Lately, I have been obsessed with these little morsels of heaven on Earth. Their pastel colored shells entice you and once you take a bite, you pretty much swear off any cookie. Noting compares to its crunchy shell, moist interior, and subtle fillings. I’ve been getting my macaron fix from Financier Pastisserie, mostly because it was so convenient to my job. Unfortunately, their maks recently have let a lot to be desired. So I took it upon myself to make them at home. I mean, how hard could they really be to make?

I happened to be looking for a better way to show a preview of my web albums when I came across Prototype-UI which is a suite of user-interface components. Their carousel component was just want I need to spruce up my site design. The only problem was that documentation on the site is quite sparse and it took me a while to get things sorted out.

New year, new me. I can’t help but be excited about change. But in order for change to happen I have to push myself out of this self imposed slump of monotony. It’s scary having to make a decision about ones future because of the fear of failure – something that I have let rule too many of my decisions in the past.

The SPAM bots have finally found my site. I figured it was only a matter of time before the fact that I allowed for anonymous comments would be exploited. So I decided to implement the CAPTCHA system them I used for my registration page. Hopefully, this small little adjustment will be enough to divert the bots attention to other sites.
