I finally found some time to put back the transparent PNG background tutorial. It’s by far the most requested tutorial from Dodo’s New World. People email me from this original post.

bubo and misty in the snow
We got our first snow of the year Wednesday. Yesterday we let the dogs out on our deck which had about 2-3 inches of snow. Misty was a bit shy at first but with our encouragement she finally stepped onto the deck. Bubo loved eating the snow. In one of the pictures you will see snow all over his face.

Chinglish
I noticed that engrish.com has a Chinglish section now. For those who don’t know these are English translations in non-English speaking countries and Chinglish is specifically for the ones in China. I thought I’d share some with you. I will try my best to provide you with the correct translation for each.
For each plastic bag wasted, please pay two dollars.
Please ask for assistance.
To keep the restroom clean, please put trash in the trash can.
(This one is actually from Japan but it’s a classic.)
Temporary parking for unloading.
Handicapped.
Main entrance. (No sure how that came about.)
(No idea about this one.)
No cycling or skating. No soccer.
Eight Treasures.
(I guess at least it’s short and to the point.)
Self serving terminal.
(Really “Thunder” will be a good enough translation for this firework.)
Warm milk. (In Chinese the word for “Milk” and “Breast” is the same.)
Automatic flush.
Do not feed the fish with your own food.
taskbar shuffle
I used to use a free software called task arrange for windows XP to rearrange my buttons in the taskbar. But the software does not work in Vista. I found another software named taskbar shuffle today that allows you to drag the buttons around in your taskbar.
On top of that, it comes with two new features. If you love how middle button clicks close firefox tabs, you can now do the same to close buttons in the taskbar. You can also now easily rearrange the icons in your system tray if you wish 
Very awesome. I highly recommend it if you are looking for something similar.
