Today I noticed that my Alexander Ovechkin video has reached 274,000 hits – and that YouTube will no longer track hits in real time. Yay for me!

If you haven’t seen it yet, here is my Ovechkin montage, with clips and highlights from Ovechkin’s rookie season (2005-06). The background song is Bliss, by the British band Muse.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Despite the controversies and weirdness-factor associated with Michael Jackson, there’s no denying that he was the most entertaining musician of our time. His voice was full of passion and his dance moves were jaw-dropping. The album Thriller sold over 100 million copies – no other album in history has sold even half that amount. His style and versatility revolutionized many musical genres and he was the only true “global” star – everyone in the world loved Jackson’s music. This was his legacy – and no criticism can take that away.

Where are the screw drivers?

“Why are you using these Phillips style screws? You should be using the square head ones. Sure, they are not as strong as yours and we’ll probably need twice as much, but they’re much safer than your kind. We have to keep our structure and workers safe! What if your pointy Phillips screw driver falls on someone’s hand? That pointy edge could be dangerous. The square heads are more secure. I think Tony usually uses square heads also. Anyway, they’re way better. ”

So I finally have a blog… again.

Once upon a time, I was confused. Why was my Date() function displaying in dd/mm/yyyy format instead of mm/dd/yyyy? I Googled it and found the answer. But not on Microsoft’s MSDN website. Not on an ASP tutorial website. Not an any forum. It was on some random blog.

That was about 6 years ago. Since then, I have found the solution to many web design problems on web designer’s personal blogs. Thus, this blog is about sharing knowledge and experiences and giving back to the web design community. Hopefully, there’s a confused programmer out there who can find an answer on this website.

What is this all about?

ASP tips, SQL performance, SEO, usability, Web 2.0, tech news, and general stuff about web design. And probably whatever else is on my mind that I like to talk about, like hockey, music, etc…
