Only yesterday did I find out about “Lolcat”s. I didn’t know that there was a label for such things. So very confused…
Only goes to show you, absolutely crazy weird titles such as “Cats Can Has Grammar” will make you want to go read the post.

Sorry folks for the lack of updates. I think I’ve promised about five people about a new post about what things are going on… and yet I haven’t gotten around to it.
I’m having too much fun… finally striving for what is ahead.
Every little step I make is one step away from where I started. Sure, it’s turning out to be not such a straight line away from where I was… but at least, “vectorial”-ly speaking, I’m moving somewhere.
God, thank you… Continue to open my eyes and fuel me to crawl, walk, run, fly…
With as little bitterness as possible. Please?
I feel like it’s all been a dream in the past three days. Visiting the Yahoo! campus… Just driving past Apple campus… Having a trip to San Jose completely paid for…
I’ve been told I look a little tanned. I’m uncertain how this could be, since I spent most of the day… in the tiniest room on the 2nd floor of building G, “.eu”. For some reason, all the conference rooms on that floor is named after TLDs (1st floor rooms looked like they were named after “I Love Lucy” characters).
Between you and me, dear reader, I don’t think most people who know me personally read this blog. My my, what a world they’re missing…
I hope to post the “post-interview with Yahoo!” tonight… but it might be tomorrow. Hence, this little stub of an entry will have to do for tonight.
Yes. I am indeed… excited, to say the least. The irony is that the name of the company I will be interviewing tomorrow for about… oh… five hours is what I feel like shouting at the top of my lungs, as I’m driving down 101 in my rental PT Cruiser.
And with that… and without reading my feeds… time to sleep.
Question of the Week: Buy Google or Yahoo?
I haven’t really thought about Yahoo as much as I’ve had in the past couple of days.
Google and Yahoo… to normal people, they might just seem like #1 and #2 in the world of online search (there’s a #3? who’s that? ahem). But really, I see that comparing the two companies as a whole is almost like comparing apples to oranges. The commonality that people misunderstand is “search”. But man, there’s so much more!
Both companies are trying to grow. Aggressively. Mind you, Google will be going after Microsoft Office’s market (PowerPoint, anyone?), no matter what Mr. Schmidt is saying at the Web 2.0 Expo (seriously, I only typed “2.0″ cuz it’s name of the conference).
“I don’t think we compete with them. We’re not as fully functional as MS Office — we’re more in line with how people use the web than how they use the desktop.”
I’m not sure how I’ll be using this presentation feature, seeing how I don’t normally create PowerPoints on a day to day basis… but I use Google all the time. The default search engine I use in Firefox is still Google (see how I didn’t say “I google all the time”? Dodged a bullet on that one). I use Gmail for all my email needs. I use Google Reader for my feeds. I also use Google docs, for budgeting and reporting hours for work. I even use Google chat from time to time.
But really, this is only because I haven’t had a reason to try something new. The funny thing is… Yahoo has already been a part of my world… for quite a while, now. While I haven’t really ever used Yahoo search (except to settle a little spat between two friends, Alex and Raj… pertaining to who is really “L Dopa Da Dopsta”..), Yahoo has Del.icio.us and Flickr… two companies very dear to my entrepreneurial heart.
Sadly… Yahoo took a beating on the markets today. Thank goodness I haven’t bought any of their stock. Yet…
What was the point of that? I don’t know. I just needed to relieve some Google/Yahoo steam.
I think this post borders on brain dump… Meh.
