Hola and thanks for reading.
FYI I’ve decided to switch up my online identity and therefore, this blog is dying … to be reborn in a remix mashup of all my blogs together at last in one spot. All new posts will live at Sparkplug 9.
Thanks so much for reading, and please join the party at […]

OK, I’ve moved my OPML to Google Reader from Bloglines and I’m going to give it a shot.

Buzzword beats current Ajax-based offerings like Google Docs and Zoho Writer in both usability and aesthetic impact. And in a few months, when a desktop version is released, Buzzword will pose a serious challenge to Microsoft […]

Sometimes I can’t believe the lengths people will go to in order to save money. Michael Shannon has about 2500 words and perhaps 25 illustrations on 5 pages teaching you how to create your own Moleskine-like notebook.
