Awesome Voodoo keychains

Note: The above image was taken from the above mentioned site.

So it’s past midnight and I’m still trying to finish some work when I get distracted with this site. I happened upon it by chance when I googled “cute zombie” It’s a gallery/store(?) of keychain characters. These are so adorable and cheeky! I dare you to look at the site and NOT want one!

I don’t know what the site actually says because I don’t read cantonese(?). If you know which language this actually is, please forgive my ignorance. Otherwise, it was easy to figure out some of the links because they’re somewhat intuitive and clicking on the picture will bring you to the next one while the thumbnails at the bottom allow you to see previous and following photos.

Ah well, I gotta get back to work. Cheers.

So get this… I’m just about to end this entry when I randomly click on the links to see if there’s more madness. Lo and behold, there are giant twine people! Check it here. I’m going to assume they’re called Voodoo because of the constant use of it in the photo naming. You can also check out their other galleries here. Who know’s what other madness lurks in there!

I feel like I have utterly pimped this site out, my only excuse is that it’s quite original and worth the hoopla. There have been many times I’ve happened upon a link or wanted to discuss an article I’ve just read but once I get to typing… all thoughts seem to vanish. But this, I like. I think you’ll like it too.

Goodnight! Part deux.

I’m currently thinking about migrating to WordPress

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

I’ve been happy with Blogger when I first started this site and it’s performed as expected. I’ve read many reviews and have seen many other Blogger sites, when I first made the choice of going with Blogger. They mostly agreed that this application is great for beginners because it provides everything you need to get started with a blog right away, but I’m not a beginner anymore and I don’t want that beginner stigma to stay with me.

The reason why I’m considering WordPress is because its far more customizable than Blogger. Granted you can create your own theme for Blogger, but it doesn’t do much else. I’d like to be able to add trackback links and skinnable comments so that when users do write comments, they are not taken to a different window for it. It doesn’t create that seamless environment, and as a designer, it would be neglectful of me to stick with default settings. In the creative realm, defaults scream novice.

So expect to see a change in the near future, as I will be migrating to WordPress soon enough.
