Many of you have asked how I made my Avatar. I use it on all of the social networks I’m a part of, including YouTube. You can also find it around this website. I think it’s a pretty good cartoon version of me and it was really easy to make.
If you head over to Yahoo! [...]

You may remember that, a while ago, I made a video about Mokafive, which they describe as a virtual desktop solution. Since I made the video, they’ve changed their website, but I haven’t actually used any of their software since I made the video, so I am unaware of what’s different there. Also, since I [...]

We’ve all watched cartoons at some point in our life, and, many of us still do watch cartoons.

You may remember, on the 26th of May, I made a blog post explaining that I would be uploading a new design for my website. Nearly a month later, nothing has changed. This is because I have been creating my own WordPress theme.

Twitter is one of them things that is difficult to explain. The only way you can truly experience the power of Twitter is to actually use it.
Twitter is a bit like a social network, but it isn’t. It’s similar to an Instant messaging client, but it isn’t one. Actually, it’s a lot like a blog, [...]
