As I was watching some world tech news, the other day, there was this, short report on a Japanese site, Uniqlo. Well, considering how much I’m attracted to almost anything Japanese related,.. decided to take a look.
‘UNIQLO Co., Ltd. (株式会社ユニクロ Kabushiki-gaisha yunikuro) is a Japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer and retailer and is also Japan’s leading clothing retail chain in terms of sales and profits.’
Square Enix has released the latest trailer for FFXIII, and I simply must say, it looks amazing. Hands down. I’m in awe. Eye candy everywhere. The trailer shows some cutscenes and gives an idea of how battle scenes will be like.
This post is continously updated.
Anime Image Boards are a great source for anime images, and they frequently contain rarities and vip quality work at times. I have continously searched and come across countless anime image boards, too many to remember, so I decided to create a listing of them.
Most web 2.0 sites nowadays have loading icons to load some of their content. Animated loading bars and icons are becoming more and more frequent in web 2.0 design, and you may want to incorporate them in your own website.
Of course, making a loading icon requires more work, and maybe creativity, on your part, so for those who don’t have the time and effort( or patience) to make a loading icon, Ajaxload
offers automatic generation of animated loading bars and icons in .gif format. It offers several different commonly used preloaders images, and allows color customization for your visual preference.

Though it’s not something new, there are still alot of people out there who don’t know about Gravatars. So I’ve decided to write a quick post about it and what it is.
Gravatars are all around avatars, it stands for Globally Recognized Avatars. You may notice, on some blogs and websites, comments by guests or users are often accompanied by personalized avatars. And when you write your own comment, you receive a generic avatar. Now, you may be wondering,.. how do I get a personalized one?
A solemn story of love and loyalty between the Vocaloid characters, Kagamine Len & Rin. This has to be the best MAD I’ve seen depicting Vocaloid Len. Another great reason why I find the Vocaloid series so interesting. Most of it’s appeal comes from fan-made creations and derivations.
