Blender 3D: Interview with Allan Brito
Blender is the open source, cross platform suite of tools for 3D creation, capable of modeling, rendering, and animating 3D environments.

In the past few years, the Blender user base has grown significantly. One of the positive aspects of Blender is its size -- it is only 10 MB and we can even run it directly from a portable drive.

If you've ever setup a blog or rolled your own website, how long did it take before you could invite your friends over? You had to put up all sorts of content to indulge them, and also fiddle around decorating the portal so that it doesn't look dull.
Customizing the Menus Menu in Joomla!
There are numerous menus in the front end of every application. They are often displayed as standalone boxes. The menu items are generally arranged one below the other. Menus can also be integrated into the design horizontally so that at first sight they aren't even recognizable as cohesive menus. CSS menus, which can even be transparent, are very cool.
