I am a web designer/ web strategist working for Thompson Rivers University, Open learning Web marketing department. It's fun to work here. I've created this website as my bookmarklets hub. Bookmarklets are links to examples, codes, tools, funny photos and other stuff that is better to have handy. The site was password protected (for me only) but after it was hacked three times I preferred to open it to everybody. Nothing secret here. Enjoy.

What's UP ...
