The Semantic Web and Intelligent Systems

I’ve been thinking about Twine a lot recently. I see a lot of potential in the semantic web and I think a lot of people will be thinking that way once Twine is here. Smarter systems that start learning from our siloed information all over the web and on our desktop, then start making intelligent [...]

Forget iTunes, forget cable, I went with Netflix

Last time I subscribed to cable TV service, the bill for basic service and cable internet was nearly $100 per month. Even with the short-term bundle pricing, all the taxes and fees the cable companies tack on make it an expensive service. I decided it’s not worth it. I don’t subscribe to cable TV. But [...]

I need a break

I don’t function well with this much work to do. I don’t have time to take a break for Thanksgiving. I need a long break. If only I had gone to a normal university I would have had summer breaks… that would’ve helped. The server running W3Counter started acting funky and needed a reboot a [...]

Getting the most out of college

Midterms are over, assignments are in. I set up a wiki, Subversion repository, trac and Bugzilla for my senior design project team. Time to work on the business again. No time to sleep in, though… Saturday morning I’ll be up early for a workshop on testing business concepts at the Baida Center. Drexel University’s Lebow [...]

Ron Paul’s support is fake

If you watched Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC before and after the Democratic debate a few hours ago, you would’ve seen a crowd of students behind Chris and his guests throughout the show. You’d also notice that just about every huge sign these students waved the entire night was for Ron Paul (and the [...]

Brian Williams, the moderator, is broadcasting his news show from Drexel prior to the debate, then the debate itself will be held in the school’s main auditorium. There were only 250 tickets available to see it in person, and thousands that wanted them, [...]

Design at a snail’s pace

It takes me so long to do so little with Photoshop. Still feels like it’s missing something too. Next thing I need to do, at least, is some CSS text replacement with images for those cruddy people still running IE6 with no anti-aliasing and without my favorite ‘Trebuchet MS’ font. I won’t have much time [...]

Friday’s entertainment

Used a gift card from my sister to buy both DVDs of Karas. Judging from the first 5 minutes alone, I may enjoy this more than the movie that stub was from. Extraordinary animation — a magnificent blend of drawn and 3D rendered artwork. Have I mentioned on this blog that I love good anime? [...]

Who knew there was a Chinese version of my site

I was going through the popular pages report for Website Goodies when I came across something strange. Looks like something written in a non-western character set… coming up as a page of my site? Turns out doseo.org copied the HTML and images for Website Goodies and filled in (mostly) their own content. They even left [...]

Where can I buy unique articles?

Anyone purchased pre-written articles before and can recommend a site? I’m looking at Constant Content but find it rather sparse in some topics. I’d like to buy a few articles for Website Goodies to publish over time. The ECPM there for AdSense is awesome, so I shouldn’t be neglecting the site so much. No volunteers [...]
