Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 26-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.
I’ve been around the net for quite some time (over 10 years, actually). I’ve sadly watched many of my favorite websites come and go. The Quilting Bee, however, is still around and going strong! (150 members & counting 
) For those of you who aren’t familiar with the club, it’s a friendly community where members create patches, trade patches with other members, and sew together an e-quilt. I’ve quilted since January 2003! (Here’s my Quilt) But that’s not all the fun…
Sites like the following are what originally inspired me to pursue web design!
So sorry I haven’t posted to my blog or visited my dailies! Besides class, I’ve been busy helping Jem and the other programmer bees renovate the Qbee. We hope to reveal the new site by this weekend 
The new ‘bee has a lot of new fun features, plus a new design by Arien! I can’t wait until the site goes live.
While pruning the queue at Oh My Cuteness, I stumbled upon a wonderful site! Ragen, the author, has amassed quite a compilation of cuteness. Here are some of my favorite finds:
Do you have a scratch pad? I always keep a notebook at my side so that I can jot notes, sketch ideas, write reminders, etc. I usually keep a pen (preferably Uni-Ball Vision) in its spine for easy access. Right now, I’m brainstorming ideas for the Perfection forum on paper. The members don’t seem to like the Vanilla one I’ve currently installed, so I’m back to writing my own script 
If you have a personal website or weblog, you should check Perfection out…
Well, sort of. None of the content pages are up yet. You’ll probably notice bugs in the layout, such as irregularities between browsers… I’ll work those out asap. I felt like I needed to get something up because I miss blogging so much!
I have a lot of catching up to do, but first, I want to thank those who exchanged Christmas cards with me…

I’m in love 
I hope she puts some octopi up for adoption soon.
I recently held a contest at my webring, Oh My Cuteness, for the members to create new image codes. I’m so excited because I received a ton of beautiful submissions! Today, I chose the Grand Prize and Runner-Up:
Grand Prize: Anh – 
Runner-Up: Janet – 
If you have a cute site (that meets the requirements), then you should definitely join! Don’t worry about dead links in the ring because I check for them every night (with the aid of a script, of course … I’m not THAT much of a computer geek! 
)
I’m so excited!! I ordered the complete, uncut, original Japanese Sailormoon Season 1 and received it last night! I’ve only seen the crappy DiC dub of the first two seasons I popped the first disc in and started watching from the beginning. After getting a quarter of the way through the first episode, I thought to myself, “I’m not understanding what’s going on…”. I soon realized that there were no subtitles! (I was proud of myself, however, because I was following the Japanese pretty good ) I started to panic, but then figured out how to turn on the subtitles.
Question: Should I be concerned if the set I ordered isn’t official? I ordered from a reputable seller on Amazon, but the box looks different from the box pictured. I planned on purchasing Sailormoon R this afternoon from the same seller, but I wanted to ask first.
For those of you awaiting the results of the Caption Challenge: I’m going to consult guest judges so that there won’t be any bias. I should have the results by the end of the next week
