Kudos to Yahoo for revamping their homepage (http://www.yahoo.com). The new look is a little bit easier on the eyes, with better organization, aliasing on the icons… and the code behind the scenes is more standards compliant. One problem I noticed, though, is that they use an embedded stylesheet along with a mess of javascript that bloats the homepage significantly. Not a huge deal… Definitely a step in the right direction, though.

Wow.
I’m not a big proponent of flash-based design, unless it’s something that I think is really, really well done or the flash serves a purpose. The guys over at Funnel Design Group really surprised me with their Flash-based website. Their theme and execution is very impressive. The attention to detail is awesome.

New MSN Search Technology Preview
All I can say is … So far so good. I’ve been pretty disappointed with Google’s results lately. Most queries end up with results that have been hijacked by search engine garbage … or are completely irrelevant. Microsoft seems to be doing pretty nicely with their new search technology. The queries I ran returned pertinant results… no search engine garbage. Google’s going to have a tough time if they don’t improve the quality of their search soon.

I love technology.
I’ve been a busy little worker bee at home. I setup an 802.11g wireless network at my house. The D-Link router I got is pretty nice. My whole property gets a pretty strong signal. I’m able to use my Dell Axim, desktop PC and Apple PowerBook on the network now… all at the same time. With almost no lag whatsoever. I love technology. I also installed an 8x DVD+-R/RW drive into my computer.

Major Updates Underway
I made some major updates to the stylesheets and templates powering the site. I streamlined the code even further to (hopefully) speed up the site even more than before. I’ve got some pretty ambitious ideas for the site that I hope to implement over the next couple of weeks. One of the main ideas I’d like to tackle is implementing a real blog system into the site. This will make posting easier for me, and will allow visitors to comment on the stuff I add to this site. (All two of you.)
Oh yeah. More pictures are on the way. I’ll be adding them to the site sometime between tonight and tomorrow night.
