Eat 24 hours!!



What do you do when you're hungry, lazy to cook and tired to go out? Yes, you call a deliver. However, if the only number you knew is the pizzeria around the corner and you're sick of it, what would you do? The website I introduce would be an idea.

This interesting site is called eat24hours.com. You can easily find a variety of cuisines near you on this website. And more importantly, they deliver. The benefits for you are convenient, easy and fast. Also the advantages for the restaurants are they can get more exposure online, and easily build a E-Commerce site. Moreover, it's totally FREE!! I wonder how the site makes money. Maybe for now they just want to seek as much as online users.

So........are you hungry now? Let's order something to eat!

P.S. If you are a restaurant owner and would like to join them, check this out:

Inspecting my iPod touch!

Recently I started inspecting my iPod touch. How to synchronize with my iTune, how to download podcasting and how to install some iPod touch applications.

First of all, you have to create and an Apple ID on iTune or apple.com. Then you can log onto iTunes store to check out available musics, movies, podcastings or applications. Some of them are free, some of them are not.

After you choose something from iTunes store, they will be automatically downloaded to your PC, or Mac. Then you have to synchronize them to your iPod touch or iPhone.

Two things before synchronization:
1. You may need to upgrade your iPod software to the last version (v3.1.2) <= $4.95
2.Remember check your the tabs you want to synchronize on your iPod touch.

Our product is Explanation!


Commoncraft.com is the website that uses the interesting animation to explain some of difficult information technologies. Through the animation, no matter you are a geek or not, you can easily understand the concept of those technologies.

Here is an example. I bet you might hear what is called "Cloud Computing." One day you really want to figure it out what it really is and type the keyword on Google, you will find tons of articles with full of the jargon. However, by watching the animation on Commoncraft.com, you can get a simplification of what it is.

There are many other interesting animations on Commoncraft.com. What are you waiting for?

BTW, here is the funny one they did in Halloween 2007:


A new Idea on the Internet: Funding Platform

Kickstarter.com is a brand new internet idea. People can sing up and create fundraising projects on their website. You can simply describe what your project is and how much "pledge" you need within how long you're going to achieve the goal. Moreover, you can also offer some rewards for people who donate to your project.

How does it work?
Funding ends when time expires. At that point one of two things happens:
If a project has reached or exceeded its funding goal when time expires, all backers' credit cards are instantly charged and funds go directly to the project creator. If funding doesn't succeed, all pledges are immediately canceled like nothing ever happened. That's it!
