If your a screen printer like myself you may have seen these at screen printing shops.
The concept of the Flying wing is a good concept. It has a good handle as far as how the squeegee feel because the handle is made in a natural angle of the hands. The handle is pretty easy to clean as well with screen wash so cleaning it is a breeze.
As for the cons I still feel the the flying wing squeegee may be a little to heavy compared to a traditional straight squeegee. If you doing small jobs then its not really a big deal but if your doing a two, three color job at 600- 800 shirts it will take a toll on you.
If they made the squeegee a little lighter or equal to weight to a traditional squeegee then they would have a perfect product.
On the upside if your a beginner getting into screen printing it makes a good product to learn proper stroke angle when you do your prints.

Fire Fox Tips and tricks and reviews
One of the features I love about Firefox is the different keyboard options that you can use to tab on certain pages. For example you can click control t to create a new tab, Control + or minus to zoom in and out.
Control W is to close a tab
Control shift t to open a tab on your browser
And Im sure there are others.
Firefox has a cool plugin to save your bookmarks called foxmarks. Its a plugin that allows you to manage your book marks from any computer.

Make sure your site is searchable. - a review on a website
Two years ago I was asked by a non profit to examine their website. They asked me why their website was not searchable.
I told them I don't do websites for a living but I was willing to take a look and see how I could help them.
What I found out is that their site's information was in the form of a picture. Don't get me wrong the site was nice but their content was unsearchable. As you know if your in the SEO business you will know that content is king in the search engine world.
Here is what I am talking about. I'm not picking on this company but this is a company that has a good product but their front page is not searchable.

If you notice their site has the same problem as the non profit. Their graphical layout is pretty decent but you notice if you try to highlight any of their content you find that the content is in the form of a graphic.
A simple remedy for this is to create the graphic and set it as a background or place it in a css style sheet. This would take care of the search function. This is not just only on graphics with text but also look at how your web buttons are layed out. For navigation buttons remember to place an alt tag on the button so that search engines as well as people who use a keyboard to read words will be able to navigate your site. And if your in business you may want to do this. Its the law. I remember Target fell into this issue with their navigation on their website because some of their products didn't not have alt tags and were not searchable.
Remember when creating websites content is king. Graphics supplement your content so make sure your content and your design complement one another.
Have a goodnight but thats my website review for tonight.
