- Hypertext -

I plan on beginning this whole posting-more-often thing by going through my backlog of work and pulling out stuff which I still think is worth sharing. Don’t worry, you don’t have to agree with me on that. I’m going to be sharing it anyway.

Hopefully, I can put all that old work to rest and make some room for new stuff. That’s basically what I hope this site will become for me: a reason to push myself to create and a way to make doing so more central in my life. If others enjoy it, so much the better.

So, having said that, where do I start?

I start here, in the Lotris province of ancient Japan…

A little something I put together as one of my first ever experiments in hyper-text, back in my college days. They told me at the time that hypertext was poised to make a breakthrough as the next big literary genre.

I’m still waiting…

So, Flash…I think that Flash is often abused when designing a website.  It has its place, but it should never be used to replace HTML.  I believe Flash is best when used to embed games, widgets, or other things within the overall HTML architecture. Like Youtube.Having said that, I took one semester of a Flash design class in college. I enjoyed it, although it more focused on game design than on page design (thank you art school). This is the final product of that class, based on this toy/game I had as a kid.

A good time killer, if you have a steady mouse hand…

- “0″ -

Invented separately in both India and South America, the numeral 0 is one of the most important ideas in the development of any mathematical, organizational system. It acts as a placeholder for higher integers, allows for the existence of negative numbers, and is the cardinality of any empty set.  It is synonymous with “go” in any countdown.

In the Cartesian coordinate system, 0 is the starting position on both axes.  It’s the “you are here” of the universe, but it’s only an emptiness…

It is the only indivisible number, and the only one that guarantees a negative result when something is taken away and a positive result when something is added.  And I plan on doing a lot of adding here.

- This is the way to use your brain. -

Your energy is somewhere between base and crown.

Move up to crown, down to base to make sure all are lit

Align crown to base and all in between, so they are harmonious/in synch

Once all communication between them is in tune, allow the top to control the bottom, thoughts excite your emotions excite your body.  But do not force thoughts, control them.  Do not control body, let it move itself.
