I don’t have any advertisement on my weblog so it doesn’t earn me any revenue whatsoever. But if it did, I would pledge my blog earnings to BlogAid. If you generate any revenue from your weblog, you might want to consider pledging. It’s for a good cause. Alternately, nature.com’s Earthquake disaster: how to help explains…… Continue reading BlogAid: Support the Asia Relief Effort

Nature.com on the South Asia Earthquake
Devastating quake redraws map. This nature.com article explains how the earthquake has moved some islands by several metres only within minutes and why the wave created by it was able to wash up areas as far as 5 kilometres inland. And of course, Indonesian tsunami-monitoring system lacked basic equipment. If you’d lived in Indonesia all…… Continue reading Nature.com on the South Asia Earthquake
A Picture Speaks 1,000 Words
Images of Tsunami Sites by DigitalGlobe show the aerial views of Banda Aceh, Indonesia and Kalutara, Sri Lanka before and after the disaster struck. Thirst and grief stalk Indonesia. Photographs from Banda Aceh, Indonesia by Reuters AlertNet show the devastating state of Banda Aceh after the disaster. IRIS Seismic Monitor has a map and a…… Continue reading A Picture Speaks 1,000 Words
Everything Is Wrong
Tsunami death toll jumps over 120,000. Aid pours into Asia, not reaching tsunami victims. Tsunami waters raise landmine fears in Sri Lanka. Everything seems to have gone wrong in this world. I keep thinking about how the survivors must feel. I know how it feels to lose a family member (my mother died last year…… Continue reading Everything Is Wrong
A Call for Help
I’m sure you have all heard about the South Asia earthquake and tsunamis. I’m not going to say anything about it since no word could do it justice. The least I can do is ask you to make a donation towards the relief funds if you have some money to spare. You can do it…… Continue reading A Call for Help
Always Take the Weather
Ever since I witnessed the Northern Lights a.k.a. Aurora Borealis on November 7 (which was the most amazing thing, ever), I’ve become slightly obsessed with SpaceWeather.com. I have to check this site at least once a day. One night, after the November 7 Aurora sighting, the boy had to reluctantly drive me out of town…… Continue reading Always Take the Weather
My Flickr Account
Last month I started posting my favourite photos taken with my new digital camera to my Flickr account instead of to my photolog for reasons that I really can’t remember right now. Unfortunately, I have exceeded my Flickr quota for this month so there’ll be no new photos posted to Flickr until next month, unless…… Continue reading My Flickr Account
Boy O Boy
I came across this boyband parody through Swirlee yesterday and I just have to listen to it first thing in the morning since then because it never fails to crack me up. I feel sorry for the boy, though. It’s the first thing he has to listen to before he goes to work. Though I…… Continue reading Boy O Boy

It will stop him for sure. I…… Continue reading Bob Loves You
Dude, Where’s My Cursor?
The Invisibility Game is pretty frustrating but you might find it fun. Just try to move your cursor from the “go” box to the “stop” box without going outside the main box. Sounds easy? Well, it would be easy if only you could see the cursor. Told you it was frustrating! I could never go…… Continue reading Dude, Where’s My Cursor?
