A redesign in the works

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Yesterday I started working on a redesign for the blog. I was getting tired of the swirls and yellows. I’m not a yellow person really so I don’t know what prompted me to put them in the first place. So it’s back to the “darker” colors for now. Colors I’m more comfortable with … more at home with.

I’ll be cleaning up the categories too. As you can see, HTML, CSS are gone and they’ve been replaced with Design instead. Jeep will stay of course, but I might combine Jeep Write-Ups into Jeeps. I’m looking at only have 4 categories maybe and color coding them. Each category will have it’s colors and the posts will reflect that.

I’ll also be adding a lifestream. Since adii’s redesign, I’ve come to like that section very much. Since I twitter quite often and use delicious almost daily, I think it’s a vital part of me “blogging”. And I’m hoping to add The Web Squeeze in there too.

More to come!

Sharkwater

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

I’m not one to blog about movies but I will make an exception this time for Sharkwater. It’s a documentary that I just saw this afternoon on The Movie Network and it really blew my mind. It’s only 1:30 minutes long but at about 1:20 minutes in, I almost started to cry.

Not something you would normaly do when watching something on sharks. Yes … you heard me. Sharks! Did you know that shark fins are almost as covetted as drugs? Yeah … poachers grabs the sharks, cut their fins off and put them back in the water. WTF?! How would you like it if I cut off your limbs and left you on the streets with nothing but the shirt you are wearing?

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

That’s right! Wednesday will be know as the Wednesday Font Round-up day now on The Web Squeeze! Looking for fonts to go on a certain is always really fun … well… for me it is. I seem to get creative all of a sudden when I see a really cool one! That’s how the last 2 wallpapers came about. So I’m regularly checking out DaFont.com to see what new font’s been added to the site.

So this week we decided to start a new series that will be posted every Wednesday. It will showcase fonts and dingbats, most of them free but it might happen that we’ll put up a paying one that you just can’t get by!
