If an application is designed well, the reward for users is that they will learn it faster, accomplish their daily tasks more easily, and have fewer questions for the help desk. As a developer of a well-designed application, your returns on that investment are more upgrade revenue, reduced tech support, better reviews, less documentation, and higher customer satisfaction. The rewards of building a good-looking Aqua application are worth taking the extra time.
