Bearskinplug
Kevin Cornell just relaunched Bearskinrug.co.uk (do they even have bears in London?) with a little bit of help from his friends, Jason STANdards Maria and me. While my JavaScript tomfoolery will most likely go unnoticed it’s quite obvious that a boy named Stan had a hand in this endeavor. Just look at the CSS—it’s a joke! (No really, there’s two of them and like all good jokes, they’re at IE PC’s expense). This site is crammed so full of quality content and humor it has literally spilled out into the CSS. It might appear that Kevin made the jump to standards solely to create new places to squirrel away his excess repartee but he has consistently produced spectacularly witty and gorgeous work for as long as I’ve known him (we go waaay back ;D) and this new site (and the content therein) is no different. Go now, and don’t forget to feed the bear.

Kevin, Stan, and Shaun on the same piece of work? Damn, you guys are making a lot of people very jealous …
Funny stuff. Clever site. You’re right, JSM’s influence is obvious. It was good for me.
No bears in London. What, you people never heard of Paddington bear, eh? eh?
Sorry Jeff, look again. I didn’t have anything to do with the design. Our styles are actually pretty different. The design on this one is all Kevin, I got to be more of a consultant and tech help (with Shaun).
Love it. Puts me in mind of real media. Inks, Pencils, Watercolors, Paper. Lest we forget all about the simple pleasures.
I’m off to do some crayoning.
It’s all so beautiful.
I like the joke :) We should put more jokes in all of our code. It also makes for fun work time when another programmer has to pick apart your code.
What a gorgeous site, and BearskinRug looks awesome too… design chops, mopsy flops.
I like the comments of each section in the CSS file. It really tells what you can expect from the code. Good as a reminder as well as when you would want others to work on your code.
I must learn to add more comments to my code as well… :/
The design is great, as are the jokes. Great job Kevin, Shaun & JStanM.
What a great example of excellent CSS commenting along with a hefty serving of laughter. Oh, the site looks good too :)
Very well done!
That’s great stuff, guys. :)
The all-out jokes are definitely a step up from the simple browser browser bashing I occasionally comment into my PHP and CSS, under the guise of instruction for whoever is working with my sloppy code.
Three things…
Thing 1… Bearskin Rug is fantastically wonderful. Thing 2… that Designlouge was the first one I ever saw. Interesting. And thing 3… I find page-specific Haiku to be the way to go with CSS verbal horseplay. Jokes at IE’s expense are also fantastic and appreciated, however. It’s nice to see some humor playing amongst the code.
