Totally Unobtrusive (and totally awesome) Upside Down Text
"There is a huge need for upside down text on the web. With everyone "going mobile," developers cannot simply rely on users having their screens oriented the same way all the time. I went through all of the possible options for creating upside down text and finally came up with a totally unobtrusive, Unicode enabled, completely web-changing piece of code"http://johndyer.name/post/2008/04/Stupid-JavaScript-Tricks-Totally-Unobtrusive-Upside-Down-Text.aspx

Build custom templates for your data-driven Web sites
"Most developers dread dealing with HTML tables and cells to build their Web sites. For one thing, tables make it difficult to modify the site later or to change its appearance. Discover some basic techniques for writing Web sites that you can later re-skin by using templates during the site's initial creation. Also, learn why you should use data-driven techniques for your own Web sites."http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-customtemp/?S_TACT=105AGX08&S_CMP=EDU

If you want to use other colors, you must specify their RGB or HEX value."http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp

Teachings of the Horse - The Sacred Horse
“Aum, the dawn, verily, is the head of the sacred horse, the sun the eye, the wind the breath, the open mouth the Vaisvanara (lightning) fire; the year is the body of the sacred horse, the sky is the back, the atmosphere is the belly, the earth the hoof, the quarters the sides, the intermediate quarters the ribs, the season the limbs, the months and the half-months the joints, days and nights the feet, stars the bones, the clouds the blood vessels, the liver and the lungs are the mountains, the herbs and the trees are the air. The rising sun is the forepart, the setting sun the hind part, when he yawns it lightnings, when he shakes himself it thunders, when he urinates then it rains; his voice, indeed, is all voices.”http://victoriacummings.blogspot.com/2008/05/sacred-horse.html
