I’ve had a new-fangled smart phone for the past 4 months now, and I’ve been using it to read the news whenever I’m on a bus, or train. I’ve found that some sites understand their audience better than others. After looking into it some more, I realized that by far the best of these sites is CBC.ca.

Today I noticed a couple of new additions made by google. First, is the addition of themes into gmail.

This past Christmas we went on a trip to London, and had a lot of fun. I’m not one for posting pictures on facebook, or anything but after hearing about animoto I decided to give it a try. It’s a very neat service!
I worked on the website a while back and tried to incorporate a database with dynamic scripting, but never got to the final step. I had some problems importing the old data, and I need to fix that.
