A wonderful new tool called BlogRush

I got an email this morning from a really close friend of mine and it had a subject of "Special Invitation". With the increasing problem of spam and silly online advertisements that somehow find their way into your mailbox, I was really skeptical about what it was. Frankly, my mouse cursor was already on it's way to the 'delete' button. :)

So, I read on into the email since this friend of mine tends to send mails of my great interest and of great usefulness (and I don't mean toilet jokes or chain letters). This invitation was for a new web program called BlogRush.

For those who are tech savvy and Internet savvy should know what RSS is. RSS or Really Simple Syndication was developed some where in the 1995, although not popular then. However, with the enormous growth of information on the Internet and the speed of of information that constantly changes, RSS finally found it's fame. Imagine RSS as your online newspaper man that automatically updates the information for you. You will see the RSS icon on your browser's address bar for RSS enabled sites - blogs are always equipped with RSS. (more information on RSS here)

So what can BlogRush do for my blog? There are all sorts of blogs to read out there. BlogRush collects data of similar blogs like mine, say blogs that are of personal diary in nature then what it does is posts a list of blogs on my blog. You should be able to see a box on the right of this blog that has a title "From the BLOGOSPHERE", now that box lists a collection of blogs that are similar to mine.

End result, potential increase in traffic for my blog and other blogs! THANKS BlogRush!

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
