this bed is: too small :: just right :: too big :: huge. who ordered this?


Total Irrelevance - Brianna Lee.
She's Bri Lee, passionate, eloquent, with a smash of kick-ass style. And her sites have been my primary source of inspiration since day one for everything from content to layouts to quirkiness. [+] [+]

El Aleman Venezolano - Tommy Triebwasser.
One of the last websites created on Tommy's whims. [Site mostly inactive].

He's Griffin Foster, technologically refined and dangerously awesome. [Domain lost].

Look out. Sophia's got her own domain to do whatever she pleases, whether it'd be to use her amazing techie skills, or to feature her great writing, or to share some of her photography work.

* Listed here are non-blog, non-community standalone personal websites established by my friends. Omission of your name here only means that you haven't set one up. So make one! Or I haven't discovered it (share!).

University of California, Berkeley
It's big. It's vibrant. It's interesting. And we'll see how it goes here.

Robert Louis Stevenson School
Boarding schools aren't the terrible prisons of isolation and preppy-ness that people imagine from Hollywood depictions. Rather, they're friendly communities where one can fit into the community and explore the many things that the school has to offer. Stevenson, in Pebble Beach, CA, was a great three years for me.

Chinese Christian Schools
One day, I typed in the name of my old San Leandro based Christian private school (K-12) in a search engine and there was a link called "Chinese Christian Schools". So it seems that my school from the childhood years has created a website online.
