Granted, not a pc or laptop, but still: Virginia loves her iPad. For perspective: she was born in the year aluminium foil was invented. And this: 1910 inventions. In the first 10 years of her life, this was added: 1910-1920 inventions. Yet she’s still rhyming better than most rappers these days 🙂
Thanq Mr. OneDayCompany!
I’m not dyslexic, but last week I was temporarily affected. I wrote about Taxgedo Tagxedo and mixed up the name… I realised something had to be wrong when checking my StatCounter stats – clicking on the Google query that brought the visitor to my site, it showed only 7 search-results.

You have seen them before: word (or tag) clouds. Wordle was the first one (correct me if I’m wrong). I once imported my LinkedIn contacts – and just now my Del.icio.us tags: cloudy. Interestingly enough, Wordle is now used by a Dutch scientist to evaluate policy-programs of political parties: based on their wordclouds, he determines what they (claim to) emphasize on (yet even the experts had a hard time guessing which cloud belonged to what party…) – view them here.

Reading about hacked blogs, back-up hassles, as a WordPress-user/impleMENTOR, you’re constantly looking for a better and safer one-stop solution (I for sure am – and so should you!). Wondering why the great guys at WP don’t beef up WP itself (implementing some plugins that you now install anyway), I ran into this: Vaultpress. Great minds! So, I signed up for the beta, and this is their reply: (more…)
