Fridges - Platter or no Platter

Not really graphic design related, but anyway.

This weekend, I went looking at fridges for our soon-to-be-renovated kitchen. Being a child of the sixties - one of those fridges with 2 side-by-side doors, an icemaker and chilled water dispenser has always been my aspiration.

These are very available and quite affordable, but they come with a downside. They won't take platters (because each side is narrow), or if they will, they are over a meter in depth - which means you have to have kitchen benches that are a meter deep if you want the fridge to be flush. Or have a sticky-outie fridge - and no one wants that in a modern minimalist interior.

They have two door fridges with freezer draws (sounds like a good idea until you try one). They have one door fridges with freezers at the top. But do they have a two door, freezer below wide model with an icemaker . . . not that I could find.

So, the perfect fridge would be wide (for the platters), with an icemaker, and chilled water in the door, and a freezer at the bottom (not in a drawer).

If you find one - I need to know

All web designers should be a part of this list

Design on the web moves at such a pace. I find it difficult to keep up.

I have some regular sources I check on. Some are in magazines, but most are online.

A List Apart has been around in one form or another for a few years. It is a community of contributors that want to share their knowledge.

It's probably more for the designer and developer rather than the client.

I hope you find it stimulating.

Looking for the perfect Web Designer

Advertising for a new member of our team can be a daunting experience.

Firstly, it makes you confront what your business is about, and nail down what skills you're in need of.

Secondly, creating a new position, means that you are making a committment to a person, to keep them in wages, and work.

Thirdly, bringing in a new person can change the balance in a small organisation.

And fourthly, in this modern world, with internet advertising, you have to wade through scores of applications that don't even meet your minimum requirements. Unfortunately the convenience of the internet means you get a deluge of applicants that have just clicked that button on Seek.com.au that says 'Send Resume'.

Finally, it is also exciting. What will the new employee bring with them? A new way of looking at our clients needs? Better jokes round the office? . . . the excitement of the new ?
