This may sound crazy, but trust me it looks like really fun! The Fun-O-Meter (also known as Robofun, the Fun Idea Machine, or Funulator… well, as the creator puts it of course), can dispense an idea per 50 cents.
Unlike most people who tried to monetize their website, Jake of Zoomdoggle.com came up this his unique money-making venture! An idea vending machine! The machine surely doesn’t look very fashionable, but it’s eye catchy all right! – and they are placed at strategic locations!
Back in August, Google was making a big hype about their brand new application code named “Chrome”. I wondered, “What could this new application be as it’s causing so much hype? It must be big!”. A couple of weeks after the announcement, I found out what was this new application. It turns out that to be nothing more than a new web browser. I felt a mixture of disappointment and excitement. Like most other people, I wasted no time and downloaded the new application. After two weeks of playing around with Google Chrome, I’m here to talk about what I love and hate about this browser from Google.
Picture sourced from Google Chrome I choose you.
If you used Firefox 3 or Internet Explorer 7, then you’ll be right at home. Google Chrome features the same tab system that can be found in the other popular browsers. In fact, rearranging the tabs in Google Chrome is much faster, and easier than in Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7.
I have recently updated our Colorful WordPress Theme.
It now features a larger page width so that you can display more content without the need to scroll down. I also realize that more and more users are using higher resolution and wider screens. The vertical scrolling frame has been removed and everything appears in a single frame.
I have moved the logo position, which was previously not too practical because it blended into the top navigation bar. It is now above the navigation bar.
Do give this WordPress theme a try and let me know if you have any suggestions to improve this theme further. It’s available for free… download here now.
Entrecard is an advertising exchange network for bloggers where you could boost your blog’s traffic using 125×125 banners. This is may sound like any ordinary banner exchange network but the important thing is it’s tailor for bloggers and it works like a charm! Entrecard is started at around November this year by Graham Langdon, a 22-year old Internet Entrepreneur.
By adding the 125×125 Entrecard banners to your blog, you can publicize other blogs on yours, and your blog on others, all for free for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This advertising is paid for through Entrecard credits, which are earned when you “drop your card” through a simple click on other blogger’s Entrecard banners, when they drop their card on yours, and when someone pays you with credits to place an ad on your blog.
Look how creative pranks can get these days.
This is the quickest way to deposit your money, no need to wait for the slow response from the money deposit machine… just drop your cash in the box and you are done. Haha…
I wonder if I put this box at any of the money deposit machines in this country, will I get some cash at the end of the day? 🙂
Still remember we talked about a finger fracture game for iPhone and iPod Touch earlier this year? That sure was an amazing game and created a lot of attention especially among the iPhone users.
Now, we have another game which takes full advantage of the system’s multitouch screen. This skateboarding game which is called Touch Grind lets your fingers do the skateboarding rather than your feet! Game play takes place in an unusual top-down view. You control the game by placing two fingertips onto the skateboard’s surface and flicking the board around to do tricks.

Introduction
I will try to make this as easy to understand to the common user as possible. However, the introduction will be a little bit technical, so please skip to the next section, The Necessary Software if you want to get to the gist of the article. For the rest, read on to the wonderful world of virtual computers.
In the past, when computers were big, bulky and expensive, not a lot of people could afford them. Only places like universities and large corporations can afford to have computers, and even then, they could only purchase a few units for use. But in such an environment, there could be hundreds of users all lining up wanting to use the computers, so “terminals” were created and placed around the building.
Terminal computers are simple and supposedly easy to use
These terminals were nothing more than just a screen with keyboard for input and it sends and receives instructions to the computer, called the mainframe back then. That is to say, the mainframe houses the components such as CPU, RAM, etc (although they were probably called vacuum tubes back then) that does all the necessary computations and to access these, you do so through the terminals. With hundreds of users all accessing the mainframe at the same time, a method called time-sharing was created so that the computer is not bogged down by trying to satisfy hundreds of requests at the same time.
This is a really good news for us who wants to own a HP computer, especially true if you are an undergraduate and postgraduate student. HP & AMD have come together to help you realize your dream by putting up 3 x scholarship packages worth RM25,000 each.
The scholarship package comes with a HP Pavilion tx2520au Entertainment Notebook PC absolutely free! And, mind you, that’s not the best part. You get a LUMP SUM PAYOUT and NO BONDING whatsoever!
Really unbelievable, if only I am still a student. 🙂
Check out more info here on HP’s website. No, I don’t work for HP nor AMD.
Lately I’ve been playing Castle Crashers on XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade). Castle Crashers is a console video game independently developed by The Behemoth, the same team behind Alien Hominid. Believe it or not, Castle Crashers was original made using Flash, then moved over to XNA, X-Box Live’s game creator service.
Feeling inspired, I decided to revisit Flash. For today’s Flash tutorial, I’m going to show you how to control a character’s walking animation with the left and right arrow keys.
1) Create New Flash Document
Probably the easiest step in this tutorial. Start Macromedia Flash, and open a new document. If you’re running Flash CS3, select new file and click on Flash File (Actionscript 2).
2) Create a blank movie clip.
Press Ctrl+F8. This will bring up the Create New Symbol Menu. Fill in a name of your new movie clip. For this tutorial, I am naming mine “Ninja”.

The past two weeks were pretty exciting, with all the sport events happening in Beijing Olympics 2008. And for most of you who use Google everyday, you will certainly notice that Google had a different logo everyday through the two weeks the games were held.
What’s more interesting is that the logos were mostly based on animal characters of the Chinese Zodiacs. Below is a compilation of the logos.
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony: Fu Wa (福娃）, The Olympic Flag and Flame, and the popular Bird’s Nest.
