For the first time, Facebook was the most popular site for a full week last week. Facebook had overtaken Google a few times before for a day or so, mostly around holidays. But this was the first time Google fell to second place for a full week.
The last time Google was knocked from the top [...]
Came across a new search engine called TinEye last week. It lets you either upload or paste a link to an image and it searches its index looking for the same image. For those that make money off of their images, or just don’t want copies on other sites, this is a good way to [...]
For whatever reason, Twitter just never really appealed to me. The idea of limiting myself to 140 characters seemed, well, too limiting. And my first few skims of Twitter had too high of a junk to good stuff ratio.
But after finally dragging myself to give it a shot, finding a few people to [...]
Found another offline Wordpress editor to try on my MacBook. This time it’s myWeblog 2.1. I like the looks of it. Seems very Mac-like, which I suppose is a good thing.
One of the things I’m most looking for, and so far only found in myWeblog, is the ability to edit pages. [...]

Let’s see how this goes. I’m writing my first blog post from my iPhone. A few months ago I tried the Wordpress app version 1 point something. Couldn’t figure out if it supported tag, and I prefer using tags over categories. Fortunately I came across version 2.1 today and it works without a hitch.
After using nothing but PCs for the past 15 or so years, getting a MacBook has given me a little more of a learning curve that I was expecting. Fortunately it’s been pretty intuitive and hasn’t been that bad. But there’s been one little snag that kept catching me.
By default the tab key does not [...]
Well, I am for now.
I noticed Baidu pretty much on a forum of mine 24/7, but I didn’t recall ever seeing them show up in the referrer logs. Over the past year, across the sites on my server, they’ve made almost 35,000 requests for pages; chewed up 337 megs of bandwidth, admittedly not a big [...]
