I am sick at home but I got a ton of work to do.

I hope ads won’t start popping up everywhere. I think Yahoo! looks like its going to kick Googles ass in everything except web searching. [Link]

I have a quick question. I was driving by Al Khalijiyeh Building in Kuwait City when I noticed the gas station across the street from it was branded “Oula”. Is this part of the gas station privatizing? I don’t think they have a logo yet, it was just Oula written in regular black type on a white background, very dull.

I just developed my first roll of colored film with my Holga camera and the results turned out to be pretty impressive. I really prefer color over black & white shots any day and if you compare my shots this time around to my previous black & white ones you can see why. The colors turned out very vibrant and the Holga effects were more obvious this time around. Click on more to see some other pictures.

Coca Cola replaced its old tagline “Real” with a new slogan “Welcome to the Coke side of life”. I still choose Pepsi. [Link]

Loads of handy tips & tricks my favorite being the following:

Receiving E-Mails without giving your real address
Sometimes you want to use your GMail address on a website, but you fear you will get a lot of SPAM afterwards coming from that website. So instead of creating another address just for those kind of websites, you can very easily alter your address. if your address is [email protected], enter on the website [email protected]. We will still receive every e-mail, but if the website do send you a lot of SPAMs, you can create a filter for every message sent to this address ([email protected]) to go directly in the trash !

This is very practical and easy to do:

This tool allows you to customize a PDF notepad. I was always unhappy with a regular piece of paper during meetings because I rarely needed to take notes – but I did have to jot down actions and due dates that I had to complete. Often loosing tasks in a sea of random notes, I had to begin using something better. I created an Excel file first, but then found that I wanted to be able to customize it. Here is a tool!
