The Wonder of Beards.

For as long as there have been men to populate this world, there have been beards. Resting on the chins of these men, beards warm the face of the beholder and promotes them to a status of respect and dignity. They come in many shapes and sizes but one thing is certain. Beards are awesome!

Throughout history there have been many successful and notable men who wielded beards. For example:

Abraham Lincoln
Qui-Gon Jinn
Jesus Christ
Lions



To reinforce my feelings on this matter, feel free to watch the YouTube video below. It is the perfect amalgamation of my thoughts into the form of a beautiful song.

Although this has been a rather shorter blog post than usual, I feel that I don't need to say many words for my idea to come across. As a wise person (who probably had a beard) once stated, "Don't use many words when less will do." This resounds most with the topic of beards. Beards are amazing!

From a gentleman to you all: Have a nice day, and have a nice beard.

Me and my Beard, enjoying a moment.

Assessment #2 Blog Post - Website

Ok, so for my second assessment in MPI104 I have constructed a beautiful website with the power to impregnate women, cure cancer and regrow the limbs of young children with leprosy who were orphaned at the age of 5 when their parents were viciously murdered by rabid shotgun-wielding chicken-man hybrids. You’re welcome, world.

Down to bizzness! (See how trendy I am.) My website is themed around popular culture with regard to my personal tastes as a bearded gentleman. This consists mainly of video games and movies with individual web pages for a couple of my more preferred topics. From each website I have included plenty of links to external websites of interest that anyone can visit to read more on the subjects. This helps to broaden the mind and really backs up all of my ludicrous statements about how awesome everything is.

From a design standpoint, I went with a simplistic look so people don’t get too distracted by it all and instead are focused on the content. I let the content do the talking (don’t look into that statement too much).

I’m fairly happy with the graphics on my title page, that of all my favourite pop culture “thingy-mi-bobs”, as well as the beautiful and illustrious collage of Liam Neeson. If those don’t get you going, I don’t know what will. Other than that it was fairly straightforward. I had already learned the basics of HTML last year at work and I was able to expand on my knowledge using W3 Schools wonderful expertise. I guess if I had learnt anything else it would be that I shouldn’t leave things so last minute, but I’m sure you all know what that feels like.
