I am considering enrolling and attending the Art Institute Online for graphic design. I may go back for the Web Design Diploma if I like it but I figured the actual graphic design would require more formal education than the web design would. Does anyone have experience with AI or know someone who does? I would love to hear about it.

Has anyone ever coded a webpage in Lisp? I am working on putting together my own website to sell Body Jewelry and my husband thinks we should code the checkout/shopping cart/etc., in lisp and do all the pretty stuff in HTML/CSS. He's always been rather fond of lisp but I'm not sure of using it in this format. He is against PHP because he believes it has a lot of flaws and leaks though PHP appears to be the most popular as of late. What do you folks think?

I recently came across this program called ReCapture. Basically when someone prepares to checkout and are filling out their information, but leave before officially submitting it, this program notifies the owner of the website. If enough information is filled in, like phone number and/or e-mail, the owner can then contact that person to find out why they stopped the checkout process. It's suppose to be used more as a customer service tool then as a seller tool. The owner/employees who call are not suppose to insist the person buys something or offer them other products, but just try to find out if the potential customer left for a reason they can fix, or if they just forget provide a reminder, or if they have questions answers them. I'm a little unsure about it, because I think it's a little envasive but a couple people I know rave about it. What do you guys think? (Also, the company can not sell/trade/etc., that contact information be in violation of the NDA. The same goes for trying to sell.)
