Things have been really crazy in the past few months and time has been really short. However, I plan to be writing more often than ever before. I haven’t been writing often on my own site but I’ve been very active on Twitter. That’s how I found Modernizr, through a tweet from our incredible css expert, Andy Clarke. You may ask: “What the hell Is that?” Well, Modernizr is a tool that will help get things done in browsers that don’t support top-notch technology such as CSS3 and HTML5. Yeah! I’m talking about old browsers like Internet Explorer 5.5/6 and Firefox 1.0/2.0. All you have to do is add the Javascript file in your page and add a class of “no-js” to your HTML element. After the file is loaded (executed), you’ll be able to use the Javascript object and all the CSS classes it’ll attach to the HTML element. I’ve been playing around with it today and it seems pretty cool. I’m sure to put some examples here when I got a solid experience with it.

I like playing soccer (football) but I was really good at Tennis. I was raised in a Baptist Church. I played Bass in a band at church. I was 19 years old when I migrated to U.S to pursue my career in design. I went to Bridgewater State College to study graphic and web design. I used to go every week, sometimes three or four times of week, to Lions Tap for burgers. They have the best burger in the planet. I’m a frequent customer at Barnes and Noble bookstore. I like to read a lot of magazines and books. I went through a lot of surgery this year, thoracic spine, left leg and my right foot was amputated in an accident in March of this year due to being destroyed by the car’s engine. I want to write a book about design. I have a beautiful girlfriend who stayed with me for 2 months in the hospital and she’s the reason why I’m happy and alive.

I didn’t get an ipod until the fifth generation and I’ve never watched “The Office”. So even though it’s been around for a few years, I feel like I won the lottery when I came across “Grammar Girl’s quick and Dirty tips for Better Writing” website. And I had to share with all of you. Some of you know I’m a foreign, English is my second language so my writing isn’t great, nearly awful. Grammar Girl is loaded with good resources for people like me who English isn’t their first language or the writing really sucks (in my case). Grammar girl hosts a weekly podcast to address questions of grammar, punctuation, and other hazards of the English language. Anyone following their website or tweets can call in, email or twitter with questions and Grammar Girl will respond fairly quick. Besides all the goodness provided by Grammar Girl, I hope to improve my English as well as my writing skills through this awesome resource given by our respected teacher Aka Migon Fogarty. Visit Quick and Dirty Tips to find links to podcasts by Grammar Girl as well as other subject such as law, nutrition etc. English, Personal 2009-08-11T16:35:07+00:00
