I just added another cool feature on the sidebar!! I added Google Map!!! The code I found was based on Google Maps API version 1, and Google has already release version 2. It is 100% functional, you can zoom, drag and move just like the regular Google Map. I do want to upgrade the code to version 2 to take advantage of the more detailed Google Maps, but this time there won’t be an easy tutorial to follow, but I love a challenge, hopefully I can figure it …
Apple »
It’s about that time, the night before Steve Jobs’ keynote speech. What will he show the world tomorrow? what new gadget will Apple bring us?? What will the next version of OSX looks like? Anticipation is in the air~ I want a newer bigger capacity ipod cos my 60GB is almost full!! and I want them to have a new imac so that I can buy one this year!!!This time for once I actually didn’t read any of the rumors, I just figure they are so not accurate anyway, why …
Dreams »
*This nightmare is bought to you by my friend – yes, he’s the cause of my nightmare!! put that on your conscious!!*
So in the dream, my friend bought this ugly looking, tacky color, big chunk of plastic brick called Creative Zen player! Similar to Gremlins and yet not cute at all, this thing, if played music after midnight, will turn into a monster! My friend didn’t listen and played music after midnight, and this thing started to grow tentacles, have reptile skin and yellow ugly sharp teeth. …

First of all a big thank you for my friend who helped me patiently when I encountered problems with this bit of changes for the blog. Thank you!!
The sidebar just undergo a hide and seek process and now you can click on each section to hide or expand. It looks simple, and probably doesn’t look that much different from before. (it’s my design philosophy, evolution rather than revolution.) However, it took me a long time to get it right. So you are welcome to play around with it~

More site changes are on the way, as I am in the process of trying to make this blog more dynamic and yet not crowded. I have seen a lot of blog that just throw ten thousand things right at you, with 100 items on the sidebar that scroll to the bottom of the screen seems impossible. I don’t want to have a blog like that! but I don’t want to have a bare featureless blog either. So I am learning and applying new technique as I …
Music »
Searching information is a big part of my job, and it is probably the biggest reason I went into librarianship, obviously I am a bit obsessed with information. So I guess you wouldn’t be surprise to know that I love maps, charts, and graphs, visual aids that make information much easier for people. I put up my music charts on this blog about a month ago via Last.fm/Audioscrobbler feed. I didn’t really go into details about Last.fm. I think now is a good time to blog …
Books, Movies »
There are some movie casting news today that worth mentioning. First up, guess who will be the Joker in the second New Batman film? Heath Ledger!!! Not to doubt of Heath’s acting ability (that certain gay cowboy movie does prove that he can handle more than just teen movies), but Jack Nicholson’s Joker was so memorable that, I really can’t imagine someone else can play it better than that!! Seriously, it’s gonna be tough to amaze anyone, it’s big shoes to fill!!!!
Another news is something that I am totally …
Personal »
I vow to destroy anyone that wake me up early in the morning. On a day where I went to bed at 12:30 at night, didn’t fall asleep until 2am, have to wake up at 6:15 for work, if someone call me at 5:30am in the morning, you would think that person would be the first name to cross off on my To-kill list, right? well, that’s the first thing I think of when this person start going off by asking me when is my birthday? didn’t say hi, …
