You guys probably have heard about Pownce already so I’m gonna make this quick.

These past few days, I have the luxury of playing around with it and I have to tell you, man I am blown away. It’s like having a mac version of your YM or GTalk or whatever it is you use to send messages to your friends. But Pownce is more than that…

Pownce is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends. You’ll create a network of the people you know and then you can share stuff with all of them, just a few of them, or even just one other person really fast.

See what it looks like…

At the moment, Pownce is by invitation only and I’m giving away 6 invites (sorry guys). This is first-to-comment, first-to-be-invited basis, so hurry and leave your reply below before I ran out of invites.

For those who have a Pownce account already you can add me as “wites“.

Even how functional or robust a system sometimes, there’s always room for improvement. And speaking of improvement, a team from orderedlist.com created a new plugin that do just that–improve WordPress’s administration panel and it’s called WP Tiger Administration.

The current default WordPress administration area is functional, but I felt it could be improved. For several reasons, I didn’t want to touch the XHTML framework of the admin, but instead relied on the power of CSS2 to manipulate the presentation. The whole package has been wrapped up into a single plugin. Just install and activate. The new design will be immediately visible.

Currently, it is compatible with Safari and Firefox. Surely, Internet Explorer will come after it becomes compliant with CSS2 specifications. For the meantime, Internet Explorer user will see the default WordPress default administration panel. So I suggest you download Firefox or Safari now.

See the plugin in action.

This one got me thinking. Enjoy.

What equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

AND, look how far the love of God will take you

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Does it really work? I am just wondering if the Report Spam feature of Gmail works, because I’ve been spammed by the same types of email everyday. What I mean is that, the spam emails I’ve been getting have the same content, just a different sender. I know we really couldn’t completely eliminate spam, but I’m just hoping that Gmail would develop or improve on their current spam filtering system to weed out spam effectively.

Well, until that time comes, I’ll just keep on reporting every spam email I get.
