9 MarGabriella Cilmi’s “Sweet About Me”
4 MarGabriella Cilmi may be a rising star. But I think she sucks a little. I mean c’mon. You disabled your YouTube music video so users can’t embed them. In fact, you requested that almost every YouTube user who posted your video disable the embed function. Really nice way to treat your so-called fans, loser.
A New Logo for Sugar Mama
20 FebI run a convenient store at my desk at Arnold DC. I sell candy, chips, muffins, rice krispie treats, soup, etc. I started it because I was sick of how expensive everything was in our vending machines. And it really ticked me off when I would buy something and it was stale. Grrr!
My store is called Sugar Mama and my coworker, Anibal Quinones’ wife was kind enough to make me a logo. It’s sweet!

See the road to recovery with your own eyes
18 FebI’m not sure if any of you are on President Obama’s email list. But today, he unveiled http://www.recovery.org
It’s a new website that lets citizens track every dollar spent and every job created. Users can weigh in with questions and comments.
President Obama is also using http://my.barackobama.com/yourstories as a success metric. He’s actually measuring progress based on thousands of users sharing their personal story about their struggles to make ends meet.
If you care about the road to recovery, take a look. It’s really quite amazing to see this level of accountability and to know it’s accessible to each and every one of us.

Osaka Japanese Steak & Seafood Restaurant in Gainesville, VA

Osaka Japanese Steak & Seafood
Last Friday, we celebrated our friend Trish’s birthday at Osaka Japanese Steak & Seafood restaurant. It’s a really great place for birthdays. They give you a birthday ballon, sing a song, give you a piece of cake, and even let you take a swing at a traditional Japanese drum for a birthday wish. And I think they even give you a $10 discount on your birthday, too!
Apparently, some people have actually read my previous entry about Osaka Japanese Steak & Seafood Restaurant in Gainesville and have commented to the owners about it. WOW!

Suffice to say, we survived Lucas’ first birthday. But I think this shot perfectly captures the day. Everyone wanted to touch him. And he was not having it. We had taken him to the emergency the room the day before. So he was still sick. But like the trooper he is, he pulled through.
Give your website a thumbs up!
12 FebWhat if users could vote on search results? What if Google gave users control of the search results in order to improve the overall user experience?
Well, this is just one of many experiments that Google is doing. It’s called Google SearchWiki.
Next time you’re logged into your gmail account and you do a search in Google, you’ll notice a small arrow icon next to the result. If you click on the arrow, you can actually promote that site. And you can see how many people also give the site a thumbs up.
Every time you click on an arrow, it moves up in the ranking–at least in your custom results.
What’s nice is all the results that you rank get organized into your personalized wikinotes. For research freaks, this is really cool.
Try it and look here to review them.

Just felt like sharing. Have a nice one!
