Back on Track

Ok, so I said I’d update, and I didn’t. I just can’t seem to get myself to sit down and just write. It’s not like it’s hard. Heck, I’m doing it now.
I’ve decided that instead of boring you with my usual “this is what I’ve been doing”, I’m just going to try to start posting semi-regularly again.
Also, […]

New category: Quickies

My last two posts were “quickies”. What’s a quicky? Well, jealous of the simplicity of my friend Adam’s tumblr, I found a plugin for Wordpress called “quickpost” that lets me do quick tumblr-style posts. But I wanted quickies to be small, quick posts that don’t attract too much attention, so I did a little bit […]

What’s going on?

My blog might go down this week. Seems like the files got messed up, duplicated, or something. Won’t act like I want it to.
Hang in there guys! Yes, all 4 of you. I’ll be back and posting soon!

A few internet gems…

I found these gems on the internet recently:

Umberto Eco on The Holy War: Mac vs Dos.
Stanford grad David Ngo on the definition of design.
If architects had to work the way web designers do.
Mark Bixby’s Identity Spectrum which could be adapted to an industrial design tool too.

Yes, I know, I should be doing homework. I’m getting to it!

I love Target

So I went to Target today to buy some dishes for my apartment because my roommate who does have dishes never bothers to clean them and they stink everything up all the time. Well, I ended up buying a whole lot of stuff, from plastic drawers with filing cabinet to a toaster. So all this […]

Updates

I’ve just upgraded to Wordpress 2.3, and changed the theme (obviously). I’ve also been working on a new look for my site, which you can check out at nourmalaeb.com/portfolio. None of the links work, but I’m getting there. When I’m not doing schoolwork.

I want me some Happy Pills

No, not that kind.
I found IconEye on dezeen, and their article on Happy Pills made me smile.
“Happy Pills is a sweet shop on a narrow plot in central Barcelona, designed by Spanish practice M. The shop, a tongue-in-cheek homage to traditional pharmacies, was designed to appeal specifically to adults in a busy shopping and tourist area with […]

Of course you can’t see anything on this shirt. It’s printed in invisible ink.

Yep. Nothing’s printed on the shirt
today.
The shirt selling at shirt.woot! today is hilarious! It really cracked me up!
Shirt.woot! is, I suppose, a spin-off of the site woot.com
that sells an item in a limited amount every 24-hours, usually at a pretty good price. I love the product blurbs they write, and the shirt blurbs are just […]

Images look good now!

With some CSS magic that I learned from Max Design’s CSS Floatutorial page, I was able to greatly improve the presentation of my images. Scroll through some old posts and tell me if you like the new look.
Thanks Max Design!
