My first reaction to seeing the Show Top Commentators plugin was, “Is commentators really a word?… Seriously?…” But after I looked it up and found out that it was, I next thought, “Hey, this is a great plugin to show some love to people who comment on your site!” After all, a reader is essentially […]

I recently participated in The Paper Bull’s community blog project and man was it fun. I went out onto the web and found myself a site I had never seen before and I just wrote a post that praised them. Teresa does some incredible work, so it was not like I struggled to find good […]

I will be participating in the Blogging silence day on April, 30. I realize that this has become somewhat of a controversial subject, i.e. whether or not we should be silent, but this is what I want to do. I was not personally touched by this event, but I just want to show my respect. […]

It seems to me that one of the most underused plugins for Firefox is Stylish. It allows you to customize the stylesheet of any website. Don’t like the look of YouTube? Just go ahead and modify the stylesheet yourself! This plugin can really only exist thanks to web standards. Obviously, the tool isn’t as powerful […]

Pardon this interruption of your regularly scheduled web design info… I have a random post to get off my chest. Recently, my International Trade professor wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post. It is entitled, No More Second-Best Trade Solutions and it discusses the recent happenings in US trade news, especially concerning China and […]

I have decided to partake in the Community Blog Project put forth by The Paperbull. The idea is to simply find a blog (he suggests one that you didn’t know about before) and just promote that site in one of your posts. It really doesn’t matter what length or format you have chosen, so long […]

John Chow is up to his usual antics again. He is running a new contest where you can win a Zune. This gave me a chance to ponder one of the greatest questions available to man. A mystery surpassed perhaps only by outer space or belly button lint… Do I want a Zune?
Let me first […]

So it was about time for a new template. My V2 theme from Derek was great, but as far as practicality goes, the theme wasn’t exactly optimal. It just wasn’t the most intuitive design. However, design wise, it was cutting edge and very attractive. It had a ton of great ajaxy features (and I highly […]

So I took this very scientific and highly accurate test to see whether I am stoopid or not. It seems that I am not too stupid, but I have 14% room for improvement. I was seriously bored and found the test entertaining. So if you happen to find yourself ever so seriously bored, I recommend […]

Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well lit place in front of your computer.
Log onto MSN and ICQ (be sure to go on away!). Check your email.
Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it.
Walk down to the vending machines and buy some chocolate to help you concentrate.

This is one of the funniest (read: geeky humor) things I have seen in a while. The premise is simple. We all know the different kinds of Operating Systems. We also have many complaints about all of them. Then, there are the airlines… well, they pretty much all suck. So, what happens when you combine […]

Well, in case you hadn’t heard, there is this really nasty disease going around and there is a desperate need for supporting the fight against it. Now, in principal, I am against the “Red” campaign, because on a $250.00 iPod, very little is actually donated. But, a dollar is a dollar, and so if you […]

Well, I have to apologize to my 8 readers, because I have not been able to write very much as of late. School has really been kicking my ass. On top of that, I am leaving for Texas this weekend, so I have to get a whole bunch of assignments done ahead of time because […]

That’s right! You heard me! According to a very reliable source, I am the 611th blogger! Well, no, not in the history of blogging… but *on a list of 2000 bloggers. Now, you might be asking yourself, what list? What are the criteria? Is Boing-Boing number 1 as usual?… Actually, no. This list is just […]
