The Divine Project

To all my readers using WordPress: have you heard of Divine? It is a newly released tool/plugin that lets you create websites from Photoshop to WordPress in just 5 minutes…

…for free.

The Divine website explains that you can convert any Photoshop design to a WordPress theme in just four simple steps:

Open your design in Photoshop and launch Divine
Assign all WordPress elements in turns
Specify FTP parameters and upload your theme to the web
Check the site in a browser

As expected, the Divine website features tutorials, videos, and forums.

I currently host this blog on Squarespace and I love it. However, as a web developer/designer I am familiar with, and presently work with other CMS such as WordPress and Joomla. And as someone who has a toe in the vast pool of internet marketing, I can’t deny that WordPress is the most popular blog platform out there.

I will definitely download Divine and tinker around with it…perhaps even use it for my next WordPress project. In the meantime, I would love to hear from current users of this nifty tool!

PhotoFunia

I stumbled upon 7 Awesome Site to Have Fun with Photographs the other day and I’ve been having way too much fun with PhotoFunia.com! Let the evidence speak for itself…

They even do animated GIFs!

Have fun making your own!

MoMA’s Unfinished Clocks

I’m loving these Unfinished Clocks from the MoMA Store:

Designed to be placed on shelves or mantles, it’s a simple and ingenius way to incorporate the functionality of a clock with its surroundings. Not to mention, the red round version would look great against my boxy black bedroom furniture…

I think I like this version better…

I ♥ xkcd!

The JK Divorce Entrance Dance

You’ve seen their wedding entrance dance. Countless friends have urged you to watch it again and again via Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other forms of social media. You’ve seen them on The Today Show. They’ve brought Chris Brown back from exile. Heck, the video’s even spurred Google to take notice and use it to tout YouTube’s click-to-buy ads.

Unfortunately, Jill and Kevin’s union which started in epic proportions was doomed to end in divorce…

This is obviously not real. But you know you’ve gone beyond viral when well-rehearsed, well-produced mock versions go viral too!

Halt! Hammerzeit.

I re-discovered this demotivational poster the other day and I still can’t stop giggling over it:

(Excuse me for the lack of quality content today – I am feeling under the weather. But as they say, laughter cures all.)

Look at That Accuracy…

Summer has always been a dull season in sports for me.

(I may be a New Yorker but I am no baseball fan – it is too slow for my tastes. I’m still waiting for my beloved Knicks to start representin’ but this may take a while…and deserves a separate post entirely. End rant.)

Last summer the Beijing Olympics kept my athletic spectatorship quota satisfied; however, the lull between basketball and football seasons keeps me agitated and trolling blogs/message boards for training camp stories, trade rumors, team gossip, and good ol’ fashioned trash-talking.

Earlier today, J sent me the following video which thoroughly whet my appetite for the upcoming NFL season:

“Last year was just the beginning…”

Sigh.
