We're Responsive

By Bob on April 20, 2015 4:37 AM

Say what you want about this site (There's only one of you out there, so you can say pretty much anything you damn well please) but we're progressive. I'm talking about being forward thinking...on the cutting edge...ahead of the curve...and any other cliché you'd like to use.

Lemme 'splain.

We recently completed a responsive redesign of the site that makes The Boomer Brief compatible with phones, tablets and other mobile devices. I'll admit that we were led into this redesign due to peer pressure...that, AND Google telling us we'd never advance in the search rankings if we DIDN'T do it. So there's that. 

Peer pressure...it's not all bad.

You'll never meet a nicer bunch of Marxists

No hard feelings. Google knows what it's talking about. Making content more appealing over these devices is what all the cool kids are doing these days. And, well, we want to hang with the cool kids, too. 

It was a huge risk. I mean if the design hadn't worked out, we'd be ditching class and listening to Metallica right now, instead of slaving away to bring you this bitchin' content.

You're welcome America. 

The Boomer Brief before the redesign.
Before - Boomer Brief 1911 - 650.jpgThe Boomer Brief after the redesign. It takes a lot of people backstage to bring you this crap stunningly good example of digital discourse and they don't work for peanuts (they work for pickles and Diet Coke).

After - Behind the scenes at The Boomer Brief-650.jpgWhat does this mean to you, the reader millions of readers?

You can take The Boomer Brief with you wherever life takes you...the airport...your favorite sushi place...out by the pool...waiting to meet with your bail bondsman...good times wherever you go.

This redesign didn't mean we had to change our office. No, your favorite website is still headquartered right where it's always been.

I know what you're thinking, but the rent is really affordable and you'll never meet a nicer bunch of radical rednecks.

Marxist Bob - 350.jpgSo, grab your tablets and phones and hover boards and take The Boomer Brief with you on your next trip to Wal-Mart. I can't promise you'll like what you read, but it'll look fabulous.

You know the best part? It'll distract you from the knife fights in the parking lot.

Diabetes-Friendly Chicken Burrito Bowl

Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.

Tips:

If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.

If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.

Health Bite: The iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc in black beans help to keep bones strong and healthy.
