Last night was my final night of my web design class.  THANK GOD!  for the past 6 weeks I have been working on the redesign for www.babybrewing.com .  Working on my time between 10 pm and 5 am.  My son is so very generous in sharing me.  But I finally got most of it done yesterday (thanks to Dave, the web genius who looked at my code and said "ah, Kris, can I help you out here?"  OK, so I had dirty code.  Sorry.  I'm an amateur.  Let's be honest.  I took a community college class to learn how to do this. 

We were supposed to do presentations of our website in class as well.  Here I am in a class full of art majors and I'm supposed to sell maternity t-shirts?  The professor started with the websites of two friends that are in the class.  And when asked what the purpose or goal of his website, the first responded with this...

Guy:  Well, up until last week, I had planned to have a website of all the graffiti I have done over the years, but then I decided that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put all that online.

Crickets.  Crickets.

Professor:  I think the statute of limitations on that kind of stuff is 7 years.

Crickets.  Crickets.  

Well actually I think it is 3 years but either way, we are discussing multiple misdemeanors. 

Guy:  I did put one up on the website (and he flashes to the most intricate graffiti you have ever seen in your life).  Yeah, that's at 16th and U if you want to see it.  But that one's legal. 

God love him for realizing that putting his illegality on display for the world might not be such a good idea.  He had some other art up and I found myself giving him a speech about protecting his art with copyright during the break.

12 years in law enforcement and I'm telling the guy to protect his "art" with copyright?  At this rate I'll be smoking silly cigs at a Dave Matthews Band soon and selling moonshine out of my basement.
