Apparently, the US Government has seized more than 70 domains, because they have something to do with counterfeiting goods and online piracy. This came directly from Homeland Security Investigations (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Here’s an example of a seized domain. One of the worst things about this is that any domain can be snatched up without notice whatsoever. In fact, the go through ICANN, and not public domain reigstars like GoDaddy. This just goes to show that no one is safe. The Government has the power to do what they will – even online, where people are supposed to be ‘free’.

I created HTML:CSSJunkie a few months back. I guess I never officially released it here, but then again, I stopped posting after a while. After a recent reddit post, I have successfully regained interest and decided to keep the site active. So, please welcome HTML:CSSJunkie to the world!

Back in the day, I was experimenting with my style, still finding myself design wise. I was rockin’ that ’10px really tiny text’ look. This phase lasted for a while. After all, it was my site and my visitors were around my age, therefore they could read tiny text! Not to mention, that’s what was ‘in’ way back when.

Eventually, as I transitioned away from Neopets and Graphics sites, I took usability into account. I realized that small text really wasn’t doing anyone a favor (especially my vision).

So, I have realized that for some people that have access to Photoshop, they can be scared of such a big program. I’ll admit — it isn’t a cup of tea.

I’ve just recently been saddled with a big design project, and truthfully its been getting to me. So to help myself compartmentalize and begin tackling this huge project, I used a simple method of dividing things up.

Its called a roadmap (yes I’m quite original) and its easy to make.

I am a very observant person, therefore when Facebook rolls out some new changes, I’m the first one to notice. On November 4th, I saw that they made some minor yet harsh changes. …Sigh. Oh Facebook, why?

SoDevious is hosted at ASmallOrange, and I thought that I would share some exclusive coupons that I came across. When I have problems, these guys are quick to respond. Not to mention that they are an actual company, not little kids trying to sell you stuff. Did I mention that they also support reselling?

I tried to study while reading my textbook and listening to some Katy Perry. You wanna know what I found? It was harder to pay attention to what I was reading. I have come to the conclusion that the catchy beat and lyrics just give us too much distraction.

For many, the first impression of your website can say a lot about the kind of person you are. After all, that’s all we really have to show people who we are online. For example, if you are labeling yourself as a designer in your portfolio, but use (or buy) a template, what does that make you?
