Some interesting sites...

Have you heard of HTML5? Responsive web design? Fluid design? I remember I saw TT shared something about HTML5 on Facebook. And I just got to now these 2 terms, responsive web design and fluid design recently. Gosh! I just checked this blog, and found out this post was half-way done since months! Never realize this until I ask myself again, did I share this website before?! So, the "recently" in the first paragraph, happened last year, probably in October. Recently, I mean last week as from now. Recently, me and HN was playing with HTML5 and JavaScript to write a web-based game for a puzzle that I encountered last July, in JB. Found this website for quite sometimes, this is a really cool website to check how well your browser supports HTML5. We started writing the game, however, the tags that we are using, so far only supported in Chrome. I am still not sure which "advance" feature(s) that we used in our code that supported only by Chrome. Anyway, so far as I ...

So long. I have not been updating this blog. Wanted to share this website since months ago. Finally, I found the mood to do this now. :P Found this web site from my current company's internal site. I was fascinated by the capability of this site. Of course, it's due to nothing but the list of public holidays. :P You can select the previous year, or current year, or even future year for any country (I didn't go through the list of countries), and get the calendar with public holidays information! I am not sure if it is really accurate, as I just checked out the CNY for 2014, it happened that the first day of CNY falls on 31th Jan, but the second day is 3rd Feb. :P Probably it's the replacement holiday! (Wow! It comes with AI feature?!) Other than that, you can select options, the design of the generated calendar. And it's free! It has not only calendars, but also the time information around the world, time zones, and also weather around the world. You can ge...

Weibo (微博）is something like Twitter, Chinese version. This is the second Weibo introduced here. The author of this Weibo put this as the introduction : 但愿每一句深情的表白，可以拨动你寂寞的心弦！ 真的不大願意用英文來介紹這微博，不會翻譯那一句簡介。Google translate說是：I hope every one soulful confession, you can toggle your lonely hearts!要怎麼翻譯嘛～ Anyway, I found this Weibo very interesting. I think writing love letter is something very sweet. The writer must be in a very happy mood while writing it, whether or not the recipient like it. :P 開心就好嘛～ I never thought such romantic thing would really happen... Until someone in my office have a bottle of chicken essence on her table with a little note yesterday morning, "當你覺得累的時候喝。。。。“ From anonymous. This is so sweet! No one claimed to be the happy person. Just in case if "you" reading this, it's not me who put the chicken essence. I would like to know who too! :D OK, back to this love letters page. It is not exactly love letters, but beautiful wording related t...

I have another photoblog to introduce here. I read about this special photographer that she takes her own levitation photographs. From levitation photos, you’ll see people (or object) are in the air, floating in the air. In her website, she mentioned, she is using Canon EOS 5D Mk2 camera. (I only know this as Canon DSLR camera.) This allows her can get to places as far as 10 seconds distance away from the camera. If she would need to be further away from the camera, she’ll ask someone to help to take the photos. To take these levitation photos, the shutter speed must be high, or else the object (person) will be blurred. I love this! :D Check out her website at http://yowayowacamera.com/

I got an email introducing this feature of pchome.com.tw few months ago. I saved the link somewhere so I can share it later. However, I can’t find it, and I have to dig the email from 1K ++ emails in my Yahoo mailbox to look for it again! So, this website kept in my mind for quite sometimes. And yes, finally I have time to do some clean up on my Yahoo mailbox and found the email. (Luckily I didn’t delete the email. :D) I didn’t try to upload my photos to check it out, but I did try the default photo in this web application to check out the lomo effects. Frankly, I still can’t tell what exactly lomography is, but I do have my own preferred definition. :P I read some articles online, some said digital lomo cameras are not the “real” lomography, they are “done” by software, not by the physical feature of the camera or lens. Some use software (the real software in your PC) to edit the pictures taken, to make it lomo-feel-like. Some didn’t explicitly spell out, but I think (at least...

Ever since YH introduce the creative photos from this blogger, I have been following closely to her blog. Jamie is a photographer from NYC. She updates her blog almost every day with stunning photos! Something very special about her photo is, it’s “moving”. Yes! She has some “dynamic” photos. I know about gif file, and I have seen people using gif file to showcase some part from movie, but I never thought of using this feature in photography! In my very tight and do or die schedule, her blog is something that I am looking forward, every morning, after I turn on my laptop before I start my work. Is she going to have those gif files again? Is this a gif file? These questions pop up in my head every time when I open my rss reader. Check it out. She also occasionally has some giveaways too! http://fromme-toyou.tumblr.com/ Example of her work :

I saw this magazine in one of the Popular sales, months or couple of years ago, I can’t recall. It’s quite eye-catchy because of the name “Cheers”. My idol’s name is Cheer. :P It’s mainly about work life, tips, success stories, and they even have power point slides available to download (for members only). Membership is free, in addition, they have VIP membership as well. They also offer courses and seminars as well. Couple of weeks ago, they have 方文山, a famous lyrics writer and also a poet in house. How I wish I can attend it… Anyway, the articles posted here give a lot of advices. For example, how to manage your boss (shh…. Yes, I did read this.), 5 typical losers, how to say NO, and etc. I personally really like the magazine (hard copy) and also this website. :) http://www.cheers.com.tw/
