Today's topic isn't as excting as the last 2 but it's pretty interesting in such a way that the "life to do" list keeps you focused on your goals (short or long terms). Compared to my black book or my cellphone where i put all my schedules and stuff to accomplish, 43 things(I have no idea why it's 43) is made public and anyone could have access to it. You could b cheered by strangers and get some thumbs up to keep you going, you could share your own experience and advices on stuff you've already accomplished with those with the same aspirations.
You can connect with locals in your city and around the world if you plan on going places; you could also meet interesting people; track what you're consuming and get some advices and recommendations and so many other stuff you could do.
The site itself is really straight forwad to use and require to create an account that has to be activated through a link sent in your email account.
Add your to do stuff and tag them, in case of already done stuff, the site provides an option of marking the event as already done. Beside every entry there's a statistic of the number of people with the same tag as your entry and the site provides also a maximum of 5 cheers. You could also publish your experience after completing a goal by a certain date and "create your own consequences".
You could also reorder all your entries by choosing the "Re-order" link and choose the hierachy of your things. This list can be put onto the blog by going into "Edit Your Account" and choosing"Post on blog". From the provided list of blog platforms, choose the one and provide the required information for identifification and finally save the new setting. Unfortunatelly I haven't seen mine appearing on my blog as i was expecting, maybe it takes time before the list is uploaded, let's wait and see...
This is a cool thing to try and would be really nice if someone you don't know reminds you of something you've put onto your life to do list.
My list is on the following link

Podcast
A couple of months back I was wondering what could be the most effective way of having my favourite shows, movies or music always with me on my Ipod and access them anytime and anywhere I wanted to, the solution came with this new topic: Podcasting!!
Basically, all the files are obtained online via RSS feeds and these files are played on devices such as Ipod and others.
My favourites are:
http://biblestudypodcasts.org/
http://blog.pandora.com/archives/podcast/2007/03/reggae_ska_rock.html
http://www.dubsession.com/podcastbroadcast.htm
The all experience has been really cool and i don't see myself loose track despite all the daily loads of school work, i still afford a moment of enjoyment thanks to podcasting.
The first podcaster has some pretty interesting themes and above all has a bible study programme.
The last two webcast some of the hot juicy reggae music that i can't do without.
With the evolution of science I think there are new ways of living we should emulate and adopt technologies that are sustainable. I buy audiobooks, not because i don't like reading but it's a whole way of saving a couple trees from being cut...I've decided to go green!!
My main source of audiobooks is audible.com ; i get my audio sport magazines and other TV shows.
I'm very picky when it comes to audiobooks since i don't get them for free!! I'm very specific on whatever i wanna get but they always meeant for entertainment and less educational.
The all idea of audiobook is really great but the only problem, the coolest audiobooks aren't always free!! the free ones aren't of good quality.
One of the biggest problem i've come across since starting getting podcasts has been the space to store them, my Ipod is almost full and my laptop as well, i had to get an external harddrive meant only for all these files!!
Some offerings and purchases plans of the sites i looked at were pretty interesting but i discovered that the cheaper the plans, the less quality product you get out of them.

Online Generators
WOOOW!!!
I must confess, this is the coolest stuff so far(well in every lab i discover lot of new and cool stuff but this one is da bomb!!).
Seems like that era where only superstars had their posters or photos on covers of magazine, of CDs,.. is now over!!
I'm my own superstar!! with my photo on a billboard in Time Square or the cover of my "movie" and many more...
All it takes is to choose a template, edit it and post it. Just as simple as that, no need to know photoshop or other "hard to use"photoediting software to edit a cover of a magazine. The only buzz to this; you are constrained to the available templates provided by the generator.
I've come across many of such generators some pretty interesting and relating various types of generators such as CSS, Button, flash, Menu, Text, Image, Tag, blog, website,... I could resiste to the temptation of playing with "The Face Transformer" generator(http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk//Transformer/index.html); Try this generator and see how you would look if you were Afro - caribean or Causian or East Asian or west Asian; you could also select the age range as well and see how you would look if you were an adult East Asian or a baby Afro Caribean. I Tried it with my ex girlfriend photo and i would say the output was 80% exactly compared to her 10 year old photo!!
I also edit avatars(http://www.dookyweb.com/avatars.swf), created my own cartoon (in french http://www.gnomz.com/creerunebd.html) and many other cool stuff. The online generators are really simple and straight forward to use

Flickr
This is a test post from 
, a fancy photo sharing thing.
Today it's about flicking Flickr. I've been using the PitureTrail another photo sharing website for the past 4 months or so, PictureTrail and Flickr are in some ways similar, they both are used by bloggers (PictureTrail is mainly used by people using MySpace).I won't say which of the two is great since i haven't really fluent with Flickr but so far PictureTrail has been really cool. I found some pretty nice features with Flickr as well, such as categorising your photos using tags, putting photos that have the same titles. I also find that i could set my photos to private or public or make them available to a particular group which is a cool thing but initially all the defaults options are set to public. I put a link of my photos on my blog that way i don't have to load my space on my blog but instead using just a link that redirect to Flickr for anyone wanting to see my photosOne of the interesting pictures that i found can be found on this link:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tglow/501390052/I also played around with http://www.beckysweb.co.uk/sudoku/flickrsudoku.asp but definitelly, Flicker is really interesting than this one.
