Site Relaunched
May 15th, 2008
Well after a few hiccups, the revision to this site is up and running. It has been completely revamped front end to back end with some additions and subtractions throughout. This is the first code run for the new look and feel which is now running on WordPress. I’m hoping I’ll have some time in the near future to do some code cleanup and fine tune some of the plug-ins I’m using.

CrunchGear Launches
August 11th, 2006
Everyone has their usual website that they visit on a regular basis. For me I’m really interested in technology so I like to visit sites related to that topic such as Engadget and Gizmodo. I recently started reading Uncrate as well. The three sites really have some interesting blog posts and it’s a good way to kill time. I mean I even have my own gadget blog called lightenment. Today I came across the site CrunchGear. It is similar to the other sites but since I also visit TechCrunch on a pretty regular basis I figure I would give it a shot.

MySpace.com Redux
July 24th, 2006
The Sidejob has a redesign concept of the Myspace.com home page. In my opinion, the concept of Myspace is great. The actual coding of the site and reliability could be worked on. Of course I’ve never had to deal with a site as large as this, but I can still ask questions and maybe give some suggestions.

The Network Unbound
May 30th, 2006
FastCompany has an article about TagWorld and other next-generation social networks. I guess it seems like everyone is trying to capture some of the popularity created by MySpace. The article hopes to show how companies and individuals are changing the way they communicate in order to create more efficient business.

Yahoo! Photos Beta
May 29th, 2006
Demo.com has a pretty cool video demonstrating the next revision to Yahoo! Photos. There aren’t too many products out there that impress me right off the bat, but I have to say from watching this video, I’m very impressed with the improvements made in the new Beta. By utilizing the Web 2.0 concept in the latest version, Yahoo is able to utilize AJAX and create their online photo album program seem like a desktop application.

Yahoo Updates Home Page
May 16th, 2006
Yahoo has released their updated home page. I had seen screenshots of this before, but I think this is the first time it is available to the public. Overall I think it looks a lot better than the previous page. The look and feel is a lot lighter and that’s easier on the eyes, which is important for a page with that much content. I felt that the old page overburdened the reader with too much distraction. This new page appears to be a step in the right direction.

Dynamic Drive CSS Library
May 10th, 2006
Dynamic Drive has launched a section of their website dedicated to practical CSS codes and examples. The examples shown are similar to the CSS Navigation examples that I had blogged about a couple of weeks ago. It looks like they have a few tutorials but have a long way to go to call it a library, but since the site just launched it is a good starting point for people looking for some CSS tricks.

Yahoo! Releases Tech Site
May 3rd, 2006
Yahoo! has unveiled a new tech site called Yahoo! Tech. It’s pretty clean and innovative. It uses popular tagging in the top section to help find products you are looking for by category. The main section with the top features is a little annoying to me because it has a huge advertisement before it shows the content. At first glance I thought that it was just a big ad on the front of the page and I didn’t even notice the main content.

Screenshots of Google’s New Search Result Screen
April 23rd, 2006
Cybernet Technology News has some screenshots of a new search layout that Google is testing out. The new layout is very similar to the old layout except that it has an expandable arrow to show more information about the site such as a thumbnail and more content. Also available is the ability to search within that site.
