we hope you love it and share it

I sure did, and I sure will:

Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me, and with Thy love in my heart all the world’s afflictions can in no wise alarm me.

while we're at it...

... check out csszengarden.com, a site that beautifully visualizes just what is possible to do with only css.

html: tables, divs and css

this is funny:

from giveupandusetables.com

this is also funny. should I use tables for layout?

go to shouldiusetablesforlayout.com and make sure to check out the source code!

here is another example, throwing out tables.

I've been working quite hard to try to figure it all out when I'm designing my new stuff. it's hard, but I'm learning, and it seems quite simple as long as the design isn't too massive. examples to come later, promise :)

unity makes people happy!

a friend sent this to me:



and I started wondering - do people get the point? this guy is going all around the world, "dancing" with kids and adults regardless of their background, regardless of who they are, where they're from or what they do in life. the point is clear - he doesn't care who you are, as long as you come and dance and have fun!

click here to then read the comments - it's making people happy, they're crying and enjoying it a lot.

what is it that makes us so happy to see something as simple as this? there're no words (except for the lyrics to the song which we don't understand), there's no real story, there's nothing more. I think it has to do with the fact that it's reflecting a very underlying spiritual principle - unity in diversity. we are all members of one human race, and seeing this guy dance all around shows just exactly that. continent, country, class, creed, gender - we are all one.

The world of humanity is like a garden and the various races are the flowers which constitute its adornment and decoration. ('Abdu'l-Bahá)
