Life, the Universe, and Corn Flakes

Welcome to Life, the Universe, and Corn Flakes!

Greetings! Were you deviously redirected here with the promise of pornography, pirated software, or MP3's? If so, click here. For the rest of you, welcome to my website! I'm trying to pull all the stops for this one. This is actually the third incarnation of "Life, the Universe, and Corn Flakes." The original site can be found here. The first site was done a long time ago, and often while I should have been studying for midterms. You can check out some selected pages that I've saved from it. I've divided the site into 4 major sections.

Flake Facts contains serious pages. These will include personal product reviews, nutritional information, the true history of cereal, and some of my arguments against skipping breakfast.
Flake Fiction is the flipside which contains the more twisted pages that aren't really based on reality. I figured that I should separate the serious from the silly in order to avoid confusion.
The Gallery is sort of where I dumped everything that didn't fit the first two categories. It's an odds and ends place with pictures of cereal and friends, an archive of my old pages, and a listing of this website's presence on the Internet.
About the Author explains what madness would drive a man to make a website about breakfast cereal.

I've designed this site with content in mind. I want visitors to be able to explore around and find new things each time. I hope you have fun. Working on this site gives me a chance to express my rampant creativity.

What's New?

Quasi-Complete Website

Well, this looks like all the updating for the next little while. I hate to admit it but I am suffering from over-exposure to cereal after doing this update. Yes even I can get tired of writing about cereal. Shocked you say? Refer to my Claim of Sanity. I'm moving onto other projects, like a website to present my resume and web portfolio. I'm also working on my Flash game. The game should be done before Christmas. My compSci courses are also starting to bring out their heavy artillery, so I have to give them the attention that they demand.

Yes, I know that I haven't made a site map yet, but you should be able to navigate around fairly easily. If you can't, I recommend a GPS receiver.

XHTML Compliance

If you haven't noticed, this site went through a major overhaul. Though this site is still not XHTML compliant, I will have a look at it. For those that do not know what XHTML is, it is a specification by the W3C to bridge the gap between HTML and XML. I'm focusing on design and content issues right now. I'll deal with technical specifications later.

This site looks pretty much ready to go. The Gallery and Author sections are pretty much finished. The Fact and Fiction sections will constantly be updated. The fact section is pretty empty, but it will fill up with time. I have to find a counter and guestbook now.

Credits

I'd like to thank Simon Carr and Viet Tran for their technical advice and wisdom. Thanks to the Mailing List of the Damned for shaping my twisted humour.

I'd like to thank the entire gang at Senan's Youth Hostel for visiting this site. These guys are the poor folks that have to listen to me constantly say: "Visit my webpage! I've changed it!" I'd especially like to thank Senan for getting me started on the whole Flash animation craze.

I don't think these big corporations will ever visit this site, but I'd like to thank Macromedia for a very integrated software package. If you ever have the opportunity to work with Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks... try it! They're best in the business. Macromedia is listed on the Nasdaq.

Sometimes their web browser drives me crazy, but I have to admire Netscape's intestinal fortitude for standing up to Microsoft. I hope Netscape will win the browser wars, despite some very sneaky trickery from their competitors.

Last but not least, I'd like to thank all the cereal companies for making damn good cereal. My favorite is Kelloggs of course. I would love to work for their marketing division one day, but I'm afraid that if they ever see this website, they will think I'm some kind of crazy cereal zealot.

Shameless Attempt to Lure Search Engines.

If you are reading this, this is my absolutely shameless attempt to lure search engines with hotwords. So ignore this, as it doesn't make any sense, other than to use the words food, breakfast cereal, corn flakes, oatmeal, toast, bacon, eggs, Kelloggs, General Mills, milk, cereal boxes, frosted flakes, fruit loops, special k, corn pops, alpha-bits, pancakes, and toast. Corn flakes and special k are good. Oatmeal is bad. Bran flakes are only good with raisins. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Pancakes for breakfast, with cereal and bacon and eggs. Kelloggs and General Mills make breakfast cereals like corn flakes.
