We don’t need happy endings. What’s the point of a happy ending when we don’t believe in happiness?

Gmail Theme
I was checking my gmail this morning and surprised to see this:
The yellow notification says, “New! Colors and theme. Don’t forget to check out Theme tab in setting to personalize…” Clicking the Theme tab link brought me to this new setting where a dozen of themes–mostly pretty and lickable!–can be applied to my Gmail. Click these screenshots to see its full size
And here’s the new look of my Gmail:
This new feature is being rolled out in the next few days. You’ll get your soon! 
Check out the official blog post at Gmail Blog to see more samples of pretty themes!
Gmail is definitely my favorite web mail, sky-rocketted way above Y!Mail and (of course) Hotmail.
Web Designers are Misunderstood as…
Most web designers are misunderstood (or stereotyped) as programmer, network administrator, helpdesk, or even PC technician. At least that’s how I and this designer feel.

Firefox 3: Dislike #1
Have you heard about Firefox 3 from the news or your friend’s blog? I bet you have.
Following the hype about Firefox 3 Download Day, I tried Firefox 3 on its release date and was pretty much disappointed by series of crashes. I dumped Firefox 3 shortly after the repeated crashes and chose to stick to my browser of choice: Safari.
To sum up my experience, there are three things I like about Firefox 3, and three things I dislike.
Let’s start with my first dislike, which is also the first thing I saw: browser chrome.
Compare that with my Safari:
Seeing such big difference urged me to trim unnecessary stuff from Firefox 3 default toolbars. The rule is simple:
- Analyze every single item in browser chrome. It must have a good reason to be there.
- No good reason? Remove it.
There are stuff I don’t need but cannot be removed via Customize menu. This is where extensions like Stylish and Hide Menubar play a big part to trim it even more.
Anyway, the weird-looking back button reminds me of recent Microsoft’s products. I’m wondering why Mozilla is following into that direction…
Back button remedy: set toolbar customization to “Small icons”.
I was pretty pleased with the final looks of my simplified Firefox 3:
That’s my first dislike, and it’s partially solved. Firefox looks so much better, clean, and neat now! Sweet!
Two more dislikes and three likes in the next blog posts!
Colour and Mood
I personally feel how colours around me affects my mood and behaviour. Being in a train carriage with blue hue feels relaxing and cooler; being in orange hue makes me feel the opposite. Dining place with yellow, orange, or other warm colour raise my appetite while darker colour and blue lighting keeps the word hungry a little off of my mind. Read this article to find out more how various colours affect our mood.
