Tribolum.com Making Light of Things

I received a text message just after midnight this morning. Unwilling (and / or unable) to crawl out of bed to the table upon which my cellphone was charging, I left it unread and unanswered. I’m glad I did, or I would have had trouble sleeping. I’m sure someone in Singapore had problems with excitement of her own.

Vanessa left me a message that she had been linked to the Zeldman himself. For those of you not in the web design know, getting linked to by Zeldman is akin to having the cast of Friends give thanks to you on television after winning their Emmy. Or Brad Pitt bearing his butt on screen with your name tattooed on it. Or Kim Jong-il writing your name on his first nuclear warhead with a sharpie marker. It’s a great honour - you get the idea.

Above all things, it shows that she’s doing something right, and I’m glad for it. She’s spent quite a bit of time on the redesign and her markup is impeccable. A part of me wants to turn hulk-green with envy, but I know good work when I see it.

Congrats on the Zelddie Vanessa! Way to go to put Singapore on the map.
