When Not to Use Google Search
I think Google is awesome, and I use it every day. However, there are times when I get really frustrated with it. There are searches I run and no matter how I seem to change the words I use, I still get a bunch of crap. The crap is usually in the form of results [...]
A Real “Easy” Button – Photo Editing
I recently downloaded Picasa 3 after reading this article, and as someone who already loves Picasa, this new version is great. You can also download the new Picasa here (it’s free).
My friend Toto Vo is visiting me in Taiwan right now. Toto is a semi-professional photographer and has 2 nice cameras at his disposal. We [...]
Who am I talking to?
So, I’ve got this blog and I keep writing things on it. What’s the deal? I have been asking myself that question more often lately, because it’s been harder and harder for me to write articles for some reason. While looking for inspiration I found some articles I thought I’d share.

Finding New Music and Sharing Yours – Free & Legal
Lately, when I don’t want to hear anything in my music collection, I’ve been going to a “mix tape” website called Muxtape. The website is legal, and a great way to surf music.

Many people I know, rather limited in their PC abilities, just want a
computer to (1) get on the internet (2) store pictures (3) play games.
One of my co-workers just bought a laptop PC for these reasons, [...]
Summary of the US Economy from the CIA
I have been looking at some details of various countries on the CIA website during the last few weeks. It’s a great website,
it talks about history, economy, government, people, geography, etc. I decided to read through the CIA’s description of the US Economy. I’d like to highlight a few things of note on the summary [...]

There are lots of moments when I want to surf the web. I want to read something new, interesting, and I don’t wanna go to Google News all the time. Lately, I’ve been going to my DEL.ICIO.US account, and clicking on other users who have the same saved link as me. (You can see [...]
