New York Fashion Week Changes
4 September 25th, 2007Future, Learning, Life, Media, Musings, Tidbits.
I routinely check CNN for news in the morning while settling into my work day and was surprised to read this headline ‘Modesty is returning to fashion runways.’ It’s not something I was expecting anytime soon given the trends in the fashion industry and the recent issues on global warming which might prompt designers to […]
I did a double take when I saw the article and saw that it was in Rome, one of those cities I’d definitely want to visit again. I checked Google for sites that listed prices for the concert and was astounded at the high (lemme try again, very high!) prices. Those ticket prices are way […]

Nicholas Negroponte has been championing the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Organization for several years now (Nov 2005) and has yet to produce a real $100 laptop.

I haven’t dabbled into Java for my more recent projects, but I’ve found that forums are a great place to find information about your favorite software as they almost always offer two sides of the story. The advice usually comes in pros and cons and you can observe the logical flow of the posts. Newbies […]

I’m experimenting with Flickr. It now has a plugin for wordpress. I’ve also been promising some friends that I’d be posting some of our old photos. Before I forget, note that I took the pictures for most of these shots (90%+). Also, these pictures are not perfect as the digicams back in those days were […]
