What in the World...

I came up with design for the CSSU agenda cover a couple of days ago. Can you see what the picture is? Some responses included teeth and last year's formal, but it's a picture of the inside of a computer. It actually doesn't bother me that people can't easily distinguish what it is; I quite like the effect and the slight ambiguity. I modified it again last night with a few suggestions from Jon (thanks mr. graphic designer) so that some squares are tilted and the type is more balanced. I definitely think this is more dynamic and interesting than the original, where the squares where falling neatly.

Ooh, I bought a Norco bike yesterday. It's sorta like a mountain bike, but not designed for hardcore mountain biking. Basically I'm going to use it to ride around my neighbourhood and some bike trails (don't know of any yet). I tried a hybrid bike but the wheels were too thin; I felt kind of wobbly and was scared I was going to lose my balance! That's the main reason I went for the bike I have now: thick wheels = michelle staying on the bike :)

In geek news, I've just started using the Mozilla Firefox browser today. I found out about it when I had to do some testing at work; it's pretty similar to IE, but without all the security flaws! The thing that I hate about IE is the organization of bookmarks and how they're managed (which is the reason why I kept using Netscape for the longest time). I mean, the names of the bookmarked sites aren't allowed to have characters like : | / ?... etc. so they'd be replaced with underscores. I know I'm probably the only person disturbed by this, but it's so ugly and the name of my bookmark does not match the name of the website title anymore! Plus now I get to use separators for my bookmarks again, yipppeee. And you can have themes for the browser too with cute littel icons and such. Luvly!

Try out Opera if you have time too. The mouse gesture is really neat.
