Speaking of buzzwords, this isn't exclusively tech but it might as well be because it's free. Catch up on the debate!

Firefox Upgrade Is Shiny (Like Chrome)


What's not to like about the new firefox 3.5 update? Regardless, you're still going to do it because not only is it faster with new features to boot and before you complain incessantly, it's not like you'll be paying for it. Just feels weird to see it more Chrome-y. Oh and that's a complement.

InterWeb: Learning and Teaching at the Core

Felt as if we all lost a chunk. RIP, MJ.

Ironically, it has taken technology as a tool to provide and remind us once again that more than ever how personal core values remain as important as ever whether at real world or virtual space. The quest to find meaning is as strong as ever and nowhere in history has this been as collective and interconnected now more than any other time. It is as if more than intellect, true success stories are but another facet of connecting with passions and pursuing them despite the costs but careful not to upset social balance towards inequality (or lack of concern towards plight of others).

Positivity in Practical Steps. Encouragement is more than words, of course.

Q. What's the fastest way to improve quality of learning, make information more memorable and make your ideas easier to share with others (and probably, get the longest recall)?


A: Going Visual, of course. (We're all kids when it comes to learning and visuals/drawings transmit a lot more information in less scribbles than a handful of notes).

Anyway, if you've got some dough to spare, you may want to check this out and spend for something of value - the Visual Note-Taking 101 course.

I know what you're thinking. Even drawing stick figures can be tough for you. So? That is beside the point. But if you're not ready to get your pencils wet? Check out the amazing course authors' blogs and get a glimpse of their amazing work.
