Every time when I need some pattern for website background or some design elements, I always end up betting on google and opening tons of tab just to settle down on some high quality patterns.

But now, fear no more, Subtle Patterns is a website that conveniently collected all the best pattern from around the web and put it in one beautiful place.

I think the best feature of the website are their “download” button, without any ads or hidden link, you just click the download button, and BOOM, it will straight download the pattern file that can be tile together.

So, what you waiting for, pattern UP !!!

View Site – Required Google Chrome

I have just been awe by the newest google chrome HTML 5 music collaboration between the band OK Go, the dance troupe and choreographers Pilobolus, and Google, you can embed your message in a music video and have the band dance it out. The band and Pilobolus dancers are filmed through a clear floor, making increasingly complex shapes and eventually words—and messages you can write yourself.

OK Go are well-known for their delightfully creative music videos, including Here It Goes Again, their first work featuring half a dozen treadmills, and This Too Shall Pass, based around an extraordinary Rube Goldberg machine—both of which have become extraordinarily popular on YouTube. We’re excited to collaborate with them on another project that finds its natural home on the web.

But the best of all, the music that featuring in the video, “All is Not Lost” are both inspiring and sensational. Below are the lyrics.

OK Go, All is Not Lost Lyrics

It’s coming down, babe
Could be as bad as they talked about
It’s coming down, babe
Could be before we can make it out

But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, no, all is not lost at all

And they could be right about it
They could be right in some crazy way
‘Cause if they yell fire, well that’s what we get
Yeah, they yell fire and that’s what we get

So, yeah it’s coming babe
Probably bad as they talked about
But just remember when the tide rolls in
Can’t be too long ’til it rolls back out

And when they say all is lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, no all is not lost at all

And if they burn, if they burn this place down to the ground, what does it matter?
What does it matter now?

‘Cause when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost
No, all is not lost, not lost, at all

Apple unveiled the new Final Cut Pro at the FCPUG Supermeet on 12 April as rumored, it still primarily use to edit video, but this time, the user interface finally being updated to match the more modern “iMovie” looks. The new version includes such features as color management, background rendering, improved keyword and metadata support, and a magnetic timeline that lets you move clips around without trim collisions with other clips.

This time around it added the word “X” into it, which match the Mac OS “X” word, from the initial screenshot, it look exciting !

Summer….where the leaf are green, where couple kiss in the middle of the sea, where everyone have fun under the sun. But what if you meet a girl call summer and have a relationship with her for 500 days ?

A guy name Tom

He designed beautiful words for greeting cards.

A girl name summer who don’t believe in true love.

Something happens between them.

See the movie, it’s cool.

You can meet me halfway for break at starbuck when you are tired shopping at Mid Valley, if you are boring, you can meet me halfway using MSN, but if you have no time, we can meet halfway during the month of december, which is during chrismas time, or we can sometimes meet at halfway during our dream about life at a planet called φαντασία.

But anyway, black eyes peas comes out with a new music video with their latest “radio” song “meet me halfway”, the song sound very weird at first, but after they pair with the music video, it sound AWESOME. Why ler ?? because..

1. Although fergie is not that beautiful, but come on, girl with sexy clothes with mysterious forest background!!! it’s working, the you can see, but you cannot see effect.

2. Wicked gadget like honeycomb spectacles and big triangle chest bling, merge with legendary dessert, you come out with cray guy in the middle of no where.

3. The elephant with alien backpack are cute.

4. The sunray prove clothes are cool.

5. I love to explore hole.

6. The silver and square triangle are damn cool.

But what i like is the visual and the concept is damn cool.

Wow, what a long gap between the last post and today’s post, why ler? maybe it’s because of the economy crisis, or maybe it’s because the weather was so hot, or it’s cause by a series of unfortunate events, or maybe.. 30% of it cause by the gig in the sky, or sometimes, maybe it’s because the death and all his friends, well, forget about it, because I have a good news for everyone, I am addicted to emo, ahaha, that’s right, I even produce a emo motion to fix my emo. So, happy emo to everyone !!!

Iphone, it’s the Jesus phone that everyone at Malaysia have been waiting for it to arrive at Malaysia, but, come on, Singapore, Philippines, and no Malaysia? But wait, if you asked me, isn’t many people already own an iphone at Malaysia, it’s true, but it’s hardly an easy way, first, you either have to buy the first generation iphone which have been hacked until skinless, secondly, you can buy the new Iphone 3G, but only unlocked version, which is damn expensive, it’s around Rm1905 for 8 GB at New Zealand Vodafone shope , or at iworld at RM3099, you cannot buy a hacked version because iphone 3G hasn’t been successfully hacked yet. So, for the poor guy like me, the only way is to wait for the official subsidized version for around RM1000 (hopefully).

So, what the hell I mention that the newly launch Apple Malaysia Online Store give some hope for the arriving of iphone 3G to Malaysia, well, this is just personal instincts, Firstly, maybe Apple Malaysia Set-up a Store first as a warm up for the iphone announcement, at the same time, testing the market for Apple products at Malaysia.

Secondly, it’s rare that Apple will suddenly set-up an Online Store at Malaysia where it’s a land that Apple don’t care much about, maybe they realize that Malaysia is a gold mines and began to appreciated it ?

Thirdly, usually they will set up Online Store first before the launch of the Iphone, like Singapore Apple Online Store, which is make much more sense since they need to promote Iphone through their own online store first.

Lastly, Malaysia have more people than Singapore, I guess this one doesn’t count cause Singapore People’s income is higher than Malaysian, Oppss….Sorry.

So, with all these hopes, iphone is no doubt is coming to Malaysia, yeahhh, sorry, I am an Apple fans, so PC fans don’t throw banana at me.

Well, before 4.20 pm today, honestly, I had never encounter such a fast and furious feeling before, what? Fast and furious? Are you racing car in the middle of the street!! No…no, what I am talking about is Internet speed, because normally when I am downloading stuff at my own house, the highest speed I will get is 52 kb/s, but today, I get a whooping 200 kb/s speed when I am downloading stuff using my school internet connection.

Of course this will slow down other student internet connection, but I don care, yes, I am a little bit selfish, why?, because I think I deserve the RM500 resources fee that I had blindly pay to the Uni (also apply to other people). Hahaha, so, happy downloading to you all.

Proper Heading for Websites

Heading is an important element in HTML coding were it can define the structure of your content, help with search engine categorizing, and for accessibility. But don’t overuse he heading tag, because it’s better to use the heading tag for structure and use CSS to define the rest of the paragraph.

Well, I am hard at re-learning drawing these day, the one that I come by is the shade gesture drawing, well, it’s not about the drawing, it’s about the effect it created, it’s very interesting, I think I can make a short animated movie based on it because character that are drawn with this style is both uniques and fun to look at. Well, maybe someday I will make use of it.

Recently I stumble upon many useful action that can do something unique to your photo. One of them is the “Cube” Above, which will turn my flat photo into a cubical cube.

“Photoshop Action”, what you think about it? is it sound like a difficult term if you are a photoshop newbie or it’s a wonderful tool if you are a photoshop seasonal, to me, actions is like a robot that can help you do things quickly with just one click and you don’t need to have any photoshop skill to start using it either, it’s just damn the most wonderful things in the world.

I am a big fans of Apple software, especially Aperture, first of all, photography is my hobby, as if a lot of us

Because I capture a lot of images, i tend to leave it after finish, so, I need a software to temporarily store all my photo, so, Aperture come in handy. Aperture 2 adds more than 100 new features, a streamlined user interface and a new image processing engine. New imaging tools have been added, like vibrancy, recover highlight, and do soft-edged retouching and vignetting, but the most important is that Apple provide a SDK for the image adjustment engine to open up whole new world to developer to create new adjustment tools for user.

The most important and most cared by most user is the speed improvement over the last version, and Aperture 2 definitely nail it, so how they do it, they completely change the underlying database system, so, aperture 1 library will not compatible with Aperture 2 library.

One of the feature that I am dying to try s the Tethered shooting feature, which allow you to shoot live photograph by connecting your camera to your computer through USB cable, but unfortunately, I didn’t have my DSLR for now, So I had to wait another few week before I can try my hand on that..

WHooss, that more than 100 new enhancement to the new Aperture, wish I have time to explore it further.
