Saw this article from Digg.
Now Speedtest.net used to be a pretty boring site with your common speed stats displayed. But they’ve revamped the site including a pretty snazzy interface and comparison data.
If you’re wondering how your Internet connection matches up with the rest of the world (or if your provider duped you with all [...]
As a follow-up on my office ergonomics tips for business owners post, I’m posting this one on telephones.
I’ve seen far too many front desk people cradle phones between their shoulder and neck. It’s really bad for them. So if you ever do that, you might want to consider these tips on phone ergonomics:

Firefox 3, which is due out later this year, will probably contain a slew of new features. As as Firefox junkie, I’m all too anxious to get my hands on the final version.
As news has it, 3 will probably include features like offline support for Web applications. One thing they’re also looking at [...]

I’m not really a sound engineering but I like audio. I did a few mixes myself and done some voice acting. I still play the guitar when I can. And if there’s one thing that I’ve learned from all of that, talent is one thing, but equipment counts. I’ve done some personal recordings using [...]

Now as a follow-up to my previous post on the topic. I originally meant it as a cursory look at earning with Adsense, but since the post got a decent number of hits (thanks to David and our sister blog, Blogging Pro), I’m now making a follow-up.
You’re writing on your blog and you’ve got [...]

I personally dread the lack of parking spaces in high traffic areas. You spend hours upon hours circling the block hoping to find a parking space only to find out your odometer raking up miles. Oh yeah, and those unscrupulous drivers who can’t seem to park their cars right - taking up a bit [...]

I’ve been rally hyping on office suites for their use as free and quick (no set-up required) document manager and collaboration software. So far I’ve only really used Google Docs and Spreadsheets until I stumbled upon a few others that you might want to consider.
Here they are:
Google Docs and Spreadsheets
Ajax 13
ThinkFree Office Online
Zoho Office [...]

One things that’s a bummer. Some of us keep two accounts in one e-mail provider. Like for example, some would have two or more Gmail accounts. However, more often than not, you can only open one account at a time in a browser.
One quick way around this is to have two browsers open (usually [...]

Heck, Valentine’s Day alert! Here’s some cheesy post on how people around the globe say “I love you.” Even in English alone, you can phrase it in a lot of ways but mostly you’ll end up sounding either like a poet or Star Wars geek/Master Yoda. Here are a few:

I’ve recommended Google Docs and Spreadsheets as an effective (free!) collaborative online document manager before. I personally use it for most of our collaborative work. However, the chat-style interface doesn’t quite help when you’ve got a few people working on it once.
For such work, me and my buddies have had better successes with Skype [...]
