Portfolio is live!

March 27th, 2007

I recently decided that I need an organized way to keeping track of projects and also at the same time, be able to showcase them. So I quickly came up with a one-page-layout portfolio, but it wasn't me. It wasn't showcasing my interests and talents in itself.

Here we go again!

March 2nd, 2007

The blog has gotten a complete makeover, so jump out of your RSS reader to see the new content-focused theme. As you can see, no more light-on-dark color scheme, no more JavaScript and hopefully, no more unreadable text. I found it frustrating reading some of my blog posts.
