I’m a lawn kind of guy. When I’ll be hunting for a home (when it’s time for me to settle down), I’d probably opt for a piece of real estate that has a lawn. Not necessarily a sprawling one but just a nice patch of green where children and pets could run about. However, getting [...]

If you’re a blogger or reviewer, taking screencaps can be a real chore. That is, if you don’t invest on a good screen capturing software. Of the ones I’ve tried, Techsmith’s SnagIt is my favorite.

Okay, I’m now trying to be optimistic and look for some positive sides on being a Vista user. And I’ve found one. I remember in XP and with the previous versions of Windows, I usually used the Run line to launch some of the system applications like Notepad or Calculator. Forgive me if I’m not [...]

WTF!?! Yes. That was my reaction when I read this news on the Arizona Republic website (via Consumerist). It’s true what they say, kids fashion have taken things into the skankier direction that is the fashion of Britney, Paris, and Lindsay.

So many places have actually put limits to what you can get from the Net. Many schools have blocked social network sites and broadband hogs. Some countries just don’t even allow people to access sites. Oh yes, not to exclude those nasty network admins who love to deprive you your daily Internet trash. So while [...]

So here’s another one for the love of Firefox and Google services. As a die-hard Google user, my Bookmarks Toolbar is filled with a lot of links to Google services. Why not, right? There’s nothing better than just clicking my way to them rather than typing the URL in my address bar (never mind if [...]
