I was in the middle of compiling my personal Jane Austen movie collection when I came across this message from a site I frequent for my movie fixes:

Now ain't that just the cutest thing ever?

I just saw this while I was
Stumbling (yeah, stumbling can actually be fun as long as you're doing it online lol). I know some might call it sexist or overly patronizing - girls are always the damsels "waiting to be picked", as if they can't do their own picking - and I'm not even talking about the "rotten apples from the ground" yet. But you'll have to admit it's kind of cute, in an elementary-school (or giggling high school girl) kind of way :p

I just finished doing a quick online search for a computer peripheral I wanted to buy here in the Philippines. I had initially opted to search the online stores like
Ebay.ph,
PC Bodega,
OLX, and
Sulit, but I realized I missed the feeling of actually going inside a computer store, smelling the wonderful new electronics, and ogling at the displays of latest gadgets I can't afford to buy. (Yeah, I must admit that at one point in my life I was a computer-windowshopper).
The entire experience has inspired me to write a full-length article that lists and describes the computer shop sites I've encountered - it's a semi-complete list ranging from 5th Ave. Electronic City to Villman. You can read the whole listing-slash-site-review
here. Don't forget to click on the "I Like It" link to show your appreciation :)

Have you ever wondered what great contribution you can make to further advance the understanding of human sociology?
Well, fret no more. The
US Library of Congress has announced that it will keep an archive of all tweets made on the microblogging service
Twitter since March 2006. Yep, that means all the tweets you've sent out - from the most mundane "I'm having enchiladas for lunch" to the most profound "just discovered Angelina Jolie's face is really asymmetrical" will be immortalized in the august archives of the largest library in the world. The LOC made this announcement in its very own
Twitter and
Facebook pages before the official press release was circulated to the world. A very fitting,
a courant approach for a library that has been around since the 1800s.
Response will be most likely ambiguous from the over
75 million Twitter users worldwide. Tweet preservationists might rejoice, but everyday users guilty of sending out the craziest, most drunken, incriminating tweets can only collectively cringe with dread. Before you despair, here's a comforting thought - the LOC has promised it will only highlight the historically and culturally important tweets, like President Obama's "This is history" message. The rest will just go into the LOC's 167-terabyte online archive for the perusal of sociologists, researchers, and the occasional tweet voyeur.

...But if you'd care to read, I'm in the process of linking this blog to MyLot.
MyLot is an excellent online community made up of mostly helpful, cheerful souls. I stumbled upon this community two months ago after a particularly persistent friend (you know who you are) asked me to take a look at her page. Unlike other online communities I've seen, this one has a particularly vibrant membership. The discussions section rarely lacks for interesting if not informative topics. Plus, or rather, PLUS, member get paid just to be active in the community. The income you get from this is not really that big but it could help just a teeny bit towards your online earnings.
I've just posted a lengthy review of MyLot on Helium. You can read it
here. Please don't forget to rate the article!
Sorry spiders. You (and other curious passersby) can access my MyLot post claim
here. Here's my
myLot User Profile.
By the way, 347C6SGXFJPV is the magic code of the day.
