Lace Braid and Ladder Braid

For about 3 and a half hours, I was braiding and braiding. Trying out a few times to get the hang of it and also the final hairstyle required. The final hairstyle that we settled on was the Lace Braid with Ladder Braid. I like what I did. Luckily so did my sister.

This was the 2nd try. Braid till the middle of the head. Intended to do the same on the other side and tie then them at the back of the head. But it looks pretty plain from the front.


So we decided to use back the idea from the first trial. Braid from the right side to the left.


The braid is not really defined though. My first attempt braiding such complicated styles, with the help of the tutorial video on youtube.com. Here's the video I had referenced.

Braided Hairstyles

I have been doing a few researches lately for hairstyles for long hair. Just got an assignment for this Saturday. Hopefully it will be successful. Hahaha..

Here are some of the nice hairstyles. Great for wedding, dinner, even for everyday look (provided you are up for having tired arms). I really like the waterfall braid. But it seems so difficult.

Dynamic Favicon

What's a favicon? It's the little icon representing a website. A favicon appears in your browser tab left to the page's title, the address bar left of the URL and bookmarks or favourites.

Would you like a visual representation for the notification of new emails, unread messages, etc? Saw an article quite some time back with this option to create a dynamic favicon. Not yet tried out though. Saved and shared (with you guys).

Here are 3 existing jQuery plugins that you can use to create a dynamic favicon.

Favico.js [http://lab.ejci.net/favico.js/]
favico.js lets you animate your dynamic favicon, create favicon from an image and html5 video. However, there are issues with Safari browser and Internet Explorer.


Tinycon [http://blog.tommoor.com/tinycon/]
Tinycon allows the addition of alert bubbles and changing of the favicon image. It will gracefully fall back to a number in title for browsers that don't support canvas or dynamic favicons.


Notify Better [http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/notify_better_demo.html]
A jQuery plugin for notification using favicon, browser title and more



A photo a day : Red shrimp



Today we added custom soil for the shrimps. $9 for a pack. And a fake $1.50 tree. And three new fishes at $3 each. And 2 $1 shrimps. So many addons. Hmm...
