Sweet. Wasn’t too hard. I just hope that the plugins for it (from version 3.2) are still working. Please do let me know if you find any problems on the site.
PS. WordPress 2.5 is looking good though… we’ll see.

Kounandi
While reading my emails, I got the TED newsletter and read about Rokia Traore performing “Kounandi”. Then from the comments below the video/performance’s post, got linked to a movie also called “Kounandi” (via Emily McManus).
Also learned that “Kounandi” is a name that means “one who brings luck”. The more you know…
PicLens — Crazy Image/Video Visualization Plugin
Be sure to check this visualization plugin (for most “modern” browsers). It gives a nice way to navigate through photos (i.e. flickr, google image results, etc.) and videos (i.e. youtube). Not too shabby indeed.
Thanks goes out to Mik for the link.
Nike Golf Ad — Earl Woods on Tiger
Truly an amazing athlete of our time.
This ad just came out at the right time and place. What a remarkable game for both Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate. I personally had a hard time pulling for one of them to win it all as both were great peeps. Damn, what a story… like a real time, underdog movie. But each were an “underdog” to themselves, as that was their biggest nemesis. Oh man… what a crazy, lifetime event.
PS. Check out this article written by ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski, Golf comes up aces: Tiger, Rocco save world of sports. You don’t have to be a Golf fan, or Sports fan… just human.
