Smooth navigation, simple layout with hot photos, Robby Cyron photography portfolio is sexy as hell.
I was watching Chris Rock, Bigger and Blacker last night. He cracked me up so bad. All his jokes were hilarious but the two cracked me up the most were: 1) He was talking the needs for men from women. Food, sex and silence. Feed me, fuck me and shut the fuck up. 2) He was explaining the different lies between men and women. Men lies about everything and it became our habits, “Yo baby, I ma go to my boy’s crib…” stupid stuff like that. Women lies, “It’s your baby.” Ouchhhh…. Highly recommended if you’re looking a hard good laugh.

Got a sneak peak at NML (Netomat Markup Language), a new language for the internet that is being developed by Netomat. Netomat Communication System allows users to create animation, add or import sounds along with digital photos and texts. NML is based on XML tags and runs on Java-based platform; therefore, it requires no proprietary plug-in. Although the idea is very interesting, it is still in its very early stage. The company is currently looking for beta testers, sign up!
It is snowing in Poughkeepsie, New York. The weather is nice and Vassar Campus is gorgeous. What a lovely Friday!
My office was being repainted and the odor gave me a headache so I took off with Kara and Keisha to Target to get some office decorations. Well, I didn’t get anything because I didn’t know what to get. It was a nice hang out though. By the way, Keisha new layout is so slick and sexy. Talking about sexy, check out President Bush, he is as sexy as a monkey!

That’s my boy Nate. I got him hooked on the song called “Some People Hate” by Jay-Z. I love the way Hip Hop beats mixed with Oldie drums on this track. The song is so creative although Jay-Z bit of 2pac’s lyrics a little bit.
“Raw rough and rugged, when addressin’ the mass public.
My attitude is fuck it cause motherfuckers love it” – Jay-Z
“Mama made me rugged, baptised the public.
Now you hard thugs, nigga don’t you love it” – 2pac
Spent some time with Samantha over the weekend. She is so full of life. I enjoyed every minute with her. Left behind all my stresses and worries because she made me so happy. She is my motivation and inspiration. Now I understand why people would want to have kids. I miss you so much, kiddie!
Great architectural drawings with a slick Flash interface. The Changing of the Avant-Garde website is clean and organized.
God bless our astronauts. Our condolences go out to families and friends of the seven astronauts died 16 minutes from home.
Love this song performed by Ly Hai. The beat is great and the lyrics reflect my feelings.
“Co nhung toi nghe mua roi that buon, lanh vang goc pho quen minh toi. Toi di tim trong toi, tim trong hoi men cay, mot hinh bong da mai xa tam tay.”
“In the sadness of a rainy night, I am walking alone in a cold city. I am searching within myself, searching in my intoxication, for an appearance that is so far out of reach.” Something like that. It makes more sense in Vietnamese 🙂
It’s time to renew ourselves. Change is good for any of us. Leave behind all the sadness and ring in all the happiness. Best wishes to you and your family for a prosperous and healthy new year.
My daily doses, Zeldman.com, is going through another redesign. The new look is just straight out clean and simple. So far so good!
