Let the good times roll!

Welcome to the revamped Billionty-Oneth Geek website!

First of all, update your bookmarks and re-subscribe to the feed if you have to. I bought a domain name for my blog, and it's easy access (sort of) through www.billiontyonethgeek.com (I'm sorry that it's such a long address, but hey, here's a hug *hug*).

Second of all, you might have noticed the new layout. It's a complete Lam original! I designed it from the top down. It actually took a lot quicker than I had initially thought it would. Because the coding didn't show up properly on Dreamweaver through the GUI, I actually had to code the whole damn thing. Because my knowledge of HTML and CSS were so basic, it took a lot of trial and error. What's frustrating was that there would be times where I'd make a change in the code, yet nothing ended up changing when I uploaded the code. The weird part was that I'd block off the changes, then undo it, and somehow magically the changes appeared. I didn't understand a bit of it, but I was happy that it worked.

The layout itself is not super elaborate or anything because: a.) I wanted to keep it basic and b.) I probably wouldn't even know how to code it. I wanted to keep it brighter and not so dark unlike my last layout. It seemed kinda sad-ish with all the dark greys. I'm a happy guy and so my blog should evoke happiness. I have to thank my friend Keith (he's a graphic designer) for tips on how to make it look a better.

I'm still tweaking up the little things, so bear with me this next week or so as I get things fixed.

Anyhow, thanks for staying with me the past year and a bit. I enjoy writing this crap and am always joyed to read all your comments. The fun train is never going to stop! Stay tuned. Later geeks!

congrats on the new layout! I agree, your old site was a little dark for the happy guy you seem to be.

I like! Especially the banner at the top! But, where's your face? :)

Thanks Beka :) My sister says the same thing about the banner, "where's your face?". That was the effect I was going for after all the adjustments. I suppose if there were a symbolic meaning, then I'd say that it represents my typing doing all the talking instead of my mouth. Haha. Cheesy.

REVIEW HAIKUS!!!! (#3)

It's time for another edition of Review Haikus; a feature I like to write when I'm too lazy to write out full reviews~!!! The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Tony Scott schlockfest~! All his movies seem the same. A needless remake. Denzel's a bad-ass. Given up on Travolta. 1 of 2 ain't bad. Public Enemies Well? Disappointed. I expected more from Mann. The pacing felt off. Acting was good though. Man-crush on Depp and Bale. 5 more syllables! Saw VI Yes, another Saw. Harder to tell them apart. Blood, guts, bad story. Why more Saw movies? Each movie makes less and less. End this series now. ====== Later geeks!

Mark Waid's IRREDEEMABLE (Issues #1-7)

(Note: be warned that this review is on the spoiler heavy side, so read at your own discretion if you don't want the story spoiled.) Since I was a teenager, I always had this dream that I would become a quirky movie director and I'd make a bunch of crappy little horror movies to start with, but that my first big movie would be this anti-superhero movie. I dreamed up of an Apocalypse Now -like movie using existing Marvel superheroes where Captain America would go mad, slaughtering the innocent and go into hiding somewhere 'up the river'. There would be a detective like character (possibly superhero) that would be after him, interviewing his former teammates to find out what made the all-American hero go mad. Imagine my surprise when I started reading Irredeemable . Although not exactly the story in my dreams, it's pretty close. I started reading the series this past weekend upon the glowing review that those geeks over at iFanboy put up a few weeks ago. As far a

1st Week of Advent Series

Today was the first in the Reconstruction of Christmas series at FreeChurch Toronto . David McGhee, a former pastor at FreeChurch (Freedomize), kicked things off with a message on Gathering. The artsy peeps did a tremendous job of decorating the place for the occasion. Below are a few pics.
