Frontend UI/View Map

· Comment

Years ago, I was learn­ing about Tiles & Struts as we were tran­si­tion­ing to it from a very old sys­tem (Vignette). We got to tweak stuff, as well as cre­ate from the ground up. With this project, I recall using Blue­print CSS for the first time in a pro­duc­tion stage. But that’s for another story, for another time.

Just thought I’d share this for future ref­er­ence, as well as cur­rent of course.

This was pub­lished a while back by Num­ber 17, a cre­ative stu­dio led by Bon­nie Siegler and Emily Ober­man. Pretty much some basic rules to have a smooth project with con­tracted Designers.

In cel­e­bra­tion of the Dodgers win­ning 2 con­sec­u­tive games against the NL’s #1 team, the 97–64 Cubs… at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, here’s a lit­tle some­thing to show some Dodger Blue pride in you. I’m not bag­ging on or taunt­ing any Cubby Fans out there, but you have to admit, the Cub­bies are well favored going into this series. That, and they had home-field advantage.

Any­ways, I’ve had this wall­pa­per a while back on my reg­u­lar desk­top from Man­dolux (Mando Gomez—great pho­tog­ra­pher by the way)1. I have cropped it a cou­ple of weeks back when I got my iPhone. I thought I’d share it with my fel­low Dodgers everywhere:

Let’s go Dodgers! Go Blue!

  1. In case you want it for your desk­top as well, Man­dolux’ orig­i­nal Dodgers/2K7 wall­pa­per. [↩]

Do Work Son! — Motivational iPhone Wallpapers

One day, I just woke up feel­ing tired. I recall that it was in the mid­dle of the week—Wednesday, aka. Hump Day. I had to force myself just to go out of the house for work. I was so close to call in sick; call it a day, and just rest it out in bed. But alas, a luke­warm shower helped me enough to get myself to go to the City and work.

As the day pro­gressed and reached the early evening, I remem­bered that there was so much stuff I need to get done after work. One of them was to pro­ceed w/ Hal Higdon’s train­ing and SET class @ 24. Feel­ing so damn lazy and tired, I mus­tered enough deter­mi­na­tion to get myself to go over that 50/50 mark. I was stuck at the mid­way point for a while and was lean­ing to just not go; and instead, chill at home.
