My current interests
This website
This website is made by myself, as base for this site I was inspired by the basics from a number of other websites. The site of TheNextWeb has been a great source. For the column lay-out I have used the 12-column grid layout from 960.gs.
"The 960 Grid System is an effort to streamline web development workflow by providing commonly used dimensions, based on a width of 960 pixels." [960.gs]
For the twitter-plugin I make use of the script by Remy Sharp as suggested by Think2Loud. The script of Remy is great, unfortunately it does not show re-tweets.
