I did not expect myself to be so passionate about fonts. I know that fonts can be beautiful. Using the right fonts can make a page full of text more pleasing, more inviting, and even easier to read. A beautiful website design requires much thought on the selection of fonts. Fonts, without a doubt, serve a very important function. So it is not surprising that I will spend time to choose the right fonts. What is surprising is that I…
It hasn’t really been a long time since my last “state of my blog” update. The last was when I wrote about WordPress 3.3, or if you don’t count that, then when I announced I had outsourced the hosting of this site. The last week, I’ve been on a roll – writing one post per day. It just happened that there were things to write last week. It’s not a posting rate that is sustainable now. Maybe, I could target…
Did you know you can get yourself a stack of Facebook business cards, free of charge? Oh well, you do have to pay for shipping, which is a reasonably nominal charge. The business cards are really free, no gimmicks, courtesy of Moo. You can order a box of 50 business cards from a convenient link on Facebook. Then you’re sent off to Moo’s website to customize your card, provide delivery details, and pay for the delivery. Moo’s offer for the…
I haven’t really gotten onto the Twitter bandwagon. Sure, I have a Twitter account, just like about almost everyone else that exist on any social network. But I’ve found that in my circles, Facebook seems to be the overwhelmingly most frequently used social networking tool. I didn’t think Twitter really mattered anymore. Besides, there were just too many clumsy quirks due to various technical limitations of their technology. Is Twitter still very relevant now? I’m wondering about it, because, at…
WordPress never ceases to fascinate me. With each version upgrade, it gets so much better, it makes blogging so fun all over again. Sure, once in a while, I’m disagreeable with a couple of changes. But the improvements often outweigh the little setbacks that I’ve no qualms about updating my WordPress installation. Every time a new version is announced, I just upgrade without thinking. The latest version 3.3 has made a bunch of usability improvements. The most important one, to…
Google’s launch of + (Google Plus) is just a little over two weeks ago. They already have some 10 million users signed up. With all the buzz and excitement surrounding it, it looks set to push much farther ahead than Google’s other social projects managed to achieved. It is the first real competition to Facebook. Google still has a long way to go, but their latest project is certainly on the right path to make sure Internet users spend more…
I’ve been transferring my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap as the time came up for their renewals in the last couple of months. I have another domain that is coming up for renewal now. Just coincidentally, Namecheap is currently running a promotion on Facebook, offering a discount coupon for .com/.net/.org domain registrations at the price of just US$1.99. Sounds attractive?
I’ve moved this website. You probably know where to, if you’ve been following my recent posts. After one week pilot testing Bluehost and GreenGeeks, I decided to go with Bluehost. If you’re reading this post, it means you’re already seeing the relocated website. As much as I want to support a pro-green web hosting company, after much careful consideration, I concluded that Bluehost offered a better package for my needs.
Yup, if you’ve not voted, tomorrow’s the last day to vote for your favourite N.E.mation clip. Remember there are 4 ways you can vote, and each of those 4 ways count separately: at the www.nemation.sg website (visit with a PC or Mac), the mobile website (visit the same URL with a mobile phone), at the Facebook page www.facebook.com/nemation, and by sending SMS. Each person can only vote once per method, and each time you vote you have to pick 3 clips….
I’m not the patriotic kind that will want to write about or promote a “government project”. But hop over to N.E.mation 5, because this one deserves some attention. It’s a stop-motion animation competition on the theme of Total Defense (or perhaps National Education… that’s where the N.E. comes from in the competition name). Students from 600 school teams, with no prior experience in animation, came together to learn and pitch their ideas. Ten teams were eventually selected to work on…
