I get this question a lot; do you web design or blog design? and I say, is there a difference?

Most new site that I work on are built using free CMS like WordPress and Textpattern so they tend to have a bloggy feel to it, so I see where this question might arise from. But to me, a work done specifically to be published online, irrespective of the site being a blog, is considered “web design”, if it’s on the web and it involves designing, its web design.

With that said, there are many interpretation of what constitutes as web design. Not all web designs are created equal. …

Head over to MandarinMusing.com to watch a movie by Technorati Buzz TV that features our partner site!

It takes a few seconds to load completely, but is worth the wait I think! Thanks in advance for your patience!

Honestly, I did not watch it, but from the blog reviews, it seem the two part mini-series was all BS and Right Wing Propaganda. Really, do we need more movies about 9/11, don’t we already have like eight of them! The blame game has begin, and we are still a good month and half away form the mid-term elections.  Let’s face it, people don’t vote based on movies depicting 9/11, if they did, Fahrenheit 911 must have won John Kerry his presidency. I think people vote based on how stupid they are, so screw how Disney and ABC spins facts, truth is not necessarily everything you see in a made-for-TV movie.

Associated Press reporter David Bauder interviewed the former NBC anchor, who said that after watching Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, Brokaw was impressed and wanted to pitch in his two cents. He said on talking about a new show on Discovery channel that premieres Sunday at 9 p.m., “It’s the same science that we are drawing upon and it’s irrefutable,” he said. “I thought there was too much of Gore, but that’s not my call. I thought it was very effectively done. To give credit to him, he’s been on this issue for a long period of time.”

Apparently, Brokaw’s wife, Meredith, is vice president of the environmental organization Conservation International. They’ve traveled to some of the places featured in the Discovery documentary, like Patagonia and Mongolia, and have seen firsthand the effects of global warming.

Patagonia? Mongolia? Do we need to go that far to figure out the effects of global warming, can’t he just tell by looking at his utility bills in summer!!!

Well anyway, another liberal media mogul joining the “global warming awarenessâ€? crusade only makes for good…news. Who’ll be next, Stephen Colbert?

I can understand people fussing about the �Da Vinci Code�, that’s what religious zealots do. But “An Inconvenient Truth�?

In an unprecedented move, the nation’s top climate scientists gave 5 stars for Al Gore’s documentary on global warming, making it an historic first for scientific topping Ebert and Roeper who gave the movie a B-.
William Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University said, “excellent, he got all the important material and got it right.” Robert Corell, chairman of the worldwide Arctic Climate Impact Assessment group of scientists read the book and saw a presentation said, “I sat there and I’m amazed at how thorough and accurate,” he continued, “After the presentation I said, `Al, I’m absolutely blown away. There’s a lot of details you could get wrong.’ … I could find no error.”

One exception amid the back patting was Brian Soden, a University of Miami professor of meteorology and oceanography, who said, “I thought the use of imagery from Hurricane Katrina was inappropriate and unnecessary in this regard, as there are plenty of disturbing impacts associated with global warming for which there is much greater scientific consensus.”

Contrary to the academic praises, Dave White a columnist for movies.com said “OK, here’s my beef with Al Gore, and then I’ll talk about the film’s message: He’s a hypocrite. During the Clinton administration, the causes of global warming were chugging right along with help from the government. Global warming didn’t stop when the first Bush left the White House and start up again when the second Bush stole the place back for the Republicans. Gore himself gave the Tellico Dam project a waiver from the Endangered Species Act. George W. Bush might be a nightmare for the EPA, but the Democrats weren’t their wet dream by a long shot.â€?

Somehow, by the end of it all, I personally believe the debate should not be “whether the film was right or left wrong,� but rather “how to combat global warming,� after all the effects are felt by one and all, irrespective of how dramatized or underplayed it is in movies.
