Why Web Accessibility is Important

I’m usually a bit more organized with my blog entries but this issue hits quite close to the heart, so it’s going to be more of a ramble this time. So last week, I visited the Infocomm Accessibility Centre at 24seven‘s invitation. The centre is designed to help disabled people to train in infocomm technology,…



Why Twitter is Evil

March 20, 2009 / Opinion, Social Media

Ever since I downloaded TwitterFox, I’ve become hopelessly addicted to Twitter…to the detriment of my blog.

It is apparently revered by many journals and newspapers as quite accurate. I think liberal and conservative need no explanation. As for the other scale, a libertarian…



Review for My Host, TopHostingCenter.Com

February 24, 2008 / Reviews, Site Updates

The many people who googled “Tophostingcenter scam”, landed on Nanyate?! only to be greeted with an empty review page and a rating of 10/10. I finally decided to put them out of their misery by actually writing a review, since I have hosted with TopHostingCenter for almost four months now. And, I assure you, Googlers,…
