Building Mahalo Pages

Posted on March 26, 2008 at 10:48 pm (950) by Alex in General, Personal

I was just watching Jason Calacanis his Ustream channel, and we were all creating Mahalo search pages for mahalo.com. The great thing about mahalo.com is that it’s spam free because it’s human powered, in other words, theres humans checking every link if its spam or not. One of the great things is, Jason gives things away for helping Mahalo. Anyone can make a search result, and because it gets checked by paid Humans its spam free. So just give Mahalo.com a try or check out my profile

The point of Learning about Computers at school

Posted on at 5:28 pm (728) by Alex in General, Personal

Is there really a point for Computing class at school, I don’t think so. Our books learn us stuff about office 2000, we need to make the assignments in office 2007, and the test after every chapter has to be done in office 2003, It really doesn’t make any sense at all. For example next year we will learn about making a website in HTML. That’s not bad nearly every website is based on some sort of HTML, except we won’t just learn the standard html, we will have to make a website as a Test, and you have to use Iframes, If you don’t use Iframes you will fail the test, and I think that’s absolutely BS. why should we learn a technique that every web surfer Hates. It has something to do with money, it’s always about the money. If you really don’t have any money why would you ‘upgrade’ to office 2007 anyway? at the moment I know more about the subject then my teacher does, and that’s just sad. and just a funny note, while writing this, my teacher fried his network card :-)

Whats more fun than this?

What Podcasts do you listen to?

Posted on January 5, 2008 at 6:12 pm (758) by Alex in General, Personal

I listen to allot of Podcasts Mostly Tech orientated Podcasts. Today I’ll share a few podcasts I often listen to.  At the moment I’m subscribed to a few podcasts trough iTunes

Number one, and also my Favorite podcast is Buzz Out Loud from CNET. Buzz Out Loud is a tech podcast, the hosts Molly Wood and Tom Merritt give you the daily tech news and there opinion in about 30 minutes. a Few months ago there producer Jason Howell started chatting on the show too, although he still isn’t seen as host, I myself think he should be.

Visit the Buzz Out Loud page here.

Next up Mahalo Daily, Mahalo Daily isn’t really a tech podcast, It’s more. It also isn’t really a podcast, more like a vodcast. A video podcast. In the latest episode Veronica Belmont interviews Tay Zonday.

Visit and subscribe to this vodcast here

Ok I’ve shown you 2 podcasts today, tomorrow I will show you the other ones. have a nice day
