The Submission Series is a no-points format wrestling tournament held a couple of times a year around BC. It features some of the best grapplers around while the rules format fosters an all-out style of play. This website was built using Wordpress and features a clean black-white theme that represents the straightforward nature of this tournament- you win by submission. The content is basic but more stuff will be added soon.

I didn’t expect some of my web buddies having difficulty getting MooTools to work. Well, the solution was downright simple- The demo page has a READ HERE FIRST that clearly states that a piece of extra code has to be added to the existing javascript for all the demos. :)

4GB RAM Upgrade

Been running with quadruple the stock Macbook ram for a couple of days and I have to say, it is sweet! The dashboard doesn’t have massive lag, and everything else doesn’t choke the second I start doing heavy work.

I tried a different approach since I seem to have a reputation as a layout/typography type of person. Figured in one night I would become vector happy and see if Vectora (the font of choice for this project) will hold up. (read more)

Be careful with URL legibility

Be careful with URL legibility

We use underscores and dashes to circumvent the no-spaces rule when it comes to URLs. But when it comes to a domain names, everyone prefers to have the individual words combined. However, we should be careful with how you mix and match words. This photo was featured in a Treehugger post and the thing is, I thought the site was RECHARGELT, not RECHARGE IT. After all, base on the post I thought that, rechar-gelt, sound French enough for me. But then I noticed the California license plate and and had second thoughts. It technically also reads RECHARGE-IT, which makes more sense in the state of California. Taking the jump confirmed my suspicions… (read more)
