Buzzing Water Filter

2007-04-04T09:10:00.000+08:00

Sun, water, air, the 3 core elements of life, are now polluted. If not treated, they become the 3 core poisons of life. While we can't do much about sun and air, we can still take care of the water we drink everyday.

There are all sorts of water filters nowadays, ranging from normal micro filters to membrane filters. But, have you seen water bottle filter?

Buzzing MemoryStore

2007-04-04T08:55:00.000+08:00

I have been thinking of adding memory to my computer. It looks like if you are going to run Dreamweaver, Firefox, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator side by side, 1gb of memory will still lag! I need a computer memory upgrade.

MemoryStore probably ends my rant. First off, it is easy to search for the current type of memory that my machine in running on. Secondly, it offers free shipping, lifetime warranty and most importantly, money back guarantee.

The search function on MemoryStore is really useful. After choosing your current memory, it gives a list of possible upgrades. Their memory in store is compatible with major brands like Dell, Apple, Gateway, Sony, IBM and Sun.

Buzzing Car Insurance

2007-04-04T08:36:00.000+08:00

In my previous post I talked about the importance of life insurance. Car insurance is as important. Most of us spend a big part of our life driving. We are exposed to the risk.

"If there is a risk, there should be a hedge."

The premium payment for car insurance is usually way cheaper than life insurance, and it is usually cheaper than the car's maintenance cost. It makes sense to sign up for one if you have not already. Should anything happen while you are in the car that causes liability, you have nothing to worry about, since you have transfered the risk to car insurance company.

Nowadays, you can get car insurance quote easily from the internet. Try to get as many as you can and compare. You will find one that suit your driving style the most.

Buzzing Life Insurance

2007-04-04T08:08:00.000+08:00

Is life insurance important? Or let me rephrase, are you fully aware of all the benefits of a life insurance policy?

I have heard many people saying life insurance has no meaning. Who wants money when the person is already dead? Well, the purpose of life insurance is to protect those who are living. That is why it is called life insurance, not death insurance!

Life insurance can solve many problems. For example, a father, with a housewife and 3 children, left. What is left is a pile of bills for the family. Who is going to bear them? Let life insurance do the job.

A rich man left no cash but a piece of big real estate worth over $3 million. His son inherits the estate, but cannot afford to pay the estate duty. Should he under-sell the real estate in haste for $1.5 million just to get some fast money to pay the estate duty? Well, let insurance do the job!

Both the father and the rich man should have bought an insurance policy. They need to protect those who are still living after their death. Make sense?

Buzzing Human Clock

Buzzing Free Dating Site

2007-03-26T14:23:00.000+08:00

One of the very successful online dating site is PlentyOfFish, which the owner started it off from home, one person, and grew it to a big business, earning him hundreds of thousands of advertisement revenue every month.

If yes, you can make some extra cash for yourself by sourcing projects on Elance.com. Elance is a freelancer website where people post their jobs to get freelancers to finish them. If you have what they need, you can bid on the projects and make some money.

Elance is probably the largest site of its kind, with the most numbers of freelance writers providing their services. Of course, it works the other way round too. If you need help with softwares, graphic designs and the like, you can buy their service there.

Elance adopts a feedback rating system similar to Ebay. After every transaction, service buyer will rate the provider and vice versa. So, it is safe to transact with those who have a high rating.

When it comes to paying your provider, you can have your payment escrowed by Elance. In this case, you will pay Elance. Once you receive your deliverables, you will notify Elance to release the payment to the provider. This will minimize most fraud.

BuzzBadge to MailBigFiles

2007-03-09T09:22:00.000+08:00

You want to attach a file but your mail service tells you "Your file is too big". What can you do?

YouSendIt can help you send your blog files to anyone in the world with an email address. You can send a file up to 100MB in size.

Alternatively, you can use MailBigFiles. The interface is simple and it allows you to send any file up to the size of 512MB, which is 5 times more than YouSendIt!

Gmail is good enough to handle most of my attachments. But if I cannot make it work, I usually use YouSendIt, until I found out MailBigFiles recently. It is always good to have another great service under my belt.

BuzzBadge to Make A Feed

2007-03-09T09:08:00.000+08:00

Blog usually comes with an RSS feed. What if you have a website? Or you have a few pages you want to have feed on? Similar to PonyFish, Make A Feed can generate a feed for you in an instant.

How can you use a feed?
1) You want to trace the changes of a blog, but the blog do not have an RSS feed.
2) You want to track new lyrics added to a lyrics directory, but again, it does not have a feed address.
3) You want to track the changes to Terms of Service of a company, such as Google Adsense.
4) You want to track an announcement board.
5) You want to get all the updates in your RSS reader.

I am sure there are more ways to use a feed. I found using feed to track Terms and Conditions pages most useful, since we normally do not check those pages frequently after we agreed on them.

I stumbled upon the Scribbler. At first glance, it was an empty page with an instruction asking you to simply draw some lines. After some experiments, it impresses me. The scribbler can turn a simply picture like this:
Into this:

You just need to draw the lines, click on done, and then start scribbling and you will have this picture. I am not good at drawing, so, don't laugh :P

I then realize you can also scribble with colors, so, this is my creation:

I know there are people very artistic who can use the Scribbler very well. If you happen to create something impressive, kindly leave a comment with the picture.

WordPress And Themes

2007-03-07T11:28:00.000+08:00

Blogger has always been easy to use. However, if you need more functionality, such as the ability to categorize your blog posts, adding pages to your blog, you can always use Wordpress, the standalone version. You need to register a domain and buy some hosting spaces for this purpose.

You can download the latest version of Wordpress here.

I like Wordpress for its functionality, flexibility and expandability. There are many plugins you can use. In fact, you can almost find all the plugins you need.

Other than the plugins, it is easy as well to install and change themes for your blog. You can get the themes here.

Talking about themes, SmashingMagazine has a long list of 83 Most Beautiful Wordpress Themes.
