This latest version of my site is an inspiration from css Zen Garden and About.me.  If you look at the source code, the HTML is very simple but the design is all CSS driven.  The layout is a total rip off of the about.me layouts and idea.  If you don’t have an About.me account, you should totally get one.  It’s a very simple idea but great idea.

Check out my website and tell me what you think.

Facebook profile pictures will never be the same.  This is just too cool of a site using face detection technology.  Let the embarrassing and creative photos begin. Billboard I'm really not that cool Jedi Yarr Gotta love my hair

This is a great website. Basically, these guys are experts at doing presentations to explain things that are not always easy to explain into plain English. They explain things like Twitter, Bloggin, Wikis, etc. If you have a chance, do a search on their site for something like “rss”. Also, check out their blog and they will show you how they create one of these videos.

Found this picture album by Balakov on Flickr.  He basically has recreated some famous images in history with legos.  The only weird thing for me on this is the expression on the lego pieces.  They are all smiling even in some more somber moments of history.

Here are the top four sound effect sites:

Instant Rim Shot
A timeless classic.  Something I can relate to.  Maybe it’s because I tell lame jokes all the time

Sad Trombone
My personal favorite for sure.  I think of so many get togethers where our subject of conversation could end with this. Apparently it’s the favorite of many because as of this post, the site is very slow.

Instant Crickets
I probably make this sound effect the most.  I really should get a copy of it and put it on my phone.

Emergency Yodel
Not sure about this one at all but oh well, it’s there.

There are some other great ones on the site.  Check it out.

Thanks to “Coach” who commented in my Flick River post, he/she suggest I check out Lite Flick.  Another interesting way to view Flickr pics.
