Deleting Facebook – Here’s How
Okay, here’s how to get rid of Facebook. I just did it, so this is current as of this blog post. Before deleting your account, make sure you have unchecked any email notifications (they apparently still notify you of some things if you only deactivate the account; I’m not sure if they will do this…

As for Facebook…
Further to the blog entry just before this one, I have concluded that there is no point waiting any longer to be free of Facebook. Here are a few articles I found today regarding how to actually delete Facebook, not just deactivate, but to really delete it (I feel it is my duty to let…

Micro-blogging, Social Networking, and a Small Rant
Myspace is old hat and Facebook is quickly losing favour among the true techno-geeks (who had reserved opinions about Facebook to begin with). “What’s left?” is the question I’ve been asking myself. Well, Twitter for one thing. Though some may consider Twitter old news as it was launched in 2006, I only recently decided to…

Defining Telecommunications – a Look at the Mobile Phone Industry
It’s finally happened. The meaning of mobile communications is changing everyday, but only recently with the release of the Nokia N900 and the Google Nexus One is the North American telecommunications industry living up to (sort of! more change is needed!) what people hope it could be. The Nokia N900 was released in the last…

Time to Say Goodbye to Facebook?
A commentary regarding “Facebook’s Gone Rogue; It’s Time for an Open Alternative” I’ve been peeved at Facebook since they decided to make my profile picture public. I’m just lucky that I know how to fiddle with their other privacy settings, but all the same, I’ve been peeved at Facebook for a while now. I’ve been…

Enneagram Test Results
I did the enneagram test again a few weeks back. Here are the results this time: You are most likely a type 7. Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 7w8. No personality test is completely accurate. Although several measures were taken to make this test as accurate as possible, there’s always a…

IQ Tests; Intelligence Quotient and Society
I remember doing an IQ test back in grade school (I think it was grade 3 or 4). I don’t recall the results nor was I given them :(, but I was recommended for the “Gifted Program” at that time – I guess I didn’t score too badly then. (The program was actually quite boring…

Yes, yes, Myers-Briggs test again
The last time I did this test on HumanMetrics, I got an INFJ. This time, like most other times, I got an INTJ. My results this time are: 56% introverted, 50% intuitive, 62% thinking, and 22% judging. Based on descriptions of INTJ, I think I sound like one. This description in particular left me in…

Canada’s Sergerie brings home a silver in taekwondo
In an exciting match with South Korea’s Hwang Kyungseon, Karine Sergerie loses 2-1 and is awarded a silver medal. Hwang Kyungseon is the welterweight World Taekwondo Champion for 2007 while Sergerie is the lightweight World Taekwondo Champion. A little lighter and shorter than Hwang, Sergerie had to work hard to shorten the distance between her…

Olympic taekwondo – Sergerie in the women’s 67 kg and Michaud in the men’s 80 kg
In women’s 67 kg, Karine Sergerie wins her preliminary match over Australia’s Tina Morgan by the Rule of Superiority. Although the score was tied 0-0, she was clearly the dominant competitor having scored a point only losing it due to receiving two warnings (kyong-go in Korean). Sergerie performed stunningly in the quarterfinals defeating Argentina’s Vanina…
