Hello!! My name is Andrew Yee. I am a freelance web designer. Squaremonitor.com is my personal web site/blog. To check out my portfolio, go to Citrus Cube Design.
It seems to happen every couple months but a kid from somewhere in the world is called the next Zidane/Ronaldo/Maradona……
The latest is a 6 year old boy called Madin Mohamme who is being called “the next Zidane”. Hes originally from Algeria (like Zidane’s parents who are of Algerian descent) and his family moved to France when he was 3.

Sometimes this country really annoys me! Almost £2million of taxpayers money has been spent to build 6 “posh” bungalows which will house the gypsies who previously lived on the land – for the Olympics. Why on earth spend so much money building (what look like) pretty nice bungalows. They could have housed them surely somewhere else – maybe kick out those squatters from those posh houses in London – at least the gypsies would be paying some money!!!
The gipsies will be charged £104.66 a week rent plus £91.23 a week to park a caravan on the drive. Just over £400 seems rather cheap for a 3 bed spacious bungalow!
Its just ridiculous that this country would spend taxpayers money to unnecessarily!
The Simpsons, which has been on TV since 1989, is now showing in HD. Also, on Sunday a new opening main title sequence was shown – the first significant change since it started back in 1989.
The opening sequence of the Simpsons is always a bit different with the most obvious being what Bart writes on the blackboard and how the family sit on the sofa.

I went to the Twestival charity event in Manchester tonight AKA MancTwester. The event was held in The Living Room. All proceeds went to the charity Charity:Water. The charity auction includes items such as a Wii, ipod touch, champagne meal and “money cant buy items” such as a “journalist for the day” with the Manchester Evening News.
Shockingly, in the year 2009, 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us. At the last count Manchester Twestival raised £3,500!!
If you dont Twestival is organized 100% by volunteers in cities around the world and 100% of the money raised from these events will go directly to support charity: water projects. Some of the cities holding Twestival events include Hong Kong, Sydney, Dublin and New York. It all started back in September 2008 when a group of Twitterers based in London decided to organise an event where the local Twitter community could socialise offline, meet the people behind the avatars, have a few drinks and raise money for a homeless charity. Most of the event was organised in under 2 weeks via Twitter and the combined talent and financial support of the local “Twittersphere”. The Manchester Twestival event was organised by Katie Moffat (@katierocket)
I took a few photos which are on Flickr. You can read more about it on the MEN blog and also a video with Katie.
A couple days ago it was the Grammys in the US. Not normally bothered about it but this year Blink 182 were back together presenting an award. Blink 182 are one of my favourite ever bands and they split back at the start of 2005. They are back together and will be recording a new album and touring again.
It seems like the catalyst for this re-union was the plane crash Travis Barker was in a few months ago. It seems they realised life is too short…. On the official Blink 182 web site it says:
“Hi. We’re blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We’re back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy. Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready…”

They split up at the start of 2005. I actually saw them in concert on 3rd December 2004. There last ever concert was on the 16th December in Ireland.
Heres a video of them presenting the award at the Grammys:
