My Favourite Things

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

It was a cloudy and rainy day in Vancouver today, but I did go to the Cruise Ship Terminal at Canada Place with my daughter to see a very interesting exhibition organized by CANstruction Vancouver. This year’s theme, “My favourite things”, has challenged several teams of graphic designers and students to build fascinating sculptures using […]

Internet Memories

Friday, March 9th, 2007

While reading an article from Wired magazine “We Are the Web”, recommended by Brian from Epic Edits, that talks about Internet in 1995, 2005 and predicts the future of Internet for 2015, the memories from past came to my mind, and I felt an urge to write about them.
I was very fortunate to get involved […]

Digg - Up close and personal

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Usually I don’t have time nor do I like to read very long articles on the internet. If I find something really worth reading and it’s long, then I print it out and read the hard copy. But this analysis of Digg written by 3Monkeys got my attention and I read the entire article […]

Flattering Spam

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

I’ve read about this type of spam on a couple of blogs, but only now I’ve started receiving them as well. So if you’re getting these comments, don’t let them spin your head - they may be flattering but they’re only coming from annoying spammers.

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

Today I realized that I forgot to mention another plugin in my Handy Wordpress Plugins list. A while ago I wrote how to create teasers with a More quick tag in my post How to tease your blog readers and gain more page views. But after upgrading to Wordpress 2.1 I’ve noticed that the posts […]
