I’ve taken out the MyBlogLog widget and also deleted my account there. I don’t have any plans of going back. There’s a whole bunch of reasons why MyBlogLog lost its attraction. The only reason why I haven’t taken it out is because I was just too lazy. Now that I’m going for a little bit [...]

Despite views to the contrary, we live in a search engine dominated world and as long as we do, we will be at the mercy of search engines. Google’s become a staple of our daily web consumption. It helps us hit all the hard to reach corners of the web to connect us with the [...]
I’ve had a bunch of ideas float through my head for my monthly blog post. But nothing really compelled me to put it down on paper. I will say to my credit that I’ve changed the blog design more than I’ve actually posted anything on this blog. Sad isn’t it? I’ve been thinking lately about [...]
I’ve been thinking of the greater repercussions of torrents. Now we’ve all read articles touting both sides about torrents not harming entertainment sales and the exact opposite. Of course, people who take advantage of torrents will say that pirated torrents do not take away from traditional sales in any way. It’s up to hollywood to [...]
It’s not something you can Google either. I was just wondering why some things on the web just don’t feel as exciting any more.

Okay, so I’ve sent out the alpha invitations and I’m sure glad I’ve only sent it out to people whose support I appreciate because it’s been a very very rocky start. I hope to iron out a bunch of uptime issues and build out some core functionality (I plan on using it myself soon if [...]
The beauty of twitter is that it can be anything to anyone but these days it’s starting to feel like a massive link promotion tool. Of course, I’m not saying that my twitter friends are spammers. I think it basically boils down to several factors. Some people don’t want to bore you with the mundane [...]
Despite the lack of updates I’ve been (ironically) thinking about keeping things fresh, for web services that is. This is something that affects services that cater to users and rely on the community to support it. It’s hard to imagine a world where MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, or whatever doesn’t dominate but back in the day [...]
The founding developers of dodgeball.com have left google for good. I guess free food and a nice banner over your cubicle is not enticing enough to keep the entrepreneurial types satisfied. Twitter and dodgeball look like a tale of two cities on the surface but lets be realistic. Dodgeball was on the scene a long, [...]
I’ve dusted off the old powerball after feeling a weird tingly sensation in my wrists a couple weeks back. I know I’m still okay but it’s hard to ignore the writing on the wall. Basically, the powerball is a spinning gyroscope that you grip hard and spin around with small movements of your wrist. The [...]
