The Amazon Unbox Widget is Super Cool
Ms South Carolina Says USA should help Iraq and South Africa so Americans can locate US on map
Did I get that right? I’ve watched this video about 5 times and I’m still unsure. It’s so funny!
The question posed to Ms South Carolina from the Miss Teen USA competition was, “One-fifth of Americans cannot find America on the map. Why do you think this is so?”

Do Left-sided Sidebars Get More Attention?
It just struck me while reading Jakob Nielsen’s eyetracking research into web usability and Google’s own Adsense heat maps, that sidebars on the left get a lot more attention from readers.
It makes sense for 2 reasons.
1) We read from left to right.
2) We’re so used to seeing right-sided sidebars that we’ve learnt to tune-off to […]
Raffles Hotel sells Slut for $6.25 (US$4.20)
This post from J. David Macor really embarrassed me. It’s a hilarious receipt from Raffles Hotel, Singapore. This 5-star hotel obviously made a typo error in one of the items, mistakenly labeling it as a ’slut’.

Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
I came across this amazingly inspirational speech by Steve Jobs. It reminds me of a similar and very funny commencement speech given by Guy Kawasaki a few years back.
Both men have really lived their dreams, and we ought to wonder if we have been living our dreams, or other people’s dreams.
I shall not say anymore, […]

News Hawker - This is how I get my news
Last year, I embarked on a personal project to gather all my news sources into one page. At that time, I was unaware of those one-page news aggregators. In any case, I wanted to build something that would meet my needs.
I call it News Hawker.
It’s an AJAX-driven site that displays articles from my often-read […]
