T Plate on my Right Humerous

I can't really remember the exact date when I got into a freaking accident. But this is the week when my right humerous got crashed and broken. Now the T-plate is right in place, and I have to leave with it for the next three years I hope.

I remember it really well what happened that night. I came from this bar up north. On my way home after two big bottles, I took this green and white cab, yeah MGE Taxi at Monumento. The ride was good and fast still have enough time to bring the wife to her night shift work.

The accident happened at the corner of commonwealth and this long hi-way coming from SM Fairview. I don't think I need to tell you the exact location,I don't think you'd know it either. Anyways, taxi running really fast and the driver asleep. I saw this light one block away still enough time to press on the break. But the taxi just kept its pace. I held real tight on the passengers rail that's right above the window at the back of the passengers seat and watch everything to happen. All along I thought the driver is wide awake and just lost the breaks, but he confessed later on that he felt asleep. Our cab slammed the wheels of this ten wheeler truck. I knew it'd be big. I even thought it was a bus since bus would take that route for a shortcut.

Bystanders came rushing giving us help and checking us out if we're still alive. I got so pretty much knocked out like riding a ferriswheel 100times faster then stopping all of a sudden.

Long story short, I'll have to leave with this T-plate in my arms for the next two freaking years. Yeah I'm still alive and very much kicking. So F*CK YEAH!

Eraserheads Reunion the aftermath

2008-08-31T11:54:00.000-07:00

The Eraserheads concert pushed through at the Fort Open Field last Saturday Aug 30 2008 but was cut short which left 2 more sets and more fun songs unsung.

As what they've experienced,aside from loosing the Vans wallet thick chain,confidently left to the MEANEST and POOR APS Security Team of the event,almost 60,000 fans gathered ,some also lost a lot of items supposedly deposited to that plastic bag, even colognes and lotions were confiscated. But almost everybody of that 60,000 fans gathered, was just there listening to the songs down memory lane. Video walls and white screens at the field allowed fans to see close ups and be part of the countdown.

It begun to flash the pictures of the band way back the 90's. "Alapaap",with the bass intro mode raised the platform where Ely,Markus,Buddy and Raimund had their grand entrance. Fireworks were from the front then from above which worried people if it was good for Ely's health. At the kick off,Only Markus was wearing his plaid shirt well known Eheads look!

Buddy was in white, as Ely was, but he ended just in a red shirt. Although Raimund was in black tee from Grind Clothing and a green hair. He used to wear that color back during the days, goth eyeliners.

Ely remained in white with an aviator shades until he shook his head to sing "Shake yer head". Or was it the first sign of stress?

All throughout the singing ,with no shades in his eyes,you would witness his innocence,gentleness or maybe he was indeed already feeling weak .But that did not caught the attention of the crowd.

What then did?

The aerial camera caught on screen pretty girls banging their heads for every song they sing or in Dianne's case, Ely's partner,close ups for raising her arms while in her red dress and pearls.

Hmmm come to think about it,Ely even changed the first line of Toyang's Too Young" to "They tried,they really tried to tell us we're too old.Too old to really be Bold."
But later still went on singing "Mahal ko si Toyang pagkat siya'y simple lamang..."

Intrigued? Lips are sealed if Toyang did watch the concert.

Moving forward,the VIP section had fellow musicians,artists and even showbiz personalities.

The Patron,as well as those in General Admission wanted to push down the bars that divided the field but to no avail. It was from the Patron group where the "group hug" cheering started which made Ely grin as a "ngising aso" before singing Light Years, a song from the Fruit Cake album.

Then,Elly just sat down,half kneeling ,embracing his guitar.
Some thought it was emotional tears from the passing away of his mother just this Wednesday.

Then the lights went out of the stage and the watch begun to tick for BREAK!
Close to a 30 minute break,Buddy,Markus and Raimund introduced, Ely's sister, Lally, by saying, "Kasama namin si Lally ang kapatid ni Ely.Makinig kayong mabuti.Alam naming makakaintindi kayong lahat."

And so the physical and emotional stress Ely is going through has been understood.
No more details ,which was supposed to be mentioned by the Promoter,as what Raimund said,was heard.

But a one minute request to pray for Ely's recovery was the most important thing that came out from the organizers. Will there be a part two of the reunion?
For the Eheads much probably.

Check out the posts and video c/o Mark Escueta and Quark Henares at Philmusic.com for their Saguijo jamming.

But for the stage, that should be, again,included in our prayers. Rest and Get well soon to us all.

Keep rockin' ELY!!!

Internet at SONA

2008-07-28T00:33:00.000-07:00

Bwakananginang SMARTBRO at GLORIA

Minsan nalang ako sa isang linggo kung mag post ng walang kakwenta kwentang post, sisirain pa ng SMART BRO. Sobrang bagal ng koneksyon ko. Di tuloy ako makapag youtube saka torrent ng sabay.

Isa sa mga nakikita kong dahilan ay dahil walang pasok ang mga kabataan. Susme! Lumabas ako kanina at pumunta sa FEU para makipaglandian sa mga therapist ko dun. Nakupo nasilip ko ang isang kompyuter syap, di mahulugan karayom sa dami ng batang naglalaro at nagpefriendster. Lahat tambay ng internet cafe! Kaya ako eto nagtatyaga sa mala dial up na koneksyon.

Mga bata talaga ngayun! Kaya nga mga anak ko pinatulog ko muna, dahil kaninang umaga habang ako'y nilalandi ng aking therapist, sila ang nagpakasasa sa pag gamit ng nagiisang kompyuter ng bayan, ang kompyuter ko.

Isa pa sa mga nakikita kong dahilan kung bakit mabagal ang aking internet ay dahil may SONA, bwakananginang GLORIA, lunes na lunes sinisira araw ng mga manggagawang pilipino. Nangangako ng kung ano ano. Sana man lang sa susunod na linggo na lang yung SONA para lahat ng tao nakapagout of town. Kaso hindi na nakapaghintay ang lola nyo.

Kaya ayun, habang walang sweldo ang mga tao pilit nambobola ng kung ano ano. Ano nga kaya, kung nauna ang sahod bago ang SONA. May makikinig kaya sa kanya. Tyak ko wala, dahil lahat out of town, nag long weekend. Kahit umuulan nasa dagat at pinipilit magsurf.

Pero kahit may sahod malamang wala pa ding makikinig sa kanya. Makita mo ang pila sa LITEX? Makailang ikot ang tao sa pagpila para sa isang butil bigas?

Buhay nga naman! Minsan itatawa mo na lang.

The Funky Doobiest Tee

2008-07-28T00:01:00.001-07:00

LIGAYA Tshirt

I wonder how many of this tee got printed. It's one of my wife's precious collection way back when we were still in college. Reminiscing our UP Days.

I told her to keep it and preserve it well coz one of this days this shirt will be very precious. And true enough, after the band disbanded we never used the shirt and kept it well away from our kids.

One of our kids saw this tee once and asked us if he could wear it, I just told him its still big for him. He liked it coz he loves Voltes V. He doesnt have any idea who the Eheads was back then.

So if anyone know who did the print or designed this shirt, may we request for more copies? This time for our kids naman.

Italics

2008-07-26T09:16:00.000-07:00

To my fellow graphics designer and web designers Heres a guideline on how to use or when to italize a word. I got it from a newsletter, Entireweb Weekly News. I thought you might pick some pointers. As for my case I dont use it unless stated. I'd rather abuse BOLD and hope to see something beautiful in the word.

Italics - When you should use them

The purpose of italic typefaces is to aid comprehension by separating off certain words and phrases from their surrounding text. But when exactly should you use italics?

The basic purpose in typesetting a story or article for a book, newspaper or periodical, for print or online, is to enhance understanding of the text and thereby make the reading an easy, pleasant experience.

Roman type is the straightforward, upright type we read everyday in our newspapers, magazines and books, and on our monitors.

Italic is the 'handwriting' equivalent of whatever roman font we are reading. It has a sloping cursive quality that reminds us of the manual writing we learned in primary school.

Bold type is roman or italic font that has been emphasized by thickening and making it darker than the surrounding text.

The question is: when should we use which version of a particular typeface - roman, italic, or bold? The answer must focus on the reader's needs and the reading experience.

It is obvious that for most copy the roman version of the chosen font should be used. This is because, having an upright face, it is the easiest to read and it is what readers expect.

Because the bold version of a font makes text stand out strongly, it is used for highlighting important words, phrases and sections. Thus headlines, decks and subheads set in bold will, along with pull-quotes and other tricks of the typesetter's art, provide the casual scanner with clues as to what your article or story is all about. The judicious use of bold in this way will induce him or her to read the main story.

Bold however is too strong to be used, except very occasionally, within body text. To set off words from surrounding text is the main function of italics.

So when should you use italics exactly? Here's a sort of check-list, a mixture of accepted practice and my personal opinion.

Most of these when-to-use-italics rules apply equally to words in body copy, head-lines and captions, and whether you are typesetting books, articles, stories or web-pages.

[1] The names of ships and aircraft; eg: The Caribbean Cruiser sank yesterday. This is the oldest when-to-use-italics rule. It allows the reader to quickly grasp what is being referred to in the message.

[2] The titles of poems; eg: As You Go Dancing by James Stewart is famous among the literati of the Arabian Gulf. This is another very traditional use of italics that enables quick reader-uptake.

[3] Foreign words; eg: We turned left and found ourselves in a cul de sac. Another very traditional use of italics that makes for quicker reading.

[4] The titles of books, newspapers, articles and stories occurring within a sentence without further explanation; eg: The Saturday edition of the Limerick Leader was always on the streets by Friday afternoon.

However titles that appear within larger works are not italicized but are set off in quotation marks; eg: 'An Irishman's Diary' in the Irish Times is sometimes interesting.

[5] Latin phrases used to classify living things; eg: Many people wonder why mankind is referred to as homo sapiens. Another use of italics that has been around ab aeterno.

[6] Where a word is used as an example rather than for its meaning; eg: The word Kennedy is a proper noun. This is neater than setting the noun within single quotes as in: The word 'Kennedy' is a proper noun.

[7] For introducing new terms; eg: In Freudian psychology reference is made to the ego, the super-ego, and the id. This is a neat solution to highlighting words that will probably be explained later.

[8] For the subjects of definitions; eg: An odd number is any number that cannot be divided by two. This is useful for the reader as, should he or she wish to refer back to the definition later, a word in italics among a sea of roman letters is easy to find.

[9] For mathematical symbols: eg: The standard acceleration of gravity g is 9.81183 metres per second per second. The symbol does not need to be surrounded by commas or single quotes which would be required if it were set in roman type.

[10] For emphasis; eg: Janice wasn't the only girl at the party. The use of italics for emphasis is less intrusive than bold and more subtly suggestive.

[11] To indicate a character's internal reflections in stories; eg: This just does not seem right, Janice thought. However many writers prefer other ways of expressing inner thoughts.

[12] Using a letter or number as a noun; eg: He was vexed because they had left out the d in his name. However many writers would prefer to put a letter or number used in this way between quotes: eg; He was vexed because they had left out the 'd' in his name.

That's about it for the when-to-use italics rules. Except, what should you do if you need to use italics within italics?

If some word or phrase that should be italicised is already within a run of italics, the trick is to switch back to roman type for that word or phrase; eg: I'm in a really weird situation, Janice thought.

This italics-within-italics solution works best when italics are used to highlight internal reflections; eg: Why can't we just look up Wikipedia for the answer? he wondered to himself.

Of course, you don't have to follow these when-to-use-italics rules. However most of them are in current use because they do aid reader comprehension.

Indeed, most of us have an instinct as to when the use of italics is appropriate. Perhaps you can devise better rules of your own. If so, let me know.

There you go, I hope you really did read the whole article. Since youre still reading this far, good for you. I'll give you a pat on the shoulder when I see you.

ERASERHEADS REUNION CONCERT!"

Eraserheads One Night Concert CONFIRMED!!

2008-07-13T11:24:00.000-07:00

Eraserheads Reunites!!

I got this news just this morning, so everybody in the house got pretty much excited with the it. Everybody at home thought this would be very impossible but when they saw this article from RICKY LO they got pretty much excited and starts planning to buy the ticket already.

One thing's for sure is it'd only gonna be a "ONE NIGHT" only. But who knows during they're practice sessions they would all give in and continue what they've started. And hopefully have it announced on at the end of the concert. But maybe not since I read somewhere that this might be the last gig for Ely before he shifts into new career which is film making. This was one of hes reasons why he left the band, but after all those years he still hasn't come up with any film. Anyways heres the whole article, just in case you werent able to buy the sunday paper.

Yes, it’s confirmed: The Eraserheads are reuniting after many years of being apart, not for good but only for one show slated for Aug. 30 at the CCP Open Grounds.

According to the STAR source, all the original members (photo) are performing — Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan.

This piece of good news should make the Eraserheads fans very happy.

Said to be the ‘greatest Pinoy band,’ the Eraserheads will sing all their hit songs, including Alapaap, Toyang and Ang Huling El Bimbo.

So much water, so to speak, has flowed under the bridge since the band broke up years ago.

Ely, who survived a heart attack two years ago, has formed two bands, Mongol (which didn’t last long) and Pupil (still playing).

‘It took one big company to bring the former band members together,’ said the source who is keeping the company’s identity ‘confidential’ for the time being.
Really now, don’t the Eraserheads fans wish that the band would stay together not just for a one-night-only concert but for good...for old time’s sake?— Ricky Lo

Eraserheads Reuniting this 2008?

2008-07-11T10:10:00.000-07:00

Well that's the latest news in the band scene that I got from one e-group. Let's just keep our fingers cross because there had been photos around with the fab four signing some contract.

If you guys seen the Jessica Soho show wherein they featured the three guys minus the main man for the UP Centennial celebration. The lead guitarist said something like "I wish he was here".

Anyways with the main news that I got, heres the whole message from the e-group.:

"I'm not sure if I would be the first person on the net to post this blind item.

But I got it from a reliable source that a certain big, big, big 90's local band will reunite for a one-night-only concert that will surely shake up the music industry and the dormant fan base that have been eagerly awaiting for this moment.

The concert will be sponsored by a big multinational company, a big client of the company that my mole is currently working for.

The estranged members have been wooed since early this year and they only relented when they were offered a staggering amount of Php ??, 000,000.00. =). Ain't that a lot of zeroes?

The reuniting band members have already signed the contract and this may-jah event will happen sometime around the last quarter of this year. The venue might probably be at the Pasay Area. Somewhere near that humongous Mall. They are expecting an audience of 35,000.

I've seen the teaser posters that they will release soon."

So, there. What do you guys think? Lets just pray ten Hail Mary's 21 Glory Be's 13 Our Fathers and a hundred AMENS!!!!!!

Bring down the World Market the FiIipino Way

2008-07-10T08:26:00.000-07:00

Have you guys thought on how we can bring down the World Market? I know one, since everything is in chaos in Israel, fuel price going up, and we the workers are the ones suffering big time.

So I was thinking the only way we could have our own stupid revenge is to ask all our OFW's to come home.

Imagine this, there are so gazillions of Overseas Filipino Workers around the world. Bringing them home would be catastrophe to their bosses. If a nanny comes back home, they're boss wont be able to come to work and that would mean bad business. Itd be a domino effect right?

Ha ha ha where did that stupid idea came from and what was I thinking.. I'm just hungry thats all, and I need to fall in line to the National Food Authority tomorrow morning just to have rice.

Manny Pacquiao KOs Diaz in 9th Round

2008-06-30T16:15:00.000-07:00

The bout for WBC Lightweight Title

I saw yesterdays fight between Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao and David Diaz through online technology. Thanks to live video streamings from JUSTIN.tv.

Was able to watch the game in pay per view instead of watching and waiting it to happen on the local channel.

PACMAN-Manny Pacquia won. His opponent had only 1 lose and 34 wins on the record but PACMAN defeated him and got his Lightweight Championship Belt.

To Manny Pacquiao, congratulations, we are proud of you.

By the way, Manny has been paid millions for sure for ads from all those companies like Nike Philippines, and all those on his trunks.

LOYALTY vs BETRAYAL

2008-06-19T10:49:00.000-07:00

I've been in this company for almost 4 years now. I've seen it grow and expand and never did I imagined that it'd get this big. The manila office started from an apartment to a 2 bedroom condo unit with a kitchen and one bathroom. All being shared by 10 diff people of 2 different companies. Now we have two big offices, one in Makati and in Pasig City. The Pasig office now uses the whole 3 floors. The first floor for the marketing dept. Third floor for data and catalog, programmers and admin.

The main office is in Legazpi, thats where it all started. Now seeing this mother office close down gives me teary eyes.

The people working there started it all. All their hard works and sacrifices are now going down the drain. I find this unfair. Four months ago the main man came to visit us at Pasig office. We we're assured that we wont be affected by the recession in the states, and that would even give us bigger sales. But looks like it's the other way around.

Today, almost 80?? people from my company lost their jobs. What if I was one of those people who got retrenched. How would I pay and bring my kids to school. Freelancing is not enough. How would I pay our condo unit? And how would I bring food on the table.

I'm still trying not to think about it.

Old Photographs

2008-06-16T10:45:00.000-07:00

I was reviewing some of my old trash files and stumbled on some of my college black and white photo. Plates for my Photography class during my stay at the College of Fine Arts in University of the East.

Back then, I was only using my all time favorite Nikon FM10. I got it from Hidalgo in Quiapo for a whopping 15k. I should've bought Canon, but this is way cheaper for students.

It's not really about the camera that your using. It's on the composition of the photo that you're taking. And how you mess around your film on the dark room and wasting all your photo papers. Photography is such a rich mans hobby.

Enough of my blah blahs..here they are.. Enjoy!

Burning Out

2008-06-02T22:06:00.000-07:00

Burn

Saw this article at CNN and it did caught my attention. Ive been experiencing all this signs weeks ago and during mental blocks and dry seasons. But I’m trying to get back the enthusiasm. I need to work. It’s the job that pays the unit and school tuitions and bills and list goes on... so yeah I need to find a reason to like, if not love, it.

I'm not a robot, not a machine either..so forgive me.

Sign No. 1: Your co-workers are walking on eggshells around you.

If you find yourself becoming cranky and irritable with co-workers you used to get along with, it may be more than just typical interpersonal dynamics.

Sign No. 2: You come in late and want to leave earlier.

You used to wake up in the morning excited for another day, but now every day you dread heading into the office. Once lunch passes you start watching the clock, counting the minutes to the end of the day.

Sign No. 3: Apathy has replaced enthusiasm.

You feel no motivation, no sense of accomplishment and have no desire to be challenged. Those who have burnout lose their motivation to perform, as well as their feelings of pride for a job well done.

Sign No. 4: You've lost camaraderie with co-workers.

You're no longer interested in the company network. You used to go to lunch, go out for drinks and participate in other company functions but now have no desire in socializing in or out of the office.

Sign No. 5: You're feeling physically sick.

You always feel exhausted, have headaches, feel tension in all of your muscles and are having trouble sleeping. These physical signs are common indicators of job stress, and demonstrate that this can turn into a physical problem.

Tight Security at Hanjin

2008-05-30T10:16:00.000-07:00

ahhh Koreans

I got this post from my email regarding power tripping and tigh security

---------------------------------------------------------

Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 07:49:03 -0700 (PDT)
From: win wow
Subject: lupet ng security ng hanjin
To: monluckvein@yahoo.com

To Whom It May Concern:
I Arwin Payumo Osorio , Resident of Kalaklan Olongapo City, would like to file a complaint regarding HHIC-PHIL Security Patrol, it happened last May 14, 2008 at 12:55 AM. While having our break time at Hanjin Ship building at pre-out fitting shop (Bldg.) 9 workers of hanjin had experienced a GUN POINTING from "patig guys", one person was only wearing shorts and sandals. Two workers had experience harassment, brutality and were physical abused from the RED SAFETY PATROL.

They made a saddening action that put us in a critical situation! They turned off the light and came in our shop while some of my co workers were still asleep, they came in with a riffle pointed it at us and forced us to get down to our working place which is block # 1509. They forced us to get down on the floor. Two of us experienced this. One of them kicked my back to force me to get down on the floor and chained us. They hadn't told us anything so we were still wondering what was going on!

Although we said that we were workers there they still refused to listed to us. Only two of us had a hand chain, yes they put a hand chain to our hand while are hand are being twisted I ask for a time but they refuse to answer I thought its only a practice but its not.
After that they brought us to our seven co-workers and asked them if they knew us. They said, "yes", but they still didn't remove our hand chain.
Suddenly one Red Safety Patrol attacked my co-worker whom was also my co-hand chain. he started asking him why he looked at him "like that", and then he started pushing my co-worker. I tried to stop the red safety patrol by telling him to stop his only awake his small and tin person he looks like a teenager to me, but the red safety patrol ignored me and punched my co-worker in the stomach. I was confused, shaken and scared at the time but I still tried to stop the red safety patrol. I said, "sir, why is that? What¢s that for? That¢s illegal sir". I saw his id necklace but his id was hiding in his shirt pocket, so I asked him his name. Instead of telling me his name one of them punched me twice in the face. It caused four minor bleedings in my lips. Suddenly one of them made the right decision to put us in their mobile service and start questioning us. I answered all of his question with respect. Suddenly our engineering staff came due to one of my co-workers that ran for help. Our engineer confirmed that we are his men. The Red Safety Patrol rushed to take off our hand chain because one of the workers at hanjin shouted and said, "E video nyo yan"!! After they took off our hand chain they disappeared without even saying
"Sorry it was a big mistake"!!!

My coworkers and I were so deeply traumatized after this unfortunate incident no one was able to work the rest of the night because our whole bodies were shaken up and our minds were wondering what had just happened We were not able to fully recover enough to continue on thus putting us in jeopardy to be removed from our positions at Hanjin.
Sincerely,
Arwin Osorio

Original Fire

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on

With a pen in one hand taking us and drugged on kerosene
'84 and 5 would find us something to believe
Right or wrong with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in dischord choirs
Screaming in braille no temptress prize
Could ever yield anything so real

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on

Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
Here the rain falls ever after
The swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to your head induces laughter endlessly

The original fire has died and gone
But the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone
But the riot inside moves on

Can't explain that it was somethin' to see
Can't contain so somethin' ever real
Ever real
Hey!

Can't explain it was somethin' to see
Can't contain so somethin' ever real
Ever real

Happy Next Year...

2007-12-29T02:49:00.000-08:00

We're on the last day of 2007, and what a messy year it was.

It was for me, I dunno about you guys, 2007 for me was a wreck specially on the latter part of the year when me and my wife got into an accident.

Broken bones, dislocated shoulders for me. Yep no worries I'm still alive. Thanks to my officemates who came and visited me after my operations..BADUY NYO!

This coming year is of course the time of year to make changes in our lives; as to whether we actually do change is another thing altogether.

Last post for 2007..

How to get traffic for your blog

This post is from Seth Godin, that I wish to share...

Use lists.
Be topical... write posts that need to be read right now.
Learn enough to become the expert in your field.
Break news.
Be timeless... write posts that will be readable in a year.
Be among the first with a great blog on your topic, then encourage others to blog on the same topic.
Share your expertise generously so people recognize it and depend on you.
Announce news.
Write short, pithy posts.
Encourage your readers to help you manipulate the technorati top blog list.
Don't write about your cat, your boyfriend or your kids.
Write long, definitive posts.
Write about your kids.
Be snarky. Write nearly libelous things about fellow bloggers, daring them to respond (with links back to you) on their blog.
Be sycophantic. Share linklove and expect some back.
Include polls, meters and other eye candy.
Tag your posts. Use del.ico.us.
Coin a term or two.
Do email interviews with the well-known.
Answer your email.
Use photos. Salacious ones are best.
Be anonymous.
Encourage your readers to digg your posts. (and to use furl and reddit). Do it with every post.
Post your photos on flickr.
Encourage your readers to subscribe by RSS.
Start at the beginning and take your readers through a months-long education.
Include comments so your blog becomes a virtual water cooler that feeds itself.
Assume that every day is the beginning, because you always have new readers.
Highlight your best posts on your Squidoo lens.
Point to useful but little-known resources.
Write about stuff that appeals to the majority of current blog readers--like gadgets and web 2.0.
Write about Google.
Have relevant ads that are even better than your content.
Don't include comments, people will cross post their responses.
Write posts that each include dozens of trackbacks to dozens of blog posts so that people will notice you.
Run no ads.
Keep tweaking your template to make it include every conceivable bell or whistle.
Write about blogging.
Digest the good ideas of other people, all day, every day.
Invent a whole new kind of art or interaction.
Post on weekdays, because there are more readers.
Write about a never-ending parade of different topics so you don't bore your readers.
Post on weekends, because there are fewer new posts.
Don't interrupt your writing with a lot of links.
Dress your blog (fonts and design) as well as you would dress yourself for a meeting with a stranger.
Edit yourself. Ruthlessly.
Don't promote yourself and your business or your books or your projects at the expense of the reader's attention.
Be patient.
Give credit to those that inspired, it makes your writing more useful.
Ping technorati. Or have someone smarter than me tell you how to do it automatically.
Write about only one thing, in ever-deepening detail, so you become definitive.
Write in English.
Better, write in Chinese.
Write about obscure stuff that appeals to an obsessed minority.
Don't be boring.
Write stuff that people want to read and share.
