JESS3 designed and animated this for the JESS3 lecture at AIGA Baltimore in Feb 2010.

Endlich habe ich mal versucht, HTML zu benutzen, um meinen Artikel zu schaffen!

Seit knapp einem Monat bin ich zurück in Shanghai. Ich beschäftigt mich mit der Frage, wohin ich gehen soll, um mit meinem Masterstudium zu beginnen. In einer langen Zeit habe ich zwischen Hong Kong und Hamburg haltlos hin und her gependelt. Und jetzt habe ich doch entschieden, dass ich EVAN immer begleiten möchte!

Ich werde hier auch meinen ersten deutschen Besucher herzlich willkommen heißen, wer auch uns auf dieser Seite etwas geschrieben hat.

Ich hoffe, jetzt ist ein neuer Beginn für mich.

2.14 ist das chinesische Frühlingsfest dieses Jahres. Zufällig ist es auch der Valentinstag dieses Jahres. Ich bin froh, dass ich in diesem Jahr ein Geschenk für Valentinstag erhalten kann. Lieb´ dich, EVAN! Sobald ich es bekomme, mache ich ein Foto davon!

Nach dem Fest werde ich meine Bachelorarbeit schreiben beginnen. Der Titel von meiner Arbeit ist “Der Differenz von Kleidungsstil zwischen Deutschen und Chinesen durch den beiden Kulturen.” Hoffentlich kann ich es in einem Monat fertig machen. Wirklich eine schwierige Arbeit, besonders für die Studenten wie ich. HAHA~

Gestern habe ich zwei meine besten Freundinnen getroffen. Ich werde ihnen auch danken. Entweder in Peking oder in Shanghai sind sie immer bei mir. Obwohl wir in diesem Jahr wahrscheinlich nicht in einer gleichen Stadt sind, werde ich sie vermissen wie immer.

Am Ende lade ich ein Foto von uns hoch. Das Leben hier in Shanghai ist immer phantastisch! Es ist meine Lieblingsheimatstadt!

Yes folks — the rumors are true. Apple is holding an event on January 27th to show off something the company is calling their “latest creation.” Hair standing on end? Good. The proceedings will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and will get underway at 10AM Pacific. We’ll be there live — as usual — covering every little second of the action… so get ready!

There’s always a little piece of text on the invitations that, while not necessarily giving a hint, certainly make you think. On the invitation for this event, it reads:

Come see our latest creation.

Apple doesn’t create new computers, they update on previous models. That’s the same for iPods and iPhones, but what they could create is, oh, I don’t know, maybe a revolutionary touch-screen tablet device? Just throwing that one out there. Tut at this point, with so much heat behind the rumors, I can’t think of much else that Apple could be “creating” right now.

Either way, make sure you’re back here at 10am PST on January 27th, as we’ll guide you through the event from start to finish, and the moment Apple show’s off it’s creation, we’ll let you know.

What a happy little film! The daughter wants a guitar, the mom says no. Then she remembers when she was a teenage girl and wanted a shiny red Oldsmobile Cutlass. She thinks of how her Dad reacted, how well he handled it for her.

Kurt Russell plays her dad, and when he first comes on the camera he has a throw away line I could bronze his sideburns for: “I think I’ve lost my edge.” I laughed out loud. I don’t know why I like Kurt so much; I don’t think he could play Hamlet if you begged him, but he is a great Everyman, and he smooths through this little gem surrounded by all around fine performances.

If you have a sense of family ties, I think you will enjoy this movie. It was kind of the nudge for me to get my girls a dog, for which they have been “begging” me for a couple of years. Life imitates art, or at least is influenced by it.

After watching James Cameron’s AVATAR, I really wanted to have an avatar of my own. ) Here is the result, after fooling around in photoshop for a couple of hours.

The music is from the original soundtrack: Track 5: Becoming one of the people. Buy it on itunes store.

Remember to go and watch the movie!

All the best

老公的一個電話把我從無比痛苦中解救了出來

花了心血寫的第一篇德語論文

竟然在定稿之後又找出了10個錯誤

剛剛把這些錯誤改正了過來

改了原本的參考文獻

加上了翻譯之前的中文

我希望

我可以不需要再去修改它了

快到期末了

下禮拜還要交4篇思想報告，1篇論文

接下去還有2門課的結課論文等著我

1月份就是考試月

1、2、3、4、5、6、7

數了下

一共7門

我已經有了豁出去的想法！

跟爸爸媽媽視頻少了，電話少了

我最近真的感覺到了

自己真的是大四了呀

還好有老公

幫我做好看的論文封面還有目錄

要是我一個人的話

估計就慘不忍睹了

今天跟同學說起各自想申請的學校

壓力又大了起來

把Baden-Wüttemburg和Bayern的學校名單拉出來

告訴自己耐心的一個個找

我覺得總有我可以上的學校

總有我可以申請的專業吧

感覺一下子很糟糕

我不知道自己還有多少勇氣踏實的一步步走下去

老公是個從來不食言的人

說到的每次都能做到

但是

我希望我自己可以完成自己答應過你的事

儘管我現在已經不能100%的保證

我真的可以如願以償

但是沒到最後一刻

我是不會放棄的！

我會申請到的！ :up:

恩恩我要跟老公一起慶祝我們的第一個聖誕節！

還有1個月

老公我又可以來香港咯～

聖誕快樂！

In this post we’re going to outline 5 WordPress trends for web developers who know their stuff.

There are plenty of WordPress techniques and hacks out there for beginners. Everyone knows about the routine tricks like:

• Mastering Your WordPress Theme Hacks and Techniques
• Most Desired WordPress Hacks: 11 Common Requests and Fixes

These features are all fine and very important, but today we’re going to look at WordPress trends that are a bit more challenging. They’re not the run-of-the-mill techniques you’d teach a WordPress beginner. These 5 trends are slightly more difficult, but if done well they can add an extra special something to your website layout.

1. User Contributed Link Feed

Many sites in the design blogging niche have their own community news sections where users can submit a link to one of their own posts on their sites. This is a feature that i included here at Noupe and on devsnippets as well to spread the word about great content.

1.1 Manually

There are only few tutorials that explain how to create a user link feed module, my favorite one is the one that Collis Ta’eed wrote here, he explains in details how to allow the users to submit links and to create a public link feed out of it using WordPress’ comments.

1.2 TDO Mini Forms (WordPress Plug-in)

This brilliant plug-in was written by Mark Cunningham, allows you to add highly customisable forms to your website that allows non-registered users and/or subscribers (also configurable) to submit posts. The posts are kept in “draft” until an admin can publish them (also configurable).

2. WordPress Post Thumbnail

2.1 Manually

Giving each WordPress post a thumbnail, and displaying the thumbnail on the home page is one of the most used trends among many WordPress websites to help attract traffic to these posts by the use of images. Wordpressgarage has an interesting tutorial on creating thumbnails for each post on your blog and using Custom Fields to add and display them on your front page. Also, check out another Custom Fields thumbnail tutorial.

2.2 Post Thumb Revisited (WordPress Plug-in)

There is a nice WordPress plug-in that scan posts for images. Then, it can do the followings:

• Loop display: show a thumbnail linked to the post.
• Sidebar display: it can shows thumbnails from the most recent posts or thumbnails from random posts.

3. Tabbed Content Section

Tabbed content section is a great design technique that can save a lot of vertical space and make the layout look less cluttered. Many websites use it to set apart a bit of the most important text so that the reader’s eye is drawn to it. Tabs are essentially a piece of eye candy for the reader. Here are a few ways a designer could create tabs on their blogs.

3.1 Manually

You can manually create a tabbed based interface on your WordPress blog to help rotating older content. There are many great javascript Tab-Based Interfaces using different javascript libraries like jQuery, script.aculo.us and others.

3.2 Tabbed Widgets (WordPress Plug-in)

Tabbed Widgets features:

• Use other widgets for the tab content and specify a custom tab title.
• Make tabs rotate in a set interval so that they become more noticeable and prominent.
• Set a random start tab on each page load so that all tabbed content gets equal exposure.
• Make unlimited number of tabbed widgets that can be then used as regular widgets under ‘Design’ ‘Widgets’.

4. Show del.icio.us and Digg count

4.1 Show Plain Digg Count

Many websites use the popular Digg badge on their post to show how many diggs a web page has, and provides a link for the user to digg it. However, you can go one step further and display a digg count for a whole range of articles. For example:

You can skip the usual digg badge and use the stylish digg icon in list of articles to show the digg count and inside paragraph. Leon Chevalier from http://aciddrop.com has an excellent tutorial that goes into some detail about how to retrieve the counts in PHP and via AJAX.

We don’t want to give every link on the page a digg count, so this nice script has a few options that decide which links should be digg-count-ified. Style hasn’t been forgotten, there are a few options to manage the opacity, pad_links and the box_type.

• Live Example:Here
• Download the PHP for the digg proxy here and you can download the JavaScript for the dynamic AJAX digg counts here.

4.2 Show Plain del.icio.us Count

Now when we have learned how to customize our count for Digg, it’s time to learn how to do it for del.icio.us. Dejan Cancarevic from http://stylizedweb.com has a nice and simple tutorial to make del.icio.us count into plain text by using small JavaScript and JSON feeds.

Today i came across a new WordPress plug-in, Delicious Count WordPress Plugin is a great tool to help assess blog post quality. The plug-in displays the number of Delicious saves of each post in a blog in a user friendly ’summarized’ format.

5. Featured Posts

It’s becoming more and more common for blogs to feature certain posts at the top of the page. One of the common trend is to highlight the first post on the home page to give it different style and more exposure. Check out youthedesigner, designreviver’s featured post section to get an idea of how such a simple technique can provide more focus to your latest or featured post.

You can achieve this in 2 ways:

5.1 Manually

Many tutorials explain gow to create a featured post or sticky post on your home page and other pages as well. I will highlight 3 amazing tutorials that will teach us how to do this in a few minutes.

• 5 ways to highlight your first post in your WordPress theme- This post features 5 different methods you can use to highlight your first post on every page or on the 1st page only.
• creating a “dynamic sticky”- Using two loops. One would query and show only posts in one category. The other would query all posts in all categories.
• Build a Featured Posts Section for WordPress- This tutorial covers process of creating the index page of a magazine/news theme for WordPress. The main features of this page will be: Featured Posts, Latest Posts, Using PHP Variables for easy customisation of the above for users of your theme not familiar with PHP/WordPress, Retrieving a post image from the ‘Custom Fields’ section of a post.
  • Live Example:Here
  • Download here

5.2 Featured Posts WordPress Plugins

• Featplug- Featplug is a Wordpress plugin that can mine your blog’s content and generate ‘featured content’ section for your site using the suitable stories. Output can be rendered as slideshows or banners. You can download it here.

Quietly unveiled alongside the 27-inch iMac and the Magic Mouse was this: Apple’s attempt to force the unibody construction that we’ve already seen used on its MacBook Pro into the lowly MacBook line.

This 13-inche didn’t revolutionize Apple’s low-end laptop line, but it did add a pinch of style and an integrated “7-hour” battery while keeping the price tag steady at $999. We certainly had our fair share of gripes when testing this scuff-magnet out, but now that you’ve had nearly two months to toy around with your own, we’re anxious to hear what you’d do different next time. Is the build quality up to your standards? Are you still weeping uncontrollably as you search in vain for a FireWire 400 port? Is the 9400M GPU potent enough for you? Did this honestly deserve to be priced at a few hundred less? Feel free to unleash hot fury in comments below — maybe ole Steve will feel the heat.

老公說我最近變得懶惰起來，我這就來了！不知道是什麼原因，我最近沒幹壞事怎麼嘴巴長了那麼大個泡，好在不用上傳照片了，等我破相完之後再拍吧～

最近愛上了這個醜不拉及香菇頭，我發現跟老公視頻的時候我也開始習慣把下顎突出了，台灣偶像劇本早該退出我的市場了，哪能個幾又會那麼吸引我，我只好說，小豬的魅力真的是太大，剛忙完一陣子，就全當給自己放鬆放鬆～

達浪～達浪～達浪達浪達浪～

說句實話，這樣的狀態蠻合我胃口的～

最近還有一件事情就是我再次擺到在ELVA的石榴裙下，真沒想到她現在可以變得那麼美，看來，後天打造還是很有效果的！

於是我下定決心，在一次又一次的剪掉我的劉海之後，我要慢慢把它劉長，我承認，我臉有點圓，有點肉。。。

好吧老公，你不要嘲笑我

這次我三天之後絕對不會跟你說我又要去剪頭髮了！

恩恩！我決定了！

繼續我的論文去咯～改天還是堅持要過來寫寫日志！畢竟不能讓老公的一番心血慢慢變成死海呀～

Auf  Wiedersehen～
