Vitaminthink is the brain child of Ryan Carson of Carson System. He is better known to designers as the co-founder of BD4D. What is interesting and special about Vitaminthink are the peoples behind it or the ‘advisory board’ that were made up of several big players in the web 2.0 scene. The member of the board includes Carl Henderson, the founder of Flickr, the popular picture sharing and ‘tag’ging website that allow people to share picture among members for free. He is one of the people that first introduce the term ‘tag’ in categorizing files or links. Other people include Dave Shea, of csszengarden, a css guru and Shaun Inman.

Kami-Robo, fighting paper robot!

The Ole

Thunder Cloud

Kami-robo are robot fighters made from paper, measuring about 15 to 20 centimeters tall. They have joints at the shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, wrists and ankles, which enable them to move freely and smoothly. They are designed to fight. Hold them in your hands and discover how ferociously and skillfully they can wrestle. If injured, they are immediately repaired and returned to the ring to fight to the bitter end. This is not a delicate handmade collection that requires special care. Since 1982, over 200 kami-robo have been created by Tomohiro Yasui. Madroneck Fighter, the first kami-robo, remains in top condition and is a keen contender in the ring.

Useful blogging tool part 2

In the first part, I have highlighted some programs or tools that can be very useful for bloggers. There are still many tools that can help blogger to improve their blog's performance. Here are some other tools that I think very useful and assential to any bloggers.

4. Feedblitz.
With the emergence of RSS and feeds, users today can subscribe to their favorite feed and later, can browse through it without even going to the respective website. This will cut short on surfing time when you can just browse through your RSS reader such as Google Reader and Bloglines for updates then going one by one to your favorite website. There are also program, as I have mention earlier such as Feeddigest that compile your favorite feed and then provide a Java script so user can put it onto their blog to make it more interesting.

Majority of computer users still prefer to check their email for news and updated whenever they turn on their computer. In a survey done, people are likely to check their email first before doing other thing once they are online. For this, there is a website that provide feed subscriber service that automatically email new update to the subscriber. The service is free, and it also provides a chicklet that shows how many people are subscribing to your feed, just like Feedburner.

5. Rollyo
One function that is very important for user to track back quickly through an archive is using the search function. Some blogging software does provide a search box but some did not, such as Blogger. Google have provided search box service for free and user with Adsense can also make money with it. For those that are looking for alternative search box that is quick and fully customizable, look no further, try Rollyo.

The major different between Rollyo and Google search box is that Rollyo is powered by Yahoo. But unlike Google that allow user to search using its search engine, which is good, Rollyo give the option to user to choose where their want to search in. User can type in any URL where they want to search in.

Apa itu sajak?

Sebuah sajak yang menjadi adalah suatu dunia. Dunia yang dijadikan, diciptakan kembali oleh si penyair. Diciptakannya kembali, dibentukkannya dari benda dan rohani, keadaan (ideal dan visual) alam dan penghidupan sekelilingnya, dia juga mendapat bahan dari hasil-hasil kesenain lain yang bererti bagi dia, berhubung jiwa dengan dia, dari pikiran-pikiran dan pendapat orang lain, segala yang masuk dalam bayangannya, anasir-anasir atau unsur-unsur yang sudah ada dijadikannya, dihubungkannya satu sama lain, dikahwinkannya menjadi satu kesatuan yang penuh (indah serta mengharukan) dan baru, suatu dunia baru, dunia kepunyaan penyair itu sendiri. - Chairil Anwar dipetik dari Pidato Radio 1946

The poet of essences and pure ideas must seek in the half-light that glimmer from symbol to symbol as if to the ends of the earth. all that the epic and dramatic poet finds of mystery and shadow in the accidental circumstances of life. - William Butler Yeats from The Philosophy of Shelley's Poetry

Color My Iris

Formed early 2002, with initial line-up consisting of Thong Wing Hoong (Thong), Ang Chek Chow (Ang), Yau Way King (King), Ahmad Nazery (Jiboy) and Rohazuddin Hassan (E.D).

Our music was influenced and inspired by a a huge range of bands, such as The Gloria Record, Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, Buddhistson, Elliott, and Cursive. More!
