Mahendra's Ties goes Interactive!

That is right! What better way to empower fellow citizens? Make it all interactive, so that the reader feels that they have some hands on the whole thing an' ting. Now, as soon as you see a colour mentioned here, you can rush over here and see what the colour is like.

I know there are some younger, hip coders out there who are probably thinking: "Why not just get a tv feed into the machine and give us screen captures?"

Dude, screen captures are so Web 2.0. And this is now! This is how we empower the nation: click here, click there, read a bit, compare, contrast, open a new tab, etcetera. The reader... I mean, the user then learns hands-on, instead of just passively looking at a visual. Passivity is the death of the nation.

Now, if only Plascon would make their site more intuitive...If anyone out there figures out where to find all their colours on one page, instead of arranged by different types of paints...

(And a wave to Jackson, WY, home of the Crabmommy and, literally, a square state)

This is sounding very exciting. But I am not sure I'm interactively interacting with Mahendra properly yet. Does this mean the old site is all gone or that you just have this funkified action over here too? man, you guys are so ubercyberdelic and techie. Exciting times ahead, no doubt, for Mahendra and the way in which we experience his ties. I eagerly await further briefings.
