Burning your Literature |

Burning your literature... Many many times I have spent time writing things and then burnt it, usually if I'm ashamed of it, but also because I see a kind of beauty in embracing the inevitable decomposition of everything. By doing this you are also accepting that the reason you write is purely self-indulgent.
I read a story recently about Buddhists who spend hours making murals out of sand only for the wind to eventually blow them away. Its kind of like sandcastles and ice sculptures too...
Altho, people usually have an Iphone to take a sneaky snaptshot!

A world free of war? |

From as far as history goes back there has always been war and it's never been a equal fight, man has always wanted to take over the weaker man and it still goes on today. Can we be ever free from war or is this it forever? so many innocent lives get taken and suffer with the loss of homes and services and it is always seen as part and parcel. What could make all this war stop any ideas?

Pros and Cons of Using a Mobile Broadband Stick |

The only way I have of connecting my laptop to the Internet is with a broadband connection provided by a phone service, in the form of a USB stick.
The biggest benefit, apart from not needing to have a telephone landline at home, is that I can access the Internet anywhere at any time. Unlike WiFi, I do not need to search for a hotspot or register with a provider.
The second big advantage is the cost, which is very low. I pay only £10 a month ($15) for my Internet usage.
The only downside is I am restricted to how much bandwidth I can use each month. When I go over the limit I am unable to download anything or view video content for the remainder of the month.
Connectivity is usually good and I enjoy constant Internet broadband use for as long as I want every day.

Windows 8.1 |

What do you think about Microsoft's newest desktop operating system? It tries to blend together a mobile interface and a desktop one, and they don't seem to be working together very well. People are criticizing it because of this. I have it installed on my new PC, and although it is a bit faster than Windows 7, it crashes rather often, and it feels uncomfortable to keep switching from the tiles interface to the desktop...

Designing a Blog |

I have always thought that the design of a blog can make the difference between success and failure. Of course content is what matters most, but if a blog does not load quickly or is not easy to navigate, visitors are unlikely to bookmark it, share content or subscribe.
A header image helps to brand a blog and should be relevant to what the blog is about. A portrait image used in an avatar of the blogger adds a personal touch, but any unique image can be used.
Too many flashing banners are distracting and turn some people away. Ads should be placed in and around the text without being too obtrusive.
Things to avoid are white text on a black background or a patterned background being used anywhere text appears.
What are your ideas about good blog design?
