The One Love project is a photographic study of the global football community through the eyes of British photographer Levon Biss. On his Website he provides an alternative view on the world of sport, capturing the raw passion and emotion it creates in big stadiums, in the backyard, on streets or in the middle of a desert.

After over 2 years, the One Love project covers 26 countries over 6 continents, each continents presented by 40 photographs. A collection of the world’s only truly global sport. With a colorful insight and different facets of this beautiful game as we never seen but also learned to love.

Lookup HTML Entity Characters - Useful Tool To Have Valide Code!

Alex — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:09:59 PDT

Using HTML entities is the right way to ensure all the characters on your page are validated. However, often finding the right entity code requires scanning through 250 rows of characters.

This lookup allows you to quickly find the entity based on how it looks, e.g. like the letter c for ©.

The HTML entity lookup is also available as a Dashboard widget. The widget works in the same way the web version does, and does not require an Internet connection to function. Clicking on the particular row will copy the html entity code to the clipboard. I know, there are also other resources, like cheat sheets, code editors which have them implemented. But I think it’s a good alternative to find an entity pretty quickly.

Hope you find it useful!

Jenson Button - What He Would Exchange To Win The Championship? His Answer 3 Years Ago!

Alex — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:03:55 PDT

3 years ago, Jenson Button was at Top Gear and Jeremy asked him a very interesting question: What he would exchange to win his first race or the championship. Who would have known 3 years ago, he probably will win the championship and won several races already. Check out his answer at 16:40, which shows the character of this guy. A sportsman with real values, it’s not about the money.

The interview starts at 13:15 and it’s pretty funny, Jeremy makes fun of Jenson, that he already drove 107 races and never one even one race and his car is so slow. Funny though, just 6 races later, in his 113th, he won his first race!

Jenson is a very nice guy, I really like him and he deserves the championship. Great guy! Even though my favorite driver is Sebastian Vettel, he is a very nice and talented guy and of course from Germany. Hope he will have his chance in the future.

Jeremy has also some other fun and interesting questions, enjoy the interview!

Popular Blogs And Their First Post - Interresting Find!

Alex — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:23:23 PDT

I checked out the very first posts of some popular blogs and put a collection of interesting and fun first posts together. Many blogs started as a hobby and they never would have imagine how successful their blog would become. Other started with the goal to change the world or at least the world of their readership.

I’m sure you have also a great first post, then leave a link in the comment area. And if you miss your favorite blog, don’t be mad. Either I didn’t know the blog or I couldn’t find the first post because of none existing archive, or the first post was just not interesting at all. Hope you also interested what the first post of some well known blogs were:

Website: copyblogger
Title: SOLD
Date: 01.09.2006
What’s the 1st post about: On the first post, copyblogger had just one comment and it was written 4 month later. Brian was writing about selling, and he had a great point at the end of the post: “Visitors to your blog do not expect to be sold to, and they’ll leave mighty fast if they get a contrary impression. But you’re still selling. You’re just selling correctly.” Looks like he is still selling perfectly, since he has such a huge readership!

Website: DailyBlogTips
Title: Welcome to Daily Blog Tips
Date: 11.03.2006
What’s the 1st post about:Daniel knew right from the start “Quality content is obviously the corner stone for any blog, but sometimes the content alone will not suffice. Even great content might get lost on the Internet if not supported by promotion, search engine optimization and other activities. With that problem in mind I decided to create Daily Blog Tips, a place where you will find simple yet effective tips to improve your blog.” And many readers are glad for his tips to improve their blog with success!

Website: GIGAOM
Title: Jilted by broadband
Date: 05.19.2001
What’s the 1st post about: Comparing to some other blogs, GIGAOM exists quite a long time already. The world of broadband in 2001. GIGAOM is talking about the recession of broadband development and how slow it grows. It’s also metioned that TechNet having a goal to have 100 million homes connected at 50 times the fastest current rate by 2010. Can anybody tell me if they made it? It is interesting to read what the perspective of broadband was, back in 2001.
