A New Direction

Filed under: ThinkPoint Blog, Personal — Eric Huang @ 3:42 pm

Hi!

It’s been awhile and I’ve been mulling over what to do with this blog, and now I think I have the answer.  I’m going to turn it into something really personal, where I will post things that I will want to write about.  So, keeping that in mind my range of topics can go from my school to the newest hottest thing in technology.

Also, I intend to use this blog at the same time to promote Small Blogs Network so keep an eye on that!

Thanks,

Eric Huang

To Whoever is Spamming This Blog

Filed under: ThinkPoint Blog, Web — Eric Huang @ 3:25 pm

Dear Spammer,

Would you mind as if to stop completly your spamming of my comments?  As you know I have to personally hand approve each comment, and so I’m wondering why you even bother to submit them as I delete them as soon as I get them…  I’ve even attempted to ban your IP addresses, however I have seen you switch IPs suggesting that your using dummy computers to spam with.  Such bad behavior!

Your Spamming is almost driving me insane and it takes me much effort to write anything on this blog anymore becuase of you.  So I will ask again nicely, please cease and desist your needless spamming or else I’ll take down the comments form.  Thank you,

Have a nice day!

Small Blogs Network Is Now LIVE!

Filed under: ThinkPoint Blog, Web — Eric Huang @ 5:29 pm

WOHO! Finally, I can get that out of my system! It took my several weeks and days to get that site up and running at the fuctionaility it is at, at the moment. There’s still some minor bugs and kinks in the system I think, however it should be quite complete and ready to go. It’s compatable with I think every major browser including IE6, Firefox, and Opera. I haven’t tested Safari, but it should be okay. Otherwise, I’m quite happy I finished this project at last. I hope it’ll help me get more noticed out here in the CyberWeb. SmallBlogsNetwork (Click HERE)

I suggest you all go and check it out yourselves, if you have any comments or complaints either list them here or email me through the submission from on the website. Thanks, a bunch!

ThinkPoint Portfolio featured on CSS Mania!

Filed under: ThinkPoint Blog, Personal, Web, Design — Eric Huang @ 9:32 am

Cool, I did submit my blog to several galleries before hand, but that was before I got it XHTML valid. It won’t however ever be CSS valid becuase of the hacks and whatnot I have to use to get the site working in IE. However, it is still pretty damn cool that I was featured in CSS Mania! My site recieved a score of 7 which seems on the good to average area. Hurrah!

Repost: Movie Review of Little Miss Sunshine

Filed under: ThinkPoint Blog — Eric Huang @ 11:24 am

Yesterday I was going to try and organize a movie with some friends, but hey fate choose to disable all the phones in my house and my sister stole my cell phone. Heh, I was stuck in the house for like 5 hours. Anyhow after waiting and doing pretty much nothing, my mom and I decided to go watch a Comedy/Drama.

Little Miss Sunshine was given a B+ by Yahoo movies, and I have to say in overall terms it was a decent movie. However, I’m usually not the type of person who likes “cute” movies so I’ll give it a B. Let’s start with a short intro. It’s about a family with big troubles, a wild grandpa who likes reading porn, a “winner” dad, a tired mom, a “I-almost-tried-commited-suicide” brother (Frank), a “I-hate-the-world” son, and a innocent daughter. In short, the family is having troubles, and you get the feeling that everything isn’t alright. Soon, you hear about how the daughter (Olive) is being entered for a beauty pagent in California and everything goes to hell from there.

The “win it all or go home” dad pushes the broken family to drive to California, as they don’t have the money to fly, in a old yellow VW van. Along the way, the clutch breaks and they have to push the van to get it moving. Then, grandpa dies from his heiron and the son discovers that he is colorblind ruining his hopes of becoming a airplane pilot. They end up putting grandpa in the trunk as they discover the hospital won’t let them go without putting the corpse in a funeral home. After breaking several laws they end up in the parking lot of the Little Miss Sunshine pagent and the climax of the movie begins.

The son rediscovers his passion along with Frank, who also happens to be gay which let in part to why he tried to commit suicide, to become a airplane pilot no matter what. “Fuck everything else,” he says. The one quote I enjoyed the most was, “If you slept till you were 18, you would have missed all the suffering. That is what makes you who you are,” said by Frank. Meantime, in the pagent the dance routine of Olive turns out to be almost a “strip-tease” and horrifies the crowd and they eventually get thrown out but only after the whole family re-unites onstage and dances. This signifies that the old wounds had healed and everyone accomplished their goals and learned something. The movie ends with the yellow VW van driving down the highway back to Alburquerque.

Again, it was really quite funny at times and the whole movie theather was laughing, but to me it was just another funny drama. That was my two cents, feel free to add your thoughts by commenting on this review!
