My good friend Reese has launched a fantastic new product – luxury website headers that are unique and limited. From the FAQ:
I couldn’t give my best and brightest work to some of the people who wanted it most, the kind of people I wanted to design beautiful things for. People like you.
I take on only a few full website designs a year, at rates in the thousands. But there was all this beauty and design inside of me waiting for the right people. So I created By Reese, so that a handful more people could have a gorgeous website without needing to make the full custom website investment.
Go check out byreese.com. It’s definitely worth a look if you need a touch of design magic for your website or blog.
Yours truly was quoted in The Star regarding the MCMC block of file sharing websites:
The online file-sharing community remains active despite the Government’s move to block 10 such websites to curb piracy.
Blogger and online marketing consultant David Wang said most users simply moved on to other websites offering the same facilities and services to download content.
“Users can also continue using the blocked websites by getting around it in a few simple steps,” he said.
Wang, who published a blog post titled “What is a DNS (Domain Name System) block and three ways to get around it” following the Government’s ban against the websites, said IT expertise was not necessary to gain access.

Some nitpicks with the first sentence of the article – I think it would have been more accurate to say that “online file sharing activity remains active”. The reasons for the block is clearly following the official line from the Government and doesn’t accurately reflect why web users circumvent the blocking i.e. to bypass censorship.
In a move that goes against the MSC Bill of Guarantees of no internet censorship, the Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry has instructed Malaysian internet service providers (ISPs) to block several file sharing websites. The Star reports that the sites were blocked due to violating the Copyright Act 1987.

Some interesting stats on Facebook and Google’s datacenters, and how the electricity requirements of the internet are going up up up..
Last week, Automattic announced Jetpack, a bundle of plugins that will bring the hosted WordPress.com features into self-hosted WordPress blogs. On the surface it sounds like a great addition to the WordPress platform, but James from WPMU.org points out some far reaching implications.
WordPress 3.1 is now out, with a bunch of new features including the Admin Bar, Internal Linking and a streamlined Write screen. And it works great with Headway 2.0.8. Upgrade today!
Great comparison of Simplenote, Elements, PlainText, and Nebulous Notes, all note-taking apps that I’ve used before. Summary: Elements by Second Gear is the winner.
