good periodic read

Good literature is hard to come by and especially in this era where everyone has something to say. In 1997 when I read Roger Black’s Websites that Work I was inspired, my fundamentals to web design became firmly established. Recently Jakob Nielsen, the Interface guru released Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity, its also another good book, but as a student, I am trying very hard to borrow one of the two copies from my school’s library.

Now I am gonna get myself a copy of Cre@teOnline which I think is a good periodic read & industry reference for web enabled individuals. Alternative is also a good collection of inspirational sites, if thumbnails of good sites is your inspiration then Cool Homepages is a site you must bookmark.

bug in my longtong

There was a bug in my “longtong” (soupy dish with rice cake). I think the bug hid inside some veggie and managed to get cooked and eventually ended up in my bowl. Hmm… kinda revolting, anyway do check out BugBios a very nice site which proclaims “shameless promotion of insect appreciation”.

myCTIV

I have finally got myself a pair of Chet Thomas IV by Globe Shoes. Have been shopping around for it for quite sometime now, but it seems that all the shops in Singapore does not carry it in white. I think its SGD$149 well spent.
