 If you already know spherical trigonometry and 
if you have a compulsive desire to apply it to floral design,
then the blog design*sponge tells you how to do it. 
Really, sort of.&#160; 
It’s a good article anyway, check it out here: 
“weeder’s digest: you do the math.”

<p><font size="4"><font color="#808080">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <strong><em>So Why Not Use Them?</em></strong></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3">When we first added PayPal to our Floral Design <a title="online bouquets" href="http://neibert.com/index.html" rel="tag" target="_blank">website,</a> we had mixed emotions about including the “Buy Now,” or shopping-cart, buttons on our pages.&#160; </font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2">The e-commerce doctrine of the day told us “you really must, MUST have an electronic <em>shopping cart” taking orders 24&#215;7 and spewing marketing statistics</em> out the back end.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">But they were ugly then and they’re still ugly now.&#160; More importantly, these crass buttons detract from the upscale elegance of Yukiko’s floral designs.&#160; Yes, but every floral website had such buttons, so all customers were conditioned to expect them.</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Well, that was then.<em>&#160; Now we find more of our clients prefer to call us up and talk us through some of the pictures on the website.&#160;&#160; They ask about seasonal materials, discuss design suitability for various occasions, budgeting,</em> and a bunch of other ideas.&#160;&#160; </font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="3">Some could get what they want from a “BUY NOW” button.&#160;&#160; </font><font size="3">But it wouldn’t be the same, would it?</font></p>
<p><font size="3">Got thoughts about our “BUY NOW” buttons?&#160; Let us know, or try the “COMMENTS” button (above).</font></p>
<p><font size="3">Oops.</font></p>
