While skimming through a small book called ‘Blogsphere: best of blogs’, I noticed an interesting comment on one of the blogs the book recommends, it goes ‘Sex blogger Belle De Jour tells stories […]

Hybrid & Flex-fuel

January 21st, 2007 · No Comments

While I was reading the very last parts of ‘The World is Flat’, I found one section particularly illuminating. In it the author talked about why hybrid and flexible-fuel vehicles can be very effective in reducing America’s dependence for foreign oil.

visiting apple store

January 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Yesterday, I went to The Apple Store during my lunch hour at work. (It is Apple’s first hands-on interactive store to showcase its products in Europe, located on London’s Regent Street, very close to the Oxford Circus tube station.) Because the store is only a few steps away from the place I work, I have […]

January 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Of course, online tools and web-delivered services are nothing new, Hotmail, YahooMail and online games are all examples of it. But these are nothing campared to the complicated software delivered through the […]

Google Earth

Google Earth is a wonderful programme, I discovered it on my housemate’s laptop two days ago. I found it an interesting thing to play with, I have already spent so many hours on it and checked out many places, I just cannot believe I only discovered it now, I’m so behind the trend!

My blog on Nokia N70

January 13th, 2007 · No Comments

This is how this blog was displayed on .mobi mobile emulator on a Nokia N70, it looks awful. If mobile internet is going to become a future trend, how webpages can be displayed on a handhold device to enable easy navigation is one of the key challenges. At the moment, if you want to make […]

Cutline - Simple and Clean

January 12th, 2007 · No Comments

Thanks to the cutline theme designed by Chris Pearson, this site has finally started to look a bit professional. Cutline has a very clean look and simple structure, just the kind of theme I’ve been looking for. But there was only one problem.
