Wake Forest at Stanford Football!!!!!!

New Mascot, New Uniforms, 3-0 Record.


Yeah that's right, a new mascot...well at least the mascot uniform. The Stanford Cardinals still have a Tree as a mascot but it looks different...what else that threw me off is Stanford's new uniforms for football! Yes they are ALL BLACK!

CSS Zen Garden


View Site Here

There are many ways to go about creating a CSS Zen Garden and everyone views their Zen in a different way. But what is Zen? Dictionary.com define's it as this:


"A Japanese school, of 12th-century Chinese origin, teaching that contemplation of one's essentialnature to the exclusion of all else is the only way of achieving pure enlightenment "

Flickr user?

Are you a Flickr user? I am...

You probably wonder why you should car if I am or I should care why you are a Flickr user. But do you ever wonder how people are sharing your photos through their blog aside from screen shots or right clicking? Well there is another way, and that's by using your user ID, yep that is right, your user ID. There are a lot of things that Flickr can be used for especially when you want to share your photographs with the world, but for people who take photos for a living, this is called stealing. One way to prevent people using your images via your user ID is by regularly checking who you are considered a contact by or with. Rule of thumb... they have nothing to share or have half naked girls as favorite photos, then that means that they are stealing your photos.

CSS Zen Garden


Getting ready to design my CSS Zen Garden has been harder than I thought. I started out by thinking up designs and that has been the totally wrong thing for me. I found that I work better as I go. Meaning... that I need to start out with a layout or a wire-frame to follow. As I looked through the different excellent designs by others who have submitted to the Zan Garden one had grabbed my eye, and that was the layout that I plan to use, Horizontal.
