I write about the things I find interesting. It’s really random stuff.

  • Finding the source can be difficult to track down due to the hierarchy of theming calls whose source can be spread throughout the whole system. From Overriding themable output | drupal.org regarding drupal theming Wow. There is a startling admisssion.…

  • I don’t intend for this to be trolling, but I was googling the term “Drupal is ugly” looking for why most of the themes which are formally submitted to drupal.org are so, umm, un-inspiring. This found an interesting blog post from a…

  • Clearly the developers of Drupal, a leading opensource Content Management Framework, are not designers. When they have to publish a 250-page book on theming Drupal—it means it is too hard.

  • John Gruber on Wall-E/Wall•E/Wall*E/… I always thought that the “Animated” category in the Oscars was BS. I mean, back in 2005, The Incredibles was easily the best film of the year, IMHO.

  • USA National Collegiate Badminton Tournament 2007 Watch it. Love it. It’s nice to see non-professionals play. They make mistakes, which is nice to see. The men’s doubles final was kind of disappointing. The first set, you can tell that neither…

  • I just purchased 2 Victor Super Nano 5 badminton racquets from a buddy that works at TGH. Played with one last Tuesday. I’m happy with the racquet. Off hand, I would say it’s an good intermediate-advanced racquet. Well-balanced with med-stiffness.…

  • So my brother had this great idea: Let’s run from his condo to the badminton club. GULP. It’s a 3.5 km run from Win’s condo to the club. It was pretty intimidating. I normally don’t run more than 4 km,…

  • You’ll notice that things are looking very different around here. Nothing special. Just adding some functionality and experimenting with different site templates. This particular site template is based on (for the time being at least), on White and Wild by…
