Long time since I last made my entry. I’ve been buying a lot of things on eBay, making podcasts for school, designing several websites. Introduced myself to a couple of new web 2.0 services I’ve grown to love. A lot of volunteering, and just plain hanging out.

Started playing roller hockey with friends, got myself some Missions skates, hockey stick and gloves. Can’t wait till it gets warmer so we can get everyone to play.

The web 2.0 stuff I mentioned before are NetVibes, a cool customizable widget homepage. Pandora, a web based internet radio that works charms without any ads.

Just got back from seeing “The Daily Show” live with Jon Stewart. Till next time, later.

Hey everyone! We’ve all been back for about a week here at Stony Brook, and things kick off at an exciting time! I just watched the Superbowl on TV yesterday with a bunch of friends in my room, Eli’s pass and his ability to avoid a sac was amazing! That was a moment of sports history that is truly memorable! We had chips and dip and soda! It was great, everyone was watching! I’m glad that the Giants won, they went on to defeat the undefeated New England Patriots (18-1)!s

Tomorrow is also Super Tuesday! The day where Republicans and Democrats get to choose their Presidential Candidates in the primaries! This is also very exciting because finally a change will happen in our government. So I’m gonna vote tomorrow at the Student Activity Center. Doors open from 6AM to 9PM.

I was actually volunteering part of my afternoon today to make phone calls to remind people to vote on Super Tuesday for NYPIRG (New York Public Interest Research Group). We believe students need to vote because we have the power to change the future!

For a while now, I have been in search of local blogs, blogs about people and their lives. I was tired of seeing blogs that are active just for the purpose of making ad revenue and those who blog about how to make $$ online. Those are great, I read those when I want new tips for AdSense but sometimes I just want to read some old fashion blogs about New York. The one I currently read, Gothamist, is great but I wanted something more local and more personal.

Call me nosy but I want to know what people in my community is doing. NYCBloggers does the trick! NYCBloggers is a blog directory that focuses on quality blogs from New Yorkers in the five boroughs. The way they organize it is genius! They classify blogs by the bloggers’ subway stop! I live on Saratoga Ave on the 3 line and there are currently 2 other bloggers who are registered at that subway station. I’m about to be the 3rd once I’m approved!

I just think this is a innovative way to connect bloggers in NYC, I mean, lets face it, everyone in the city takes the subway and I’m sure they are interested in bloggers that live near them. NYCBloggers does a great job at connecting the local NYC blogosphere!

Yesterday I was on the 6 train at around 3 going to see a friend. All of a sudden, this guy walks in at the Brooklyn Bridge station and starts taking off his pants. I look at him weird, like what is this guy doing? I figured that he was a jogger and that he just finished his route. Note: Below is NOT the guy I saw.

Nope, Check out these sexy legs! I was wrong, it was the annual No Pants Subway Ride Day. Check out the pictures here! I’m defiantly participating next year!

Yep, this month marks my first year of blogging! I’m proud of what I have produced here, raised some good money with ads and allowed me to share my knowledge to the public.

However, I believe I did not do enough in terms of consistency and quality of the content. Hopefully 2008 will give me time to do this but it is defiantly going to be hard. I’m juggling a few things, school, work and my personal life.

I’m just glad that I can contribute to the growing blogosphere!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

What did I do recently? I moved back home from campus. Plan to work this month.

Updates will be coming soon as I will have more time. Thanks!

You can probably guess why I’ve been MIA for a while. It’s because of school and other stuff. But it’s Thanksgiving today and I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I’m currently staying with my friend in Nyack, NY.

Some of you may be heading out to Black Friday events. Be safe and dress warmly!

This is a nice website for Black Friday deals!

Sorry I haven’ been posting lately, a little busy. Here is a little something taken stright from dailyapps.

Well its been only a day since the Mac OSX Leopard was released officially by Apple and the hackers have managed to create a patched DVD that everyone like you and me can use to install Leopard on PC’s without having to buy a Mac. Please note the tutorial that I am going to post is still experimental and things might not work the right way simply because it is still early days in hacking Leopard to work on PC’s. Well if you don’t mind your PC getting screwed then go ahead and try out this tutorial.

Make sure you backup all important data before you proceed. Here are the things that you will need before Install Leopard on your PC…

• The Patched DVD Image
• The zip file containing the patch
• One pen drive or USB Flash Drive formatted as FAT32

Well once you have all these you can go ahead and Install Leopard..

Step 1. Getting things ready

• Burn the DVD Image onto a Single Layer DVD-R using a software like Nero.
• Format the USB Flash Drive and the drive label should be “Patcher” without the quotes. Please note it has to be “Patcher” only and nothing else for the patch to work when we apply it later.
• Extract the Zip file and put its contents into the USB Flash Drive.
• Now your USB Drive should contain a folder called “files”, if it doesn’t then check to see where you have gone wrong.

Step 2. Installing Leopard

• Now that you have the Patched DVD with you, you can now install Leopard. Pop in the DVD into the drive and boot into it by pressing F12 at the BIOS Prompt.
• Boot into the DVD and the installer should now load. It take a while though, so be patient.
• Select your Language and make sure you select Customize and you need to deselect all the packages that are displayed.
• Leopard will now install. This can take a while, so go grab yourself a coffee.
• It will ask you to Reboot, so go ahead and Reboot. Before rebooting make sure that USB Flash Drive is connected to the PC.

Step 3. Patching Leopard

• Now that you have got Leopard installed, you need to patch it. Before we do that Boot into the Leopard DVD like the way you did before.
• Wait for the Darwin Bootloader to load. Once it loads up press F8. You should now see a prompt. Type -s and hit enter. The DVD will now load in Verbose mode. Watch for any errors. It should load without a problem because you have already installed Leopard.
• Once the setup is loaded select your Language. Once done you should now be seeing the Welcome Screen. Once there navigate to Utilities-Terminal.
• Once the terminal loads up, you now need to browse to your USB Drive, so follow the steps below, typing it exactly as it appears below in the Terminal. In the command line type the following as they appear herecd ..
  cd ..
  cd Volumes
  cd Patcher
  cd files Notice the space between cd and the 2 dots.
• Now its the time to run the patcher to make sure Leopard will work on your PC. Type the following into the Terminal. ./9a581PostPatch.sh
• The Patch should now run. You can answer Yes while removing the ACPUPowerManagement.kext
• After the Script is done, you should now be able to Boot into Leopard after you restart.

Step 4. Congratulations! You’ve done the Impossible!

Well that was it. Please note this has not been extensively tested, so most of your Hardware like Sound, Network may not work. If something goes wrong for you or you want to help us, then please join the discussion over at OSX86Scene. If you noticed I haven’t posted the links to the Torrent that contains the DVD image and the zip. Well I haven’t posted them because I am sure the lawyers over at Apple are going to sue the hell out of me. If you wondering where you can find them, then head over to Demonoid and search for it.

For help see this and this. Hopefully I will have time soon!

What is Web 3.o? Some people still don’t know what Web 2.0 is yet. Guru’s are struggling to define the next revolution but some agree that Web 3.0 is the mobile takeover of the internet. Web 2.0 applications will join Web 3.0 in letting users use that application on mobile devices. Mozilla is already developing it’s Firefox WAP browser soon to be available on mobile phone. Opera already has a successful WAP browser. Slowly services are appearing on mobile phones as we speak. Google has done a nice job of releasing some useful mobile services. Hopefully others will follow.

Web 3.0 means that there will be more money for wireless carriers all of the world! They will put more emphasis in marketing mobile internet and start to offer free WAP as an incentive for people to switch over to their carriers. It’s both a win-win situation because we will start seeing free or more affordable data plans.
