To follow my own advice, I spent my free time today trying out the newly updated Pixelmator 1.4 with a blurry picture of mine that was on its way to the trash bin. What come out of it is a series of artwork that I called “Walking Down…”, It’s nothing professional of course, but I do like the results. Not only I gave new life to a picture that I was going to delete, I was also able to walk down the streets of New York without leaving my apartment! The one I like the most is…

The brief appearance of alternate headers during the LA trip was an experiment to see what other colors and graphics fit the look of this blog. I have a huge philosophy for the headers. They represent the 4 different themes from the old blog in Blogger, which in turns represent the four things that not only are my passions but have influence in my life as well. I was a bit wary to add more headers. More is not always good, they need to be fitting if I should add …

The evolution of this blog’s theme continues with a slight adjustment of the color scheme. It’s getting a bit darker with the change of background and navigation and bottom bars. The idea is to make the contents in the middle “pop” out a bit more!
In addition, since this coming week I will have to travel to Los Angeles for my best friend’s wedding. To commemorate such an occasion, for a limited time I will run 4 special edition headers in place of the regular ones. It’s also my way of saying that I …

Building something from the ground up is difficult, but adapting someone else’s work and make it into your own is not a easy task either. I am talking about blog themes. It’s been more than a month since I launched version 4.0 with a new theme on a new platform. So far I am extremely happy about the result. Of course nothing is perfect, I am constantly trying to improve it.
Since the launch about a month ago, one area I have been trying to improve is the navigation of the …

It’s been 4 years since I started this blog. Last year to celebrate the occasion I gave the blog a total facelift with 4 switchable designs. I wasn’t going to re-invent the wheel so quickly, so for this year I set my eyes on improving the existing themes. With the switchable system in place, the update was much easier than ever before. Therefore, to celebrate this blog’s 4th birthday and Harry Potter’s birthday – which is tomorrow if you remember from the books – I announce the launching of a newly re-design Wizard theme!

After the big launch of version 3.0 of this blog, I am announcing I just added something to the blog, something very very small. You might not even notice it. It’s about 16 pixels x 16 pixels big. You guess it right! it’s favicon! The choice is obvious, what’s better to represent Harry Podder who lives in the Big Apple and Love Apple than the shape of lightning and apple? The main decision comes down to the color combination. I might change the color later, but …

Today marked 3 years since I started this blog. To celebrate this occasion, version 3.0 of this blog is officially unveiled! When you visit the blog, one of the four new themes will be selected randomly to greet you. You can switch between the four new themes and the classic theme using the different style links in each of the header or the simple text links on the sidebar.
Each of the four themes represented something that is important to me, something that I like a lot and …

Even though there seems to be very little news about my blog project this month, but trust me, i am working on it! I am finally up to my last theme. I had used different design elements and technique for each theme. I have done the distressed dirty look, the clean web 2.0 look, the busy color very energetic look, and for this one, it will be a bit more elegant and classy. To achieve that, I will be using ornate elements, maybe a little of …

Some designs come upon you accidentally. Such is the case for my second theme. The second theme looks nothing like I imagined first in my head. But it come out a whole lot better than I ever thought! It took on a cartoonish look that I didn’t expect but the coloring and the style is just so energetic that I quickly go along with it wholeheartedly. Within days I got it finished and move on to my next theme. Yes, there’s a total of 4 …

I can proudly announced that the design is pretty much done, save some last minute tweaking and touch up and it’s ready to go live…but you are still not going to see it for at least a few weeks. Why? because this project involves more than one design! Yes, the next new look of the blog will be a switchable design that let you choose the different themes I will have! naturally I need to make more than one theme for it to work. Most of the …
