*just a thank you*

When I first started this blog 6 months ago, I was happy to see that I was getting 10 return visitors (most likely my friends who just do courtesy clicks on my facebook links..you guys know who you are...hahaha! Thanks for the support!)

My personal blog, Cooking For Juan, which is where I blog about what I had for lunch, got an average of 50 return visitors a month... which led me to believe that blogging about how to clean your apartment, was more interesting that tech tips and trivia.

I wanted this blog to be more of an intro-to-technology, for those that may just be buying their first computer... or wondering what all the fuss is about having a "Smartphone".

But since I started writing my review about Android, and the X10 Mini Pro, I've been getting a lot of emailed inquiries (would be better though as comments on my blog though! hehehe) about the phone, and Android in general.

THANK YOU. To the 500 new readers, and 100 returning visitors! I hope to be able to keep you all interested in the months to come!

Please don't hesitate to write comments or suggestions on this site as well!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you all! Thanks again for visiting!!!!

*BTW, I posted a poll on the upper right corner of the blog, so you guys can let me know what you'd like to read more about in the future!*

Photo blog

A bit off topic,but the New York Times had an event called "A Moment In Time" where they compiled photos from all over the world to form a giant photo mosaic of one particular moment in time.

This was my entry.

to blog or not to blog...

Ever post a funny pic of a friend without them knowing it? Or complain about or boss or colleague on our blog or networking site? Better think twice about things you post.

I've been a netizen for almost 20 years... BBSes were the "in" thing, and 2.4kbps was the norm (now, mobile phones give you 1000x that speed). Growing up "online" teaches you certain rules and protocols on how to behave.

In recent years, blogging has become more accessible to the general public. Now, you don't even need to know HTML to blog. As long as you can spell (sometimes not even...hehehe)... you can blog.

But, as Peter Parker's uncle said, "with great power comes great responsibility". Blogs, and any written work online is considered print media, and public. Thus, is governed by the same laws as newspapers, magazines, billboards, and the like.

Bloggers have to understand that what they blog about, no matter how unpopular or unread your blog is, counts as a broadcast medium.

Suddenly, your entry about your boss is legal grounds for termination... or the cause of friends suing each other over an incriminating photo posted without the other person's consent.

Observe proper conduct, and decent behavior online.

Here's a story in yesterday's Inquirer: Be careful when posting photos on Facebook
