Zooomr seems to be in the middle of transition to switch to the next version of their system and taking a little longer than they were expecting. Anyhow, I am really looking forward to see and experience their product soon.

No, not me, but this BLOG is going to be naked around April 5th. I just signed up for participating CSS Naked Day led by Dustin Diaz.

A blog going naked? What?

Being naked means pages being without CSS. In doing this, it will show how well markups are done for the pages. If the pages are made with a fine craftperson, there is no problem. HTML will be shown as its basic look, not a fancy one. That's all. This event clearly shows why we should use CSS in the first place, to separate decorative markups from HTML. After all, this demonstrates how beautiful web standards can be.

The idea of this day is by taking off CSS from the web pages at the same day in the world, awareness of web standards and the semantic web will get higher. How clever! This is very important to me so I decided to participate.

Yes, it's a overexposed photo taken with an automated digital camera. Why did it happen? Actually, it's very common. Even though the subject is dark, the camera intentionally adjusted the exposure so the frame become gray, which is the right thing to do for most of the times. However, I want CONTROL when it comes to photography.

Anyways, as you see the photo, I just bought a used EOS 10D. This is my first DSLR. I already took some shots. The photos look much nicer than the photos taken with my other cameras. I like this camera! This model is already 4 years old, but I don't think I need another DSLR in near future. This one has everything I need. I might look for some lenses though.

I am going to have lots of fun with this camera for sure. As it's getting warmer, this is the best time to walk around too.

BTW, I've been riding my bike. My wife was wrong.

Almost exact a year ago, I rented a bike for a day to go around the city of Vancouver. I was shocked to realize how bad I was out of shape! My legs immediately becomes so heavy after pushing the pedals a few times. I felt so powerless.

Today, the fine sunny day just like the day a year ago, I bought a bike for myself! I was thinking about start riding a bike for some time, but it suddenly became strong for the past few days. I went to a local bike shop today hoping if there were any used ones. The shop owner quickly showed me a new bike instead, and he said he would take only 10,000 yen ( about $100.00CAD ) for it. It was a mountain bike with front suspension just like what I was looking for. I usually don't make a quick decision but not this time. I just got it so instantly.

I had a 40 minutes ride with the bike today already. I think it went okay. It wasn't too hard for me. I actually live in a mountain so there are lots of ups and downs if I want to try. I think I am going to enjoy this bike alot. My wife is in doubt that I am actually going to ride the bike. It's funny. Where does she get the idea? We will see..
