I registered my domain name through NameZero. It expires on 23 Oct 2002. Can I get it registered from someone other registrar on that day?
I’m learning Flash.
It’s true. The Web is boring. I am increasingly bored. Can’t somebody come up with new paradigms?
The Solar System. From anywhere.
In defense of cheating. About how the school system should be changed to encourage co-operation.
Corporate anthems in IT companies. Imagine having to listen to these for motivation. (Or singing along!)
Science jokes. Includes several old classics like “The four branches of arithmetic - ambition, distraction, uglification and derision.” (Lewis Caroll).
Mobile phones may not affect planes after all. But they sure affect thumbs. (Note: I always used my thumb for pointing.)

Google fights googlebombing… or does it?
Powerful thoughts against digitization. And since these days I need an excuse to justify the amount of paper I’m using, this article helps ease my conscience.
World Gazetteer: a fantastic demographic and geographic database.
