school stuff

So, I am procrastinating writing a presentation to teach how to do Information Architecture for web sites. I have one I have given the last few years, but it just doesn't get through to the students that, no, really, this is important. I have figured out a potentially good way to teach wire frames, so that is good, though it will be a bunch of extra work for me which of course I am not paid for. Grrrr. (that is leaving aside the fact that I am not actually an information architect, so i am pulling it out of my ass....)

Anyway, what I am fussing with instead is needing to create some extra content for a small e-commerce web development project. I haven't done this for a few years, and now that so few people use LiveJournal, I'm not sure how effective it will be, but I need to generate company names across some product categories to randomize the projects and last time everyone seemed to have fun choosing company names.

So, as much as possible the company names should be made up rather than real companies, but other than that, everything is fair, so last names, puns, wordplay, so forth are all fine.

The product categories I need company names for are:
Mustard
Jerky
Jelly/preserves
Salad Dressing
Ice Cream

Salsa is also on the list for the project, but I already have names for that since that is the base project I am expanding for this new project.

Sticky. Rice.

The sushi restaurant is full of children. There is edamame all over the floor. One small boy is bouncing in his families booth. Another is using his chopsticks to spear donuts and eat them off the stick. Apparently, "sit down", "face forward", and "chew with your mouth closed" are no longer part of the parental repertoire.
