Minimalism always threatens to be boring, but I don't see that here. :)

Re: Develop Your Strengths and Forget About Those Weaknesses

Yes, it's true we can always find someone who can make up for what we lack, especially when it's easier to work online nowadays. That's why it's a great time to be a freelancer. :)

Oh yeah, I can definitely attest to the benefits of push-ups and sit-ups. I haven't done them for quite some time now, and I have a round belly and flabby arms to show for it!

Is this a lot like Liz Strauss' Open Mic, but with a tech flava? Or is Open Mic a general b5media thing? :-)

Well I'm no feminine beauty, and I've already registered. So how does this work? All I have to do is post before a certain deadline?

Haha, I am in awe of two greats flattering each other. ;)

Aaron, will I be able to continue contributing to this blog? When's the next OMF? :)

Ah, hence the "Final" in the title. :( Well, I've blogged about my involvement, and I know at least two people who're interested in writing. :)

I think the problem with having info on demand is that it can be overwhelming indeed. Haha, don't worry man, there are millions of people out there; some of them are bound to find your content interesting. ;-)

Just let your writing flow. Things will get interesting on their own, as long as you have le passion.

Hey Aaron, did you know Wordpress.com just turned one year old? :D Greet it a Happy Birthday!

Isn't Alexa also involved with the Internet archive? Or am I mistaken?

Re: Google News Archive Search

On a related note, I'm glad time archived all of its issues online. I was able to read about one of the Philippines' better presidents (Ramon Magsaysay), through an article dated 1951. Imagine! Being able to read something that was written thirty years before I was born.

It's also good to see what people's impressions were in the past. I guess that's the only way to see if we've really learned from our mistakes.

Re: Business Ego

Rico — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 04:00:48 -0000

I'm suddenly reminded of staff members or subordinates falling on their sword, literally or figuratively, for their leaders, simply becaused they believed in the vision. I think only true leaders who keep their ego in check can inspire such devotion.

You're correct about the audit trail Aaron. Electronic voting is sooooo feasible, that I suspect the only reason why it hasn't been widely adapted over there is because some parties are actively trying to block it, because then it'll be harder to manipulate the vote. meh.

Re: WordPress-to-WordPress Import

Gah, if only this were available when I was migrating my wordpress blog to fool45.com. Oh well, at least other people won't suffer what I did.

I'm sure they had fast connections to handle the streaming video. They're the CIA after all. Look at how they operated on foreign soil with impunity! :lol:

Haha, let me tell you if you're not careful, Zuma can take up your whole day. "Just...one...more...level!"

Anyways, a "creative way" would be going a day without touching anything electronic. I'm used to staring at a screen for hours (thanks to my uni days), but going unwired's been always a treat for me.
