Bet you’re wondering

So, anyone notice the Del.icio.us tags or my Flickr photo badge? Sweet huh? Want one? TOO BAD! Ok ok, just kidding. Here’s whatcha do. Go to Del.icio.us and create an account. Then you can start adding bookmarks, and add tags to them. That will create a Tag Cloud, which you can create a custom cloud like mine by going to their help section on tags at: Del.icio.us Blog Integrations

For Flickr, I’m not sure if you need an account, but you can get a badge tagged with anything you’d like (i.e. typography for mine, but could be harmonica, music, love, etc.) at Flickr: Make a Badge Fun stuff! You can customize it like I did as well, if you know a lil css/html.

Oh, speaking of, I used the plain black template for my site, and tweaked it to hide things, and add a header. I also changed some colors and added some borders. I usually copy the whole template and paste it into a new HTML doc in Dreamweaver 8 (MX 2004 should have decent CSS support, anything before that ain’t that great), and just manipulate some of the code to my liking. I don’t touch any of the automatic stuff in the HTML, just the look and feel of the site. The templates Blogger has to me seem to be very clean and great to work with. Ok, nuff geek speak. Have a good night!

Murphy’s

Law. Ack. So the big move officially starts on Saturday, perhaps as early as tomorrow if all goes well with the acquisition of the key. However, one other thing may stop me, that is my back. Yes, that’s right. A little moving at the beginning of this week and my back decides to stick it to me. My lower left back, to be more accurate. Alas. I am doing everything in my power to get it better, and hope that it will pass by tomorrow. We shall see. Just felt like complaining. Thanks for listening. ;-)

Clever lil Honda peeps

Amusing caption to go with: Behold Tall Mode! (Alpaca sold separately.)

This is from the new Honda Fit. Small car, but have some great options for space conversion inside. I love these new little cars, not amazingly sexy or anything, but fuel efficient and full of good features. Nice to see you can get something for your money. Not to mention with gas prices so bad, these cars can pack a punch with less bucks. I dig! Toyota’s Yaris is cool too, I think it’s a little sexier but smaller.

The new digs

Lil over a week left before the big move! Here’s a few views. Top one wth me is the kitchen, the one below is the bedroom, and below that with the windows is part of the living room (this is essentially the area where my desk will reside). Pretty damn sweet! Very excited, can’t wait to have it all worked out.

Brooklyn HEIGHTS

With all the new buildings being proposed for Brooklyn (USA), it seems to me that Manhattan is officially spilling over very quickly. Greenpoint/Williamsburg’s McCarren Park is losing more and more sunlight, factories are burning so progress can, well, progress…

Welcome to the new Brooklyn, same on the inside (inland), with a new skin (river front). I just wonder what this means for all those areas being gentrified. Oh, and you so-called artist hipsters that don’t want this shit to change, well, guess what? Blame yourselves for it, fess up to the fact that it was you that changed the neighborhoods. Stop being the whiney brats of NY, and grow up.

Tweakin

Amidst my boredum and cracked out tiredness, I’ve been working on the design of this blog yet again. New headr, much more my style, and it unifies all the pieces nicely. It’s not like my design at work, since I don’t have to deal with the coding there… I tend to limit myself more since I use this to get my CSS skills up to snuff. Anyway, nothing to blab about tonight. Goodnight!
