Well, that certainly was interesting! visual! fun! microscopes!
reminiscent of http://www.zombo.com/” rel=”nofollow”>zomboCOM.
in a way that doesn’t involve: books. microscopes.
It needs to be longer.
That’s great, I was listening to Massive Attack’s Angel when I clicked the link.
Did I miss the story in Variety about Histology hiring an ad agency?
well, it was long, thats for sure
into –> intro
I have read a lot of criticism about my flash introduction. These comments are obviously written by those who are clueless as to the goal of this site. Some of these comments come from people who are so ignorant, that they openly claim to not even
know what histology is…but nonetheless, they blatantly criticize the means that this site achieves its goals.
The reality is that histology can be a very difficult subject to master. It can take hours and hours of studying to learn to distinguish a peripheral nerve from collagenous fibers or to be able to know the difference between the fundic region and the pyloric region. Histology can be tedious, dry and difficult.
This site (including the tongue-in-cheek flash intro) is not designed to actually teach histology, but rather to achieve an intangible…..it is a site for students to come to after hours and hours of looking in a microscope and studying….a site for them to come to and play…and in the process of having fun, to gain motivation and enthusiasm for the prospect of learning histology.
Those critical of the brazenness of the flash introduction are truly arrogant: they pretend to understand the goal of this site; but in actuality they are flaunting their ignorance, broadcasting the fact that they are unable to see what the goal of this site is, nor how the flash introduction helps achieve that goal.
Histology-World!
and yet…without context, as it would be for anyone but the intended audience, it’s not that at all is it?
“don’t touch that rock…it’s not debris it’s my best friend”.
“sorry”.
though, i did send the site to a friend who’s studying histolgy and she loved it. so…two missions accomplished.
Put me in the arrogant and ignorant list. I didn’t know what histology was until I looked it up. But now I do. Thanks Histology-World!
Mr. Histology-World Man:
Did I not say it was the best Flash intro ever?
Yes, you did. So did Zeldman….but Zeldman didn’t mean it….Zeldman said it tongue-in-cheek…..hmmm…kind of ironic, isn’t it?
No.
the definition of irony:
“Any of several southeast Asian evergreen trees of the genus Citrus, widely cultivated in warm regions and having fragrant white flowers and round fruit with a yellowish or reddish rind and a sectioned, pulpy interior”.
no..no wait, that’s the definition of “orange”. sorry.
haha!
