The following link will take you to an homage to the flash preloader. The traditional (orginally designed by Apple) circle spinning and spinning is just one boring way to go.

Check out the variety of animations from a wide diversity of web sites. You feel like waiting and feel sorely disappointed when a flash site is done loading. Here’s a place close to heaven for you then.

No, the link will not, I repeat will not, take you to a nasty site but to heaven for preloader lovers...

Here a fine assorted collection of memos directed to myself and those who might have interest in making subtle approaches to the oppposite sex…

Worth the pain?

Now That’s What I Call A Tattoo

Hardcore fans have to go for it. After a second or so I had second thoughts on my decision to order that tattoo for me at my trusted tattoo shop (trust and tattoo shop mentioned in one sentence). Thus, I now consider having it sprayed since I might get tired of the Spidey suit.

Also, this reminds me that I need to watch the Spidey 3 movie since I sort of missed out on it last summer (2007).

There are certain signs that can tell you whether or not you’re in a healthy condition or relation to something you like in life. Signs suggesting that you need to get over the Web 2.0 addiction of yours, to stop taking your online life too seriously and to get a life are listed in joyoftech.com’s comic called Signs You May Need to Get A New Life. In case you feel like ticking all options and failed to find a Gmail-ish “Select All” button, it might already be too late, my dear friend. For you out there in desperate need of this button, I altruistically provide one. Take the test after the jump.

American teenage subcultures are featured in the majority of American teenage movies. As a result, teenage movies are loaded with stereotypes. We’ve seen American Pie, we’ve watched Mean Girls and most Europeans love to watch American TV productions. You name them. Shows and movies dealing with teenage troubles automatically are set in a world that is divided into social groups, the so-called cliques.

American High Schools evoke stereotypes in our heads, don’t they?

Today being 3/14 (American date format) I am happy to announce that Phil’s Blogging is going to hold Pi Day Celebrations. Here some facts about this oh so mathematically holy day:

• The Pi Second will strike on March 14 at 1:59:26 pm. Make sure you take in a solemn position!
• The Pi Approximation (Annäherung) Day is considered to be 22/7 (European Format – yep, that’s July 22), since 22/7 roughly equals Pi. The Pi Approximation Day comes second (in measures of “importance”) after Pi Day on March 14.
