Trip Journal of Brandon Behle - Interesting story of a guy who worked six months and earned $10000 so he can travel the world for 6 months to a year.But his trip was brought to an abrupt end when disaster struck thailand.He was in Thailand's Ko Phi Phi Island when the Tsunami struck.
Greg Hughes Wants To Donate His Google's Adsense - Kudos to you Mr Hughes.He wrote an email to Google asking them if it can be done and Google's response was, we "are currently investigating the feasibility of such an endeavor."I am open to donating my Google's adsense revenue, i know its too little but i believe every bit of it will help those who are in need.If every blogger donated their revenue, i think it would make a big difference.
And to all those people who were affected by this tragedy, my condolenses to you and your family.

First Impression Of MSN Spaces

I tried out MSN Spaces and it's not bad.Some noteworthy features
-There are categories for each of your post.
-Very easy to add Modules, just pick from a list.
-Can set permissions for your blog(private, public,messenger(only people on your messenger list))
-You can check the statistics(even shows the referring site).
One thing i dont like about MSN Spaces is the address.You have to type in http://spaces.msn.com/members/kentville (such a long address).
So watch out Blogger.
