Here’s a list of [...]

Motivator posters can try too hard at times. I often found them a bit too much when hung at workplaces. Honestly, when I see one of those on the wall of a boss’ office, it comes to me as something insecure. Haha. Especially the one with “Leadership” on it.
But don’t get me wrong, these [...]

JavaScript is nice. However, there’s a tendency for these scripts to be unresponsive at times and that’s when Firefox immediately bugs you to either continue and wait for the script to run or to just stop it.

I’ve featured a couple of web resources for color scheme picking for design purposes. And I do have a bias for ColorJack:Sphere ever since I started using it. But for those of you who are looking for other resources on color schemes (whether you’re an advanced designer or a fledgling), here’s a massive resource [...]

If you’ve been using Firefox since the old days, you may have noticed that in version 2 (Bon Echo), the downloads history list automatically clears itself.

You just got to love Web 2.0 and the slew of web apps that’s sprouting all over. Ever wondered what song is playing in your head but all you can recall is the melody. That sucks especially if you can’t even string a few words in the lyrics to Google. And if you’re obsessive-compulsive, [...]

If you’re a movie fan, then it’s probably a sworn mission to watch all the significant movies of the decade (yes, we’re into the 2000s). You probably know of IMDB, probably the one-stop for movie details and information on the Web. They’ve got this section called IMDB Top Rated 2000s Titles where it features [...]
