So yesterday was a blog-drafts-cleanup day for me. Wow! I couldn’t believe that I still had some post drafts since I started this blog. Leave aside finishing and publishing them, I actually never even worked on them! Moral of the story - If you don’t have the urge of doing something now and finishing it as [...] [...more]
It is the game and the thrill of making money that we entrepreneurs are into. We should always be trying to seize every opportunity that comes our way. Right? Looking at the large number of arcade / flash game sites making literally obscene money (a quick visit to any website marketplace confirms this), it is difficult [...] [...more]
As I announced some days ago that I have purchased a subscription to Aweber. From what I saw in there, the amount of features they are offering is simply amazing. However, I am opting out of their service. Why? Because FeedBurner does the job for me and is a lot easier than aweber to use. With aweber, [...] [...more]

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.
I will let the author set the scene:
It was back in Oct 2005.
My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)
I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
