Lady: I don’t want to leave Ohio. It reminds me a bit of Texas except it’s colder.

GnR review

“A song like “Shackler’s Revenge” is initially average, until you get to the solo—then it becomes the sonic equivalent of a Russian robot wrestling a reticulating python.”

Co-worker Aaron: You know, I thought we spent our years in college so that we wouldn’t have to be out in the field turning wrenches on a Sunday afternoon.

A lot of thought goes into the design of fonts.

Here’s a little write up describing design techniques that we probably all take for granted.

Brian: What I don’t understand is that Zorro is able to be totally stealthy… yet he’s wearing spurs. Its, like, dude. All this would be so much easier without the jingly accessories.

Favorites and About.
Author: mike d.
Oct 31st

Dearest Readers,

I want to vamp up two sections of this website. The first is ‘favorite posts.’ If you look at the bar on the left and scroll down you’ll come to a list of favorite posts. Do any of you have any favorite posts that you think I should include in the list?

The second section is the About me page. Right now it’s passable, but not awesome. It definitely needs new photos. Any other suggestions?

Rock,
Mike D.

China Flag!

July 26th, 2006 by mike d. in china, Features

The Chinese Flag

The Chinese Flag is a red with five stars. Red is the color of the revolution and was mirrored in the “little red book” that was passed out all over the place during Chairman Mao’s reign (The book was a collection of quotations from the Chairman.)

The large star represents the Communist Party. The four smaller stars represent the Chinese people. Apparently their yellow color indicates the bright future of the country.

Stars!

For more information, check out the website where I got that graphic. It is located HERE and talks more about the symbolism of the flag.
