This video, not safe for work or lunch, leaves me speechless. By the way, if you come to this site and expect only clean content, then you have come to the wrong place.

Update: The cakefart.com server is down due to heavy traffic. But here is another video for your amusement. This one reminds me of a bus trip I took in Viet Nam from the south to north when an European chick requested the bus driver to pull over for a bathroom break. She ran quickly off the bus and ran right back asking the driver where is the bathroom. He pointed to the field. She looked in disbelieve, went back to her seat, but decided to went down to do what she had to do. It was dark out so no one could see her anyway.

Alright, enough pollution for Friday.

Technical Stress

Three days passed, I still could not recover my Maxtor OneTouch 4 external hard drive, which housed backup of my works and my entire MP3 collection. The hard drive was working fine until I started to backing up my laptop using Time Machine. Instead of backing up my work, Time Machine fucked up my work. Now my 500 GB hard drive doesn’t mount anymore. Time Machine sucks. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Your help will deeply appreciate it.

Last week, I bought a license of SoThink SWF Decompiler for Mac. I tried it out first before I ordered it. It converted a SWF file to FLA fine with the exception of ActionScript. Only the full version would decompile ActionScript. I went ahead and bought the full version and the damn software didn’t do the job it has claimed to do. I tried the web site and no U.S. number available. I emailed the company for support and it said that my email would get reply within 24 hours. Well, it’s been a week and I heard nothing. I emailed the customer department yesterday to ask them for money back, and guess what? No answer yet. So fuck SoThink.

Dealing with all these shit is so stressful, but now that I could write them down and get them out of my system I am feeling a bit better. I can’t wait to just relax over the weekend.

A clean, organized layout that gets down to business.

Green Olive Buffet & Grill

On our way home, my wife and I tried to decide whether we should go home and cook or just drop by the ghetto buffet for a quick fix. The heat was beating down on us, we were starving, and the big banner said “seafood dinner for $12.95” couldn’t hold us back. The place is huge and a bit messy, especially bathroom, that’s why I called it ghetto. Still, the food is decent. We stuffed ourselves with raw oysters, steamed crabs, Louisiana crawfish, steamed clams, grill shrimps and New York steak. The Boston clam chowder was also banging. It’s quite an enjoyable evening. Now it’s time to take a walk to digest all that seafood.

The New York Moon

I like the typography and the light-cream color of the New York Moon web site; however, the blue background seems out of place.

StoutLabs

A gorgeous site for a web design laboratory. Nice use of colors.

Clipse’s “Fast Life”

Poet of Piano

NPR profiles Tommy Flanagan:

One of many hard-bop giants to emerge from Detroit, Tommy Flanagan possessed a brilliant, sensitive touch which made him a first-call pianist for more than 50 years. Though his legacy remains under-acknowledged, Flanagan helped create some of jazz’s most memorable albums and served as a longtime accompanist for Ella Fitzgerald before concentrating on his own work as a leader.

Portfolio Updates

I have revamped both the Sites and Motion page. As for Graphics pages, I am not sure what to do with it yet or if I should keep it.
