Flavor of the Season
on 08 Dec 12
After numerous hours playing with gradients, we finally produced a rich and creamy holiday card.
Please enjoy a unique OnWired twist on an old holiday favorite.
Twas the night before the site launch when all through the web
Not a line of code was stirring, not even a <head>
The tabs were all hung by the nav bar with care
In hopes that OnWired soon would be there.
The developers were nestled all snug in their caves,
While visions of breadcrumbs danced in their brains.
And Tony in his kerchief, and Jon in his cap,
Had just closed their MacBooks for a short winter’s nap.
When over in the design room there arose such laughter,
Jon sprang from his yoga ball to see what was the matter.
Into the design room he flew like a flash,
Where Megan & Sean were having a laugh.
When what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature developer, and eight tiny computers.
With little old fingers, so lively and quick,
He knew in a moment it must be St. Brett.
More rapid than eagles his CSS came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called it by name!
“Now margin! now, width! now, padding and color!
On, float! On, background! on display and border!
To the top of the browser and into your grid!
Leave Textmate behind and get on to the server!
So on to the server the code how it flew,
With a body full of design, and some Java script too.
The pages, how they flowed! The search placed so neatly!
The block text intriguing, and the links loaded promptly!
The custom new logo was drawn by a pro,
And the sleek liquid background was white as the snow.
Then, with a wink, and a Lil’ Wayne skip
St. Brett boarded his little hypertext spaceship
And I heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight,
“Happy browsing to all, and to all a good-site!”
Ok, ok, it’s quite cheesy, but we had fun with it. Happy Holidays!
