Hi, wave

09-Oct-09

I caught the wave … well not really, but I did sit through a good portion of the super long wave video. How useful will it be? I’m not sure. Maybe this is where Google outsmarts all of us. It’s so ahead of the game that it knows what we would want 5 years from [...]

user-proof security codes

30-May-07

You know how some websites make you enter in a “security code” when you sign up? The code is usually some image file of numbers and letters and deters pattern-recognition software by slightly jumbling up the lines that form the letters/numbers. I guess the purpose is to prevent bots from hitting the site and spam [...]

myspace is invading my life

17-Apr-07

I rarely ever mindlessly watch TV, but figured tonight was as good of a night to start as any.  I’m mostly emailing and reading blogs on my computer, but a movie trailer commercial caught my eye.  I was even more shocked when at the end of it, instead of a website, it listed a myspace [...]

the million dollar homepage

02-Mar-07

Have you heard about this webpage?  I only just did last night hanging out with some geeky electrical engineers.  We were at a popular bar, yet we were talking about the resistors and web scripts and the Million Dollar Homepage.  The basic premise is that a 21-year-old kid got a webpage, divided it up into [...]

gmail – new features

23-Feb-07

Every once in a while, there’s a link highlighted in red in the upper right corner of the gmail window that reads “New Features!”.  I saw it this morning and clicked to see just what was new about gmail.  I was taken to a page telling me that we can now get mail from other [...]

finding it hard to focus

19-Jan-07

I’ve been very distracted for the past couple of days, finding it very difficult to focus.  I just sit in front my computer in my office and pray for random interesting things that I can find to occupy my time on the internet.  This included reading multiple blogs, finding new and interesting blogs to read, [...]

myspace

09-Nov-06

Sometime before I left for China, I got some weird messages from people on MySpace looking for relationships.  Thinking that the “single” status I still proclaimed on Myspace may be inviting some of this, I completely changed my general bio to really ridiculous stuff.  I think my relationship status was divorced; I said I was [...]

what happened to email?

25-Sep-06

I’ve noticed more and more that people communicate with the message feature in facebook/friendster/myspace instead of email. Whatever happened to email? I personally think it’s more accessible. I don’t want to have to log in to some third-party service to see a message from someone. Am I already getting old and behind the times? I [...]

anonymity

31-Aug-06

When I first started a blog, I wanted everybody to read it. I put a link in my profile on AIM, hoping my friends would click on it and discover my blog. I would randomly drop the fact that I have a blog in conversation hoping that those I was talking to would go check [...]
