An Inconvenient Truth
Forget about Steve Job’s keynote speech. Never mind Bill Gates’, either. If you see one speech, if you watch one movie or documentary this year, if you care about this planet we live on at all, watch An Inconvenient Truth. Never mind that Al Gore got screwed out of his presidency, whether you like him […]
The Calm before the Storm
So since my girlfriend is going in for surgery next week, we decided it was a good idea to get out of town this weekend so we could relax for a couple of days. Even though Kamloops wasn’t our first choice, it was the best place to get an affordable suite with a hot tub. […]
Hmm – Comfy Weekend
What bonus cheques are good for: This is where I’ll be spending most of my weekend:
Origami UMPC runs Linux!
The Ultra Mobile PC, Microsoft’s new ultra-ultra-portable personal computer, apparently has a few new tricks up its sleeve that Microsoft neglected to tell anyone. In their testing of a prototype UMPC, UMPCOrigami found that Samsung’s engineers, awaiting the “official†operating system from Microsoft, had taken matters into their own hands and installed Linux in Windows’ […]
Spore – From Bacteria to Galactic God
Spore is an upcoming gaming from Will Wright, the creator of Sim City and The Sims. Spore is, at first glance, an evolution game: the player molds and guides a single-celled species across many generations, until it becomes intelligent, at which point the player begins molding and guiding a society into a spacefaring civilization. Spore’s […]
Pageflakes – Another startpage??
I thought I was done with these Ajax start pages. I was sure that Netvibes was what I was going to stick with. Well, then someone posted a comment that changed things. Enter Pageflakes. Same ideas as the other ones, little prettier, more features, and the ability to create your own flakes (widgets). Screenshots below:
Netvibes – Personal Homepage
Ok, ok, I’ve been obsessed with these Ajax powered start pages. But I think this one’s a keeper. If for nothing more than a new RSS feed reader. Netvibes has all the common features, RSS reader, to-do lists, weather widget, email checker, and more. They’ve also planned a number of nice features for the future. […]
Protopage – Online Start Page
Yesterday I blogged about Goowy. While it’s a pretty neat service it’s still a bit too buggy for everyday use. At least for me. So I decided to check out Protopage. This is another Ajax powered customizable personal homepage. It seems a little bit more stable and faster. It’s free, so it’s worth a try. […]
A Cat’s Life
This weekend I spent some time with my parents. My cat Felix was feeling like posing for the camera quite a few times. I’ve posted some pictures below. (For some stupid reason I can’t make the CSS show this in a wider, 2×2 column type of format) www.flickr.com
Why do I blog?
I felt the need to state why I continue to participate in this weird exercise called blogging. Maybe I should define what blogging means first. Wikipedia defines blogging as A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened […]
