Friendster Blog
Many bloggers would have heard about Friendster Blogs powered by Typepad. Basically the service is available only to Americans and probably Canadians for now. Izuan pointed out on Itchyhands that just like Hotmail, we just need to change our profile location to USA to get the privilege of a blog on Friendster. I don’t need another blog, neither do I need so many email accounts, but I tried it out anyways. Apparently, it still works….with a few tries. Check out my Friendster blog. After signing up, I tried changing my profile back to Malaysia. I can’t get to the edit page from my Friendster account after that, but I had…

Saving a buck at the toll
I was fetched by Jet to go to Kajang Prima today to get something. To get there from my house, the shortest route is to pass through the Silk highway, where in the middle sits a nice toll plaza, charging users of the road RM1 each time.

Gmail invitations
LiewCF has been promoting his gmail invitations and it has certainly been going like hot cakes, now you see, now you don’t. Well, if you happen to come by here in search for one, just leave your name and tel no in the comments (er i mean your email la) 😛 and you’ll get invited by me immediately.

Only if you really need it ok, you gotta sound really desperate in the comments! Cheers.

Scholarly Google
Google seems to have more than just Gmail up its sleeves in Beta Testing. I found out about this nifty tool called Google Scholar that searches through the net for only “scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. ” I find it extremely useful when one is looking for a particular article by a certain writer about quite a general subject. For example, searching for ‘Multimedia’ in Google Search will turn out all sorts of useless resellers and company sites. Using Google Scholar I can be sure to find some published journals and educational research materials. Wow, Google really…
