(Dis)Honourable list

This is not a list every web site maintainer wants to get onto! For the record, here are the award winners for web pages that suck for 2005. Now, while I hope that I will never have the privilege to be mentioned, it is a great learning resource – as long as you are not at the receiving end… 😉

Quick rest

During my recent whirlwind trip to the US – 2 nights at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, followed by 2 nights in Boston, all in the space of 1 week – I was quite fortunate not to have to spend any nights in the airport. However, one thing which came to my attention due to the horrendously long transit waits, which I have never had to endure in the past, was the necessity to find some sort of shower facilities to relax between flights.

Which generation

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? 🙂

Peace

Conflicts seem to be everywhere around the world: the continued confrontations in Middle East, the terror threat to air travellers, civil wars in Africa… Why not stop and think about the true meaning of victory?

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882
American Author, Poet and Philosopher

Adding a Google Map to any web page in 30 seconds

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!
