Recently, Darth Vader was in the studio recording his voice for TomTom GPS. Makes me wish I had a TomTom instead of a Garmin.

Be sure to check out the website. C-3PO, Yoda, and Han Solo are coming soon!

Yesterday was CSS Naked Day. CSS Naked Day was thought up by Dustin Diaz. The purpose of CSS Naked Day is to to promote Web Standards; including proper use of XHTML, semantic markup, and a good hierarchy structure. In other words it disables your CSS for for a 24 hour period in order to promote web standards.

I forgot that yesterday was CSS Naked Day. So when I went to my site, I was pissed that my site was jacked up. My first thought was that my site was hacked. The styling was gone but all of the content was there. Which didn’t make sense why a hacker would do that. That I realized what happened.

That was my first CSS Naked Day that I participated in. It was pretty cool. Click on the image to see a screenshot of my site during CSS Naked Day. Also, a “thank you” goes to Aja Lupas for creating the Wordpress CSS Naked Day plugin that I used.

I have some kind of obsession with Darth Vader. I don’t even like the Star Wars movies, but I really like Darth Vader. At work, they changed my name of my phone to say ‘Darth Vader’. So when I call someone, their phone says like Darth Vader is calling them. How cool is that!

I remember when I was a kid, I thought it would be awesome to be a spy. I could have all kinds of cool gadgets to play with. The other day, Lifehacker had a story about building a secret knock door lock.

Basically the idea is you program in the knock you want. The lock listens to the knocks on the door. When it detects an accepted knock pattern it unlocks the door. If it doesn’t detect the accepted lock, it doesn’t unlock it.

You can read the full story by Steve Hoefer. Below is the video.
