I feel sorry for the people of Detroit. They are the ranked number one as the most dangerous city in America (as of 2009). Their economy is a mess with the “big three” having financial issues.

On top of that the Detroit Pistons are the first team to be eliminated from the 2009 NBA Playoffs. Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers took care of them today winning four games to zero in the first round series.

I think Kobe and Lebron will meet in the finals and that will be an amazing seven-game series.

I’ve been using TwitterFon daily now but I’m a but annoyed that I can’t read the tweets from AlJazeera Arabic. You can see the snapshot below.

I just really hope all the IE6 users accept this update!

I just launched another one of my sites, halaltunes.com, which happens to be my first site built from scratch using a Flash MP3 player. The Flash MP3 player uses php to search a directory for all mp3 files. It uses the mp3′s file artist name and track title as the info for it’s playlist. This is different then most of the XML Flash MP3 players making the user have to enter all that info. This makes it easy, because all I have to do is upload the directory of MP3s.

I also used jQuery JS to handle the menu. It basically does an AJAX call depending on what the user selects and tells the flash player to go to the directory the user selected. It was pretty simple to write up.

This is just the beginning. I hope to add more features in the future. Your suggestions and comments are welcome.

Funny stuff!

SHout out to Farooq for showing me this, but it appears that the designers/developers decided to mimic my current blog theme on Michelle Obama’s blog.

Well they probably didn’t really copy, they probably just found the same theme as myself and edited it of course.
