Love Is All There Is

Love is all there is –
Love in life is happiness;
Life in love is bliss.

RyanTani.com v2.0 Mock-up

After several hours of fighting and forgiving, Tin and I have finally come up with a mock-up we both like.
It still needs a lot of work (Tin’s quick brown fox story is cute, but hardly professional), but with this I’m sure the design and code will be done by the time my domain is transferred.
What [...]

Redesigning RyanTani.com

While waiting, I tried to design my site’s new look in analogue. Here’s what I got on the second try, and I’m pretty happy with it (please let me know if you’re not). So I asked Tin to design the digital version, and she agreed, despite all the work she still has to do. I [...]

Moving from Blogger to Wordpress

Last night, I decided to leave Blogger and move to Wordpress. I’ll be doing some freelance work, so I wanted to have a more professional website. But after some research I discovered that Blogger just won’t do. So I registered with Bluehost (hosting recommended by Wordpress) and began the domain transfer from Yahoo.
It’ll be [...]

3 Superhero Shows I Watch Instead of Heroes

I love superheroes. As a kid, I collected trading cards, comic books, and action figures. And even now, when a new superhero movie or TV show comes out, I would watch it or downlo–buy it on DVD in a heartbeat.
But I hate Heroes. I’m not the best person to judge the show, having seen only [...]

Lars and the Real Girl Movie Review

Last night, I reviewed The Orphanage, wherein a boy plays with imaginary friends. Tonight, I’m reviewing a movie wherein the hero falls in love with an imaginary woman.
In Lars and the Real Girl, Lars (Ryan Gosling) has unresolved issues from his past that are keeping him from relating to others normally — especially [...]

The Orphanage Movie Review

El Orfanato (The Orphanage), a film produced by Guillermo del Torro, is the scariest movie I’ve seen since Sixth Sense. It’s about a mother who tries to cope with his sick son. As if having HIV weren’t enough, the boy also plays with imaginary friends.
With its creepy yet magical mood, it reminded me [...]

There Will Be Blood Movie Review

I had high expectations for There Will Be Blood. The first time I saw it on IMDB it scored an 8.9, making it the highest rated movie of the decade. Daniel Day-Lewis, who plays the protagonist of the same first name, won an Oscar for Best Actor.
The movie was also nominated for both Best Picture [...]

Living Without Subtitles

Although I still like Golimar more, I found this Crazy Indian video hilarious, and you probably did, too. If you’re like me, you’re thinking, Wow, that Buffalax sure is creative. But if you’re Indian or are just sensitive to insensitive stuff like this, you were probably offended.
But love it or hate it, we do this [...]
