I'd wanted to start up a blog for quite some time, but could never manage to find the time to create a cool customized banner and layout for it. I finally realized that if I waited until I had the time, it was never going to happen, so in May of 2009 I started my blog using one of the standard plain old Blogger templates with a generic banner, with the intention of prettying it up at a later date.

Well, that later date is today. I finally made a new banner for my blog!

Drawn in Photoshop on the graphic tablet. As I've said before, Biff, the little bald guy there, has unintentionally become my mascot, the face of my presence on the web. I've been reusing the same two year old drawing of Biff forever, so I thought it was time to give him a makeover and redraw him. The text is hand-lettered, based loosely on a real font called "Lounge."

2005中国网络传播学年会海报 by 为民王

今天走过校园，看到了这张海报。其实这个会议我早在几个月前就知道了。不过如今才发现它竟然是和“网志年会”同时举行。据说方博士要来，共同举办单位还有新浪。看看会议主题，大多也和Blog等Web2.0的话题有关。因为有不少老同事参加，可能我也会去看看。

adii.co.za Redesign - Concept V1 by adiirockstar

1 18

This is the first version of my new redesign concept. Not entirely sure about everything yet... :)

Main differences are the fact that I'm now limiting the blog to only 5 main categories, which will feature a better use of tags for sub-filtering. There's also a strong focus on the aggregation of data / activity from elsewhere through the lifestreaming.

What do you think? :)

Longevity of Handmade Bed Frames by GetLaid Beds Ltd

Our handmade wooden bed frames have a long life-span. This is why our beds come with an 11 year guarantee, as we are highly confident in the longevity of our handmade bed frames.

We have a wide range of wooden bed frames, Four Poster Beds are perfect for those looking to bring the touch of a prestige and traditional wooden four poster bed frame to their bedroom. Our handmade low wooden bed frames are another popular choice, especially for those looking for a stylish bed but they may have limited room space.

Space Saver Beds have proved vital for those looking to maximise space in their bedroom. This is because the actual wooden bed frame is smaller than it would be with a standard bed frame, making it ideal for smaller bedrooms or attic/loft spaces. But no matter what type of bed frame you go with, we can ensure you that all of our wooden beds are of a high quality.

The interview I had yesterday with the anchor in Boston,

Check it out at

(this pic of my goofy smile was taken one year ago)

Transcript， Recorded by myself.

Today the torch arrived in Beijing for the final leg of the relay around China, we would like to hear how a Beijing resident feel about the torch finally coming to the city, so we contact Lu Shan, we first met her last year, she is featured in Mary Kay's young China series about the generation of only children now coming of age there. Back then Lu Shan, or Looloo she likes to be called was twenty years old, studying English and was putting a lot of her armature photography on her blog. a year later, Looloo is working at the British Council in Beijing and she still blogging, she told me she didn't personally witness the torch arrival in Beijing, but she did see the crowd is waiting for the torch.

Looloo: I pass by Tiananmen square almost everyday to work, so today when I was on the bus, I saw the really passionate people were waiting for the torch and the slogan, poster, like go China, just along the Tiananmen square, I felt a little bit excited even a little moved, at this point, (if you ask a Chinese), the typical answer is : this is the showcase for China, I agree with that but not totally.

Marco: Why not?

Looloo:Because this is not only the showcase but also the time to bring some changes for China.

Marco:If you could, Do you think you could describe for young China as a hole for them, would it be to much to say the torch arrived in Beijing is the moment of define your generation.

Looloo：Probably, this year when have many turbulence, the earthquake, the Tibet unrest, so this year is really like the young generation like me thinking about China and how the western media think about us, so I think things will be change from this generation.

Marco:Let's talk about that Tibet unrest, how do you and your friends feel now a few months after in Lhasa about Tibet.

Looloo:I have never been to Tibet so I don't how they feel about their life, but my Chinese friends who have been to Tibet said to me: Tibetans are really satisfied with their life, they are developing really fast, but all the westerner I know who has been there said Tibetan are really unhappy, so I don't know which one to believe, I really should go there someday experienced by myself that I can give you the judgment.

Marco:When the torch was being run in other countries and they face the protest over Tibet, we've hear a lot of young Chinese who are angry about this, were you one of those people?

Looloo:Not really, but I know a lot of my friends are angry about the protest.

Marco:Are they still angry?

Looloo:I don't know, maybe still angry (something to add: the angry has became excitement!)

Marco:It's interesting you listen to this program everyday, you download in your cellphone, I don't even how to do, so it is important to you at least to know what other part of the world think about China, what are they saying about it?

Looloo:It's really helpful for me to have more comprehensive view of the country, and I think the difference is the westerner see criticism is the sign of critical thinking, but here is different case, if you criticize China, it's kind of like insulting and not patriotic, but I think more and more people will like me.

Marco:with all this focus on China and Beijing right now, and games, I am curious what are the concerns for your country after the Olympic leave town.

Looloo: I hope that after Olympic, something will change like they still care about pollution, have more freedom, the media will be more transparent, and the average Chinese will listen to the world, what's their opinions, not only state run media.

Marco: Looloo, very good to hear your voice again, Thank you for speaking with us.

Looloo:Thank you very much.

Marco: LuShan, or Looloo is a young blogger living in Beijing, you can find the link to Looloo's blog on our website, a lot of it are in Chinese, but if you click around, you would find there English too, just go to theworld.org
