After Britney, this? I don’t know what to think. But if you’re tired of Google or maybe are just dying for tickets to K-Fed’s birthday party, (I hear its the hardest party to get into) YEY!!! Then you might want to try out his new search engine that hopes to do one better than Google. [...]
Its been a long tough, caffeine-free week for me so I think I’m going to call it a night. At 1:24am it is relatively early, but was up till 5am last night working on some an article for Pinoy Tech Blog where I was a guest blogger this week. I don’t think I’m allowed to [...]
Something’s brewing over at Twitter. Look at what I found on Twitter’s GTalk status message earlier today.
As if I don’t have enough places to output my various web finds…I just started my Tumble Log over at Tumblr. I haven’t posted much YET but for sure it’s going to be a place where I’ll be posting random snippets from my web travels. Photos, videos, links, quotes, various other web finds. From Tumblr’s [...]
Take a trip down memory lane with the Internet Archive’s “Wayback Machine“. They’ve been archiving the web since 1996 and have about 85 billion pages in their vault. I’ve found a couple of my first websites circa 1999, including one of the very first versions of this site which I used to call, “Cyberspirals”. Still [...]
The following link (for Manila, Philippines on MapQuest) has 255 characters: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/ map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory =&address=&city=Manila&state=Manila&zipcode =&country=PH&location=djbNCXSL61MTwMcClqh 562tilORCuO7F%2bV2K8lqlAhQ0G159f0D uGoKcBadBEUYrXGQrku4YZAcjA0Vi6ec7vnGk17 qPAkmlrQB85V4x80U%3d&ambiguity=1 The URL is so long that it would be impossible to forward to a friend via text message, long enough that it could get truncated if used in an e-mail. But what if you really needed to [...]
I love treasure hunts, especially when it entails coming up with your own clues to find someone or something seemingly elusive. Last year I set off on a quest of my own, to find 5 people whom I had lost contact for almost a decade. Using the Internet and a couple of phone numbers as [...]
Since last summer my friends and I have been redefining the use of status messages on Gmail chat. Instead of the regular, “busy”, “available” or “away” messages – we would use the input box to post personal updates. Through our status messages we would let each other know if we were having a bad day, [...]
Found this “why didn’t I think of that” kind of post on O’Reilly’s MacDevCenter about how GMail offers a much safer https:// (instead of http) option for accessing your favorite web mail service. Though users are now finally safe from a bug/exploit which surfaced earlier this week. You can never do enough to protect yourself. [...]
