It's now AJAX based, so switching between comics is really quick since basically the only things that have to load -after the initial load- are the comic and the write up. It's a welcome change because the old site ran kinda too slow ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2012/01/13/a-brand-new-boy-vs-girlcom/ I'm currently in between jobs with some time on my hands, so for a quick and dirty project, I created this jQuery clock. It's using jQuery to animate the digits and, because I said, "Hey, why not" it's using CSS3 animations to animate the background which creeps up every second ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2011/12/28/a-jquery-css3-clock/ I've been living here for a little more than two months now, and I've enjoyed just about every single moment. One thing that makes this possible is the way in which my living accommodations have been set up for me. I do not live in a single apartment (which I'm sure ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2010/04/07/south-korea-where-i-live/ I'm really proud of the school I'm teaching at in Busan, South Korea, so I made a video walk-through of it. I explain a lot about the school in the video, so there's not much to really write here. It's a little lengthy, coming in at almost 20 minutes, but ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2010/03/26/south-korea-where-i-teach/ Now, I'm a pretty proud nerd. I'm not embarrassed in the slightest about it. I just never realized how many nerdy things I actually do. There's a lot. A lot more than 50. That's for sure. I decided to list them. There are some things in the below list that you may ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2009/11/01/50-totally-nerd-things-about-me/ I have a beer gut. It's not huge, but it's there. And it's definitely noticeable. I knew something had to be done about it, because not only do I not look as good as I used to, I don't feel as good as I used to either. I have wanted to ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2009/09/07/how-im-using-technology-to-make-me-look-and-feel-better/ I found the above fortune in a Mandarin fortune cookie earlier today just hours after receiving my double degree in paper form. I think this is a good sign. More important than fortune cookies and Chinese buffets is the fact that I have graduated! It took me four years, but I ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2009/06/10/adam-a-university-of-toronto-graduate/ Last night, Davy Bell, Heather Whitney, and I launched a new website. It's a webcomic about relationships. It's pretty funny, I think. I'm pretty sure you'll find it funny too. So, if you haven't already scooted over to boy-vs-girl.com, you're probably just waiting for me to describe the site a ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2009/06/09/boy-vs-girl/ *Photo credit: Heather Whitney I'm free. See that sailboat? See how free it looks just floating ever so freely? It's untethered, unconfined, unchained, unrestrained, unrestricted, free and clear. That's me. I'm the boat. Before metamorphosing into this boat, I was tethered, confined, chained, and restricted by school. Now the thing is: ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2009/06/07/and-im-back/ I've wanted to make a Flash game for a very long time now, but I just haven't had the time to build one. Just recently however, I was given a chance to make one for a school project. And that's how Hellacious began its life. It's currently still in development, so ... http://blog.adamsawicki.com/2009/04/29/hellacious-a-game-by-adam-sawicki/
