For your browsing pleasure, visit CSS Zen Garden for some inspiration then head over to Exactitudes for some weird shit. Finally finishing off with Drew breathtaking Flash portfolio.

I was pumping Thanh Thao’s remix album in my car on my way to work. Had my windows down and the bass was pumping in the trunk. People on the street gave me weird looks. They must be thinking, “What the hell is this guy listenning to?” I didn’t give a fuck. I can jam to whatever I want. It’s all good.

I was watching some of Doan Trang’s music video last night. She is mad cute and her voice is not that bad either.

Meet Bamboo, a young hot Asian chic exposing her boobs to the public for free. She must got some balls (boobs) to do some shit like that. Hopefully, she’s the type of girl who doesn’t give a fuck what others think and do what she wants to do. I respect that. However, she looks more like an “Oriental Express” type where everybody get a piece. That’s not good at all. Oh well! Fuck it.

Spent my morning moved over to Keish’s office. I love it much better than mine. She had everything set up nicely so it’s much more organized with my stuff. On top of that, this office space will always remind me of my sweet friend. I also moved to a new apartment. It’s much bigger than the previous on and I have the whole studio to myself. Word up

I have a lot of respect for Dodo’s programming skills. Not only she had written quite a few very useful php scripts, she also created many hacks for b2 weblog. The most useful one is the toggle of ‘read more’ script, which I use on this blog. Lately she had written ‘reply to comments’ and ‘comments links’ which works nicely but I don’t find them too useful. The ‘reply to comments’ is fantastic but you can’t really tell who is the latest commenter. The ‘Comment links’ is quite nice but it shows that the site’s owner just slaps up the links without even actually visiting the sites. It doesn’t show the owner’s effort to personally write down the links. Whenever I post a link on my site, I always make sure that site is worth visiting and not just slap a link on because someone commented on my site. As a commenter, I wouldn’t want my name to be part of that list. Why? I didn’t comment your site to get a link. I commented your site because I like what you wrote and not to get my site promoted. Anyhow, I still wish I had half of Dodo’s programming skills. Keep up the great work, girl.

Jeff Johnson’s Web Bloopers deserves a space on every web designer’s bookself. The design mistakes he pointed in this book are incredible. Better yet, the solutions he provided are valuable. This book could be place neck to neck with Steve Krug’s Don’t Make Me Think. This book is well-organized, readable and full of both negative and positive examples. It’s highly recommanded for web designers who want to create usable web sites. Specially those who only think the visual design is the only important aspect of web design.

Check out my little nieces from Canada. Aren’t they adorable or what? You gals are so cute and I can’t wait to see ya. Uncle Donny loves ya.

New photos from Vassar 2003 Commencement project. Don’t know why there are mostly ladies in the photos. I didn’t do that on purpose.

Woohoo! I got a raise from Vassar. This is really exciting. I will continue to create clean, attractive, usable, accessible and easy-to-maintain websites for Vassar. On top of that, I will continue to push Vassar moving toward web standards using CSS and XHTML.

Wish Keish was still here.

I love battle lyrics. They show how skillful an MC really is. DJ Green Lantern’s Invasion Part 2 features battle tracks between Em and Ja. Damn! Em got his whole squad (50 Cents, D12) and even Busta on Ja. Em uses Pac’s ‘Hail Mary’ disses Ja and Irv Gotti. “You ain’t no killer, you’re a pussy. That ecstasy got you all emotionally moushy. Bitches wearin’ rags in photos. Ja’s words bein’ quoted in the Source, stealin’ Pac’s shit like he just wrote it.” I also love the part from ‘Bump Heads’ where Em says, “That X, got him thinkin’ he was DMX. Then he switched to ‘Pac now he’s tryin’ to be him next. So which one are you? X, Luther, Pac or Michael.” Ja verse wasn’t bad either. He freestyles, “Em, you claimed your mother’s a crackhead and Kim’s a known slut. So what’s Hailie gonna be when she grows up.” Ja also calls Em a “Feminem.” It’s funny to hear Em comes back with Hailie asks, “Dad, is Ja Rule taller than me?” Em replies, “No honey, you guys are the same size.”

So who wins? No doubt, Em crushed Ja. I really respect his lyrical skills. However, the best MC battle is still Pac. He was the realist. It’s unbelievable how much shit rappers steal from Pac these days. It’s such a shame. If he was still here, none of this shit would happen. He is still my favorite hiphop artist and his legacy lives one.
