Facebook has just opened up to public users who can associate themselves by region (instead of school or workplace). IMHO, it’s a big threat to Friendster and Myspace. Now social networking becomes a triumvirate. Join the Singapore network! If you’re a friend of mine, add me. I’ve sent invites to some of you. The first …
To think I was celebrating the acquisition of Rojo by Sixapart in a recent post. A few days ago I logged into Rojo for my daily fix of geek news and was surprised to find that the tag cloud was gone. Gone! When I first used Rojo I found it a bit overwhelming but soon …
My favourite news aggregator, Rojo, was bought over by my (still) favourite blog company, SixApart. eBible is now open to the public. Now you can play ‘tag’ with Jesus 😉 Outsiders may be able to join Facebook. Hmm I wonder if they’ll add Singapore to the list.

For those of you who missed today’s Mind Your Body supplement in the Straits Times today: This responsible Singaporean has been alerting our National Environment Agency (NEA) to possible mosquito breeding grounds, through his blog. Well done! While doing my research on Podcasting, I came across this Wikipedia entry which mentions that opposition member Chee …
I got my regular email from Sitepoint and was pleasantly surprised to see a fellow Web Standards enthusiast in it! All I can say is: Support Chu Yeow and his book, Firefox Secrets!! In his own words…
I was searching around for text-to-image converters, after being inspired by what Mr Brown did. Years ago, I also tried playing around with K10K’s Sigmund but couldn’t figure how to run it on my own server. So I was intrigued when I found this site via Google.
