Not too long ago, being in Generation X was hip. Then along came the Generation Y’ers, and shortly, one can imagine, Generation Z?? Have you ever wondered who came up with these groupings or what they actually mean? Well, it seems that these are not some random words made up by journalists or writers. There is actually – albeit rather US-centric for some of them – list of the various “generations” dating back to the 1700s.
So, which generation are you?

Chanced upon this article referenced in a newsletter I subscribe to, which has details on how to add a Google Map to your web site. Pretty cool stuff and yet another wonder courtesy of Web 2.0!
Here is an example with Singapore centred. Place your mouse over the map, hold the left button and start to explore!

According to Wikipedia, typography is
“is the art and technique of setting written subject matter in type using a combination of fonts, font size, line length, leading (line spacing) and individual and overall letter spacing.”
Quite a mouthful. And having written many technical papers and reports as well as writing online, I can personally say that it is no mean feat.
Well, here are some discussions from people much more knowledgeable than me about improving readability for online reading.

With the release of the new The Da Vinci Code movie, the interest in Dan Brown’s novel of the same title is simply phenomenal.
As another nice example of what is possible with Web 2.0, some creative minds has actually created a Da Vinci Tour and Da Vinci Code Map, both based on Google Maps. This is what is known as a mashup (of Web 2.0 technologies, that is) in Geek-speak. This means from now on you can actually navigate to all the key locations mentioned in the novel. Cool!
ps. For more examples of mashups using Google Map, there is always the Google Maps Mania.
