So yesterday I turned 15. My life hasn’t been all that bad so far. I’ve learned many things along the way. So today, I would like to share with you what I’ve learned in my short life so far. And since I am a high school student, my goal is to fit in. In other words, be cool. So alternately I could’ve titled this, “How to be cool”. Just kidding. But I hope you can take away something from this. So here we go.

“April Fool’s day is a long and sacred tradition in Norway. It’s true. They’ve been celebrating it for a long time. Although some argues that this is only a myth, it is not. In 2001, Mazer Reckham, uncovered writings in Norway that recorded a giant prank done to the king of Norway for his birthday. As a result, it became a tradition for them to create a prank every year on the king’s birthday, April 1st. [Citation Needed]“

Well go on and share your new found knowledge. Have a case of the Dunning-Kruger syndrome. Happy Pranking

After a long hiatus, Avalonstar finally returns. Fellow designers rejoice! Or at least I did. The new design is simply great and is filled with eye candy. Talk about sensory overload. So much attention to detail! I hope one day I can be as good as Bryan. Well enough about my ranting, check it out

It’s been 7 years, 5 months and 23 days. Never have I felt so drained after preparing a website for this domain before, but this really brings light to the phrase, “you get what you put in.” I’ve had long hiatuses before. However, none have seemed as long or drawn out as this one, and with this post and this new design I am proud to put an end to it. So, let’s start at the top shall we? I’m sure you’d like to know a little more about the 25th version of Avalonstar I call Distortion.

Project Distortion’s formation was fueled sheer anger I had towards the last version of the namesake, which ironically, has found its way off the internet. You’ll hear it straight from the Filipino’s mouth—that version was a copout…

While in the search for the best IM client out there, I was tipped off on this new one, Imo. So new it is still in its alpha stage. But don’t let the blatant alpha tag fool you, this thing got potential. By the way you multi-service user will be happy to know this thing includes, yahoo, msn, and google talk. It also allows yahoo partners service (I.E SBCGlobal) unlike some client. Did I mention this web-app has video chatting??

The Interface

Starting off, they have a pretty clean interface. I would say it look very much like a Google product. Its baby bluish theme, rounded corners just reminds me of Google. It even has the Google styled “loading…” in the top corner when it’s loading, albeit this one is red. Which puzzles me because it’s the only red thing. And in my opinion doesn’t fit the color scheme. I’m not saying its bad by any means. Not my favorite, but it can be work on.

New

Hey all (xx,xxx unique IP addresses as of right now)! I’m the new kid/man on the block. Working as an unpaid writer on Jon’s site, I feel like a sweatshop worker, but now I know never to trust gits with cameras and sexy hair. Then again, I volunteered so it ain’t really his fault. Being new here, I don’t really know what to do, but I do have some basic guidelines given to me by my slave driver. Rule 1: No pr0n. Rule 2: No pr0n. Rule 3: No pr0n. Sorry, I can’t really remember much else besides those.

Other notes, I’m pretty sure I’m not your “mate”, Jonny-boi. and I am not just your “average computer geek with a side of airsoft”. That’s about as b0r1ng as a plate of dead rats served up with a side of bird feces. [on second thought, that's quite interesting...] Point is, there’s many other things to do in my life ’sides those two main hobbies. 53m1 ftw. now go enjoy life. We’ll be back with extreme underwater basketweaving (and some writing), right after these commercials!!!!!!!!
