Two-thirds of all Americans are fat.
I didn’t make that up. That’s what “F as in Fat 2009” - a report just published today - tells us.
And by “fat” they don’t mean an extra few pounds. They mean overweight. And obese. And it’s everyone. Men. Women. Children. And it’s not just here or there. It’s everywhere.
Okay so maybe […]

My brother asked the question on Facebook. Why isn’t anyone talking about the $134 billion found in a suitcase?
I didn’t know anything about it, so I googled it and found that 5 days ago, two 50-something men were stopped by customs officers on a train in Italy on their way into Switzerland. The customs officers […]

I don’t watch a lot of TV. But I do watch House. I don’t have a medical background, but find the problems that House’s team solves to be interesting and, at times, magical.

What does Google, Wikipedia and Cisco have in common? Other than being highly recognisable brands, they all have websites that speak in many tongues. In fact, these sites offer content in over 35 languages.
As the French would say, “Incroyable!!!”.
How can you determine what language strategy you should follow for your website?

When an A-list blogger like Phil Butler at Profy spins a good tale about hakia vs. Google, Powerset against the rest of the world, or even Astro Versus Scooby Doo, his readers praise him. We feel better knowing there are search engines out there that will provide better results somewhere in the future. And […]

I Make You Smile
and you give back so much!
I would like to thank Kim for the “You Make Me Smile” award and give back the link love.
And this reminds me to write an entry about blog awards… with their pros and cons - particularly why you should be careful with some of them. This will […]

“You are what you post” says Jay Ovittore in his personal blog. And what great words these are! The more I think about it, the more I see their deep meaning, veracity… sense. So why don’t we all make them a motto of sorts and start living under their shield. Because this is what these […]
