Normal? We'll see...

Some highlights of my day I thought was interesting, have to be quick since I'm in dire need of sleep!


 That doesn't not look very comfortable to say the least! The balls of the feet bearing majority of the bodies weight is just asking for trouble! There's a reason why god made our feet the way it does, well, instead of whatever shape that is. Just think, the stuff women put them self through to become accepted in society! Heels, makeup, and cosmetic surgery... and that's just to say the least!
 Oh the Swedish people! I mean if this was found in Japan.... Not so surprising, but I've always viewed the Swedish as more "classy" type of people if you know what I mean, with all that Rolex and chocolates. Well, I guess if you live in Sweden and your child is dire need of nasal relief you are only one snot aspirator away from fresh air!
 Image is self explanatory, who needs toaster ovens or pans when you can just pop bread in the toaster! I guess that college life living away from your parents just got $29.99 cheaper (Btw, I have no idea how much exactly a toaster oven costs so I just ball parked on the cheapest one).

The sounds of summer

Deceiving as the title may be, this post isn't actually about the music of the summer, but rather the entertainment I've surrounded myself thus far. As the boredom is slowly creeping it's way into my life after the high adrenaline exams, I've been watching a few television shows to change the pace and have a good laugh once in awhile. Two shows that have particularly stood out to me so far is Modern Family and Arrested Development. Modern family is a relatively new show with the pilot episode being in 2009 and successfully completing its second season this year. The major plot line being around a "modern" yet some what dysfunctional family. A very satirical approach at looking at the American dream, the shows focuses on 3 main families. The first family is a wealthy business owner into his sixties indulging himself with a beautiful young Columbian wife and her son, the second family consists of a gay couple raising a Vietnamese child, and finally the third family encompassing almost every aspect of the American dream with the soccer mom, middle working class husband and three children. My favourite aspect of the show however, has to be the characters that bring to life the comedy and humor behind each and every scene. Each character has some major faults and although expressed in different ways, affect the other members of the family on a hilariously but also urgent level.

In comparison, the second show "Arrested Development" is similar to modern family in that it is also revolving around a big family, although the Bluth family in Arrested Development is much more dysfunctional, similarities can be drawn both physically and through the humor. Interestingly, the characters in A.D. (Arrested Development) are much more developed than the somewhat shallow characters in modern family, and also builds around a much darker undertone. The amount of frustration and face palming I went through watching the first season of AD was all the more proof that is was captivating and hysterical. The plot of AD centers around the Bluth family company, a big developer for building houses around the United States. After the father (President of the company) is arrested for fraud and other illegal activities, his son Michael Bluth is forced to become the new President and keep is selfish money hungry family together. The main irony in the show is the emphasis on family - almost every episode, the phrase "family first" is mentioned yet relationships they share can hardly be called a family. I have yet to finish the series, once I do I'm sure I'll have a much better and complete opinion about it.

Orange Red Business Style Website Template

Newest design in my up and coming showing of over 10 professional looking business style web templates. For this template, I decided to use some more vibrant and dedicated colours. Again, I think I came up with this block style layout from a combination of inspirational web designs made by designers I've come across in the past. I am hoping within the next few weeks I will be able to finish coding the designs and have a public release for anyone to download and use.

In all honesty, I feel the use of blocks make any design very simplistic yet retaining the sophisticated look of a professional site. Although I didn't take the time to anchor or map the distance on each side of the boxes, the integrity of the overall layout is not compromised.

Web designing and website building!

It's back to business, a friend recently needed my help in building an entire site dedicated to web hosting and business directory. In addition, he needed a few web designs to possibly offer potential clients. I haven't done web designing for almost a year at this point, however, at one point I considered myself decent compared to the other services offered. Although I'm still a bit rusty at the coding, I've managed to brush up on some of the basic CSS coding and layout formatting.

Here's three designs that I recently came up with, only one of them is a fully coded and functioning website. I'm still working on translating the last two into complete functions. As you see, I'm very used to using block designs and working with dark backgrounds and depressing colours. Depending on what happens, hopefully I'll be able to post these web templates for free download and use!


 Basic black and orange design that is fluid with your web browser. Disregard the yellow highlights over words, as they are only markers for coding the site. First design after almost an entire year. This design is very simple while effectively demonstrating a stylish and modern website.











Here's my second design, this one I tried a different approach to the navigation as it is now on the side. It's a dark on gray layout so very useful for serious or professional uses. Again, not very complicated but serves its purpose as an elegant design.







Here's my final design, I modeled this layout after one of my parents' company website. This one is definitely my favourite design solely because I love using blocks, and this layout takes full advantage of that fact. As you can see, I'm slowly transitioning away from the dark and gloomy colours used previously.
